Reg, I was wondering how does the LESU springs hold up to a full tank of water? I believe you are using the set with the aluminum or metal leaves vs the plastic leaves, I have the same set in my truck. My truck seems soft in the rear but I don't have a trailer to see if it is too soft or not.

Sorry but I just saw the last post Craig! The springs are better than Tamiya but not great.

I have been wanting to do this for a while but just haven't made the time. My mill is down again and it's cramping my style in the shop while I wait for new parts to come so I thought I'd get this done. As you've all seen before, I use this truck to show off my customer's trailers before they ship out. I had two esc's in the truck but didn't have a way to power the dump bodies or the tarps without pulling the cab off so I added a third esc and these speaker connectors to the cab. It's not the best looking but it will make short work of the connections and still leaves room the mount the water tank this summer.

Thanks. Someone on Facebook suggested painting them silver and although I like that idea, I think I will just make a little aluminum cover for the very top. That will hide them a bit more. without having to paint them.

With the added copper details, why not an aluminum box with a copper hinged front to hide the connectors? Love the idea of the connectors!!
