I think once they are on the market and a few of forum suppliers start building parts for this new truck it will become a popular truck.. Steve can make wheels for them Stepside makes a new visor for them, longer wheel base kits and some better paint jobs will really help

Just my 2 cents.....

My first choice will still be a King hauler, That freight shaker won't work on my off road yard, I prefer vocational trucks!

I agree, at least they are making some sort of effort, unfortunately it's not everyone's taste but I see a lot of potential, I can pull potential pretty much out of anything... It's all in the eye of the beholder and what you do with it.... I'm sure it will be a challenge but a lot can be done with this truck.....

I think that at least they have brought a truck out that is non European, may not be what everyone wants...
but why are we having a discussion about licensing etc why can't they build a kit that is close and doesn't encroach on licensing issues. And is simple enough to modify ????? I guess similar to the King Hauler Globeliner but much closer to an actual truck model.
Just a thought anyway

At least it's another option... Guy's will buy these and modify them just the same as any of the other kit trucks. In the end they will look great!

I saw on one os the web sights that the model is 193mm wide. Do the math and it is 14.5 scale.
