Thanks Guys.

Here's an update of the truck-

I installed a lift axle, servo operated along with a few more odds and ends.

Wow the new paint and lift axle look great on this truck. Love the look of the extended wheelbase and day cab's.

Sharkey- it has an 55turn with a 6 tooth pinion on it. Does well, I would like it a little slower though.

Thanks for the compliments gents.

Truck looks great man. Now would that bruder in the background be one of those things to finish?? I also see a red zero turn mower in the background.... What brand are you running?
