Great to see this rig is still okay! Your fab work is awesome! This truck and trailer combo is really starting to take shape! :D

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

The trailer looks real good Steve. I see you are doing your own steering axle make sure you put some caster in it. Ed

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Good lookin' improvements Steve! Can't wait for more progress! :D

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

I see what you're up to Steve. I would try and tighten up the gap between the vertical rows of lights. That or double them up. To much gap between the H and the I. :D

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Nice build so far steve....definitely looks like a heavy duty:D

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
