Got a good birds nest under da hood! Lol!! I can't tell you how many times I've soldered things up only to realize I missed a wire placement or wrong wires!!! Hate that!! Love the truck stand you got from reg!! And the pic with the 4:1 was just what I needed as I think I need to instal one of them, and wasn't sure on clearances, thanks!! Your truck is going to be even better than it already was. Looks like we are going to have a bit more winter than wanted so good downtime build time. .

There was some trimming and moving to make this fit RW. If your using the stock Tamiya cab floor plate, one of the webs has to be ground down to clear the gru. And the crossmember is now just a floater and slid back from the mounted position. If you zoom in on the right side fuel tank, you can just see where the holes for the mount are. Pretty much perpendicular to the front edge of fuel tank. That's one of the crossers I ran wires through!. And to remove the thing was just too much more of a tear down so I just slid it back, removed the fuel tank screws, drilled through the web of the crossmember and reinstalled the fuel tank screw to hold it in place.

Here's testing of the GRU using a stock Tamiya pinion gear , LRP truck puller3 motor and the 4:1

And I got the wiring cleaned up a bit lastnight. Almost ready to throw the body back on. Most of the time I complain RX leads are too short but with all the long leads from the light and sound unit in this day cab it's a challenge to fit them somewhere. Lesson learned . Next time I'll cut to length.
Afterall, this truck did start out as a spare parts build.
