This is a cool looking truck. The hood looks awesome. With it having an articulated center joint, is that the sole means of steering the truck now, or are you going to combine the articulated joint with a steerable front axle too, and tighten up the turning radius even more? Those rims and tires are killer looking, by the way!

Thanks for the comment, right now it's just the articulating for steering, I do have a TLT steer axle I can throw in there but the steering radius is pretty close to a stock king hauler. I love the rims as well, I have the same ones on my 1/14 8x8 Hemtt I built a few months ago.

Thanks 22, its just about the same as a standard steering dump. The frame is a little longer with the 18" box on it so its not as tight as a shorter ten wheeler.

LOL, yeah I think I have adhd or abcd or something, but for some reason I always need to power through and get things finished. I have the same tires and rims on my 1/14 Hemtt, I love the look.

Still need to replace the axles and tires, then add the ramps.
