Couldnt answer that actually Probuilder painted the cab. The yellow stripes are painted, the orange stripes are small!



Ok everyone likes pics but i like Video's so here are a few I couldnt wait around any longer so i ran some plumbing and tested the trailer out. works pretty good!! AND the rear latch is working quite nicely. I think a few minor minor adjustments and it'll be perfect!! so here we go

Way cool. Have you had a chance to see what kind of weight it will lift? Can't wait to see more!

Thanks i tested it up to about 35lbs and didnt seem to slow it down one bit. Thats prob more then what will ever be in it in either rubber or dirt i would assume. So i would prob be safe in saying it could handle whatever you put in it. i may do some more testing later. I got the lights soldered back together and the tweaked the suspension a little bit last night, then polished the frame and support legs a bit. Drilled some holes as the legs were never designed to actually work (doesnt make sence to me) BUT i fixed that with 2 holes and made some pins so you could lower the legs and have the trailer stand level on its own. Ill take some more pics later today and post them up as the sun is coming out and would make for some nice pictures.


Thanks for looking
