Now I built the tire rack for the back of the cab and I got building and did not take picks but here are some afters. All alum sheet and angle taped and screwed together with a chain rack on the passenger side.





Now to build the drum winch. I am not going to make the winch itself work but it will work. :-/

Ok here is how I am making the winch work. i am mounting one of the good scale German winches. the winch that started all the other winches nice thing about these is they will pull ALOT of weight with out breaking.




Then I mounted a fair led in the top of the deck for the cable to come threw and wrapped the cable around the drum. So when you run the winch teh drum will turn .

I got a little more detail work done late last night on the rig. I made a movable 5th wheel and 5th wheel ramps.




And as you can see in the picks above I also added a RC4WD King Kong hook.

Then I added a edge for the chain box out of brass angle.

Then I made square blinkers out of 3/8 square tube and cut the King hauler amber light to fit. And I also added brush guards out of brass over the blinkers.


I got the tranny mounted. I used some milled shock mounts for the F350 they were the perfect size and hole pattern.



I also got 2 of the 3 drive shafts in my other one did not show yet.



Then I got the steering done. I used bigger alum tie rods and emaxx ball joints and I added alum black drive hubs and junked the plastic ones. I also used a 645 for the steering and a 5626 for the shifting.

Then i thought a set of these were fitting since it would be 11.4 Lipo and a 55 turn with a 8 tooth.



And the rig is getting a full set of custom milled hubs
