Thanks for all the kind words guys. Small little update, came up with my own tank brackets since I'm not to fond of the ones tamiya provides. LMK what you think:confused: They started out as 1''x1/4'' aluminum bar stock.

OK, I added an MFU and have no power in reverse. I have a 55t motor and using the stock 13t pinion. Can any one help?:confused:

hay that cab over pete i see on the way to princeton mn hwy 169 with the curtain side for sale isnt yours is it. i go through zimmerman daily on my way to deerwood and aitkin. what kind of remote do you have for the globe. did you try messing with the trims! can you hear it grinding or anything?

see guys... us minnesota boys can build to.......LOL
love the stance on the truck!!! outstanding paint

Thanks spudd:D
Cory, That cab over is an '88 frieghtliner. I heard it has a b-modle cat backed by a 13spd and that both only have 1000 miles and the work was done by ziegler cat, two new rear ends last summer and riding on a nice comfy 280'' wb. I guess he wants 20k for it. If I had the money it would in my drive way hooked to my scrap wagon.:cool: As for my globe, i'm using the rds8000 and hear no grinding. I'll try the trim trick. thanks a ton. BTW was that you on 694 on friday morning?

Yes sir i get on at rice street i was heading west to plymouth took 1 1/2 hours to get there with that baby snow storm!!! i have the same remote as you and the trims are tricky and find myself always messing with them on my knight hauler . Yeah i got a quik look at it and he just had the trailer before and then i noticed the truck about a week ago it is nice looking accept he has it angled away from the road! i swear it was a pete but you sure have the stats on it. i had a guy named robert on here help me to get mine moving had to reset alot of the options on the remote or reverse them!

Real nice build. I like that paint.

Looking really good!!

i will keep my eye out now i never forget a truck!

Looks great!! Love the color!!:cool:

The tank mounts I made holding a set of Steve's tanks and Brian's 1/4'' SS straps keeping everything held together.

And fabed up a tail plate to mount Lynn's sweet bezels.

Love those fenders and of course the color. My globe (currently) looks really close to yours. I love these globes and that color rocks out in the sunlight!!! You did a great job with yours! I wish i could get mine finished up

Wow, outstanding looking Globe Petemob! Looks great and your homemade parts turned out fantastic too. I would be proud to own that!
