For super-single steers, probably consider making a set of cut&shuts? You'll need some Rubberized CA glue normally used for mounting racecar tires. I'd take off the parting line tread block, and maybe the one next to it.

We're not gonna judge you about what you were doing with the driver, if you're both concenting adults, be yourself.

Thanks, guys! I've got a set of 30mm width wheels coming from Semi Joe. We'll see how they fit. I've done cut-n-shuts back in the day, but it's been well over 10 years. I may consider that, but we'll see...

As far as Cletus goes, things were a bit awkward between us for awhile, but we're all good now.

I'm happy to see the interior taking shape the way I'd envisioned.

Well, Cletus has gotten all gussied up so he can scour the truck stops for lot lizards!


I told him his toupe looks ridiculous.


Since I got rid of the raised transmission I decided to get a new floor section that wasn't cut up. I also painted and detailed the seats a bit.


Uh oh, the Lesu trans is also too tall.


A 2mm body lift under the cab and sleeper did the trick.


Barely noticeable.


Here you can also see the plates I put on the bumper and I also added some lenses to the Lesu headlights because they weren't included!


Speaking of the Lesu headlights, it's not going to be easy to wire these up cleanly!


Since I'm planning my trailer build, I also picked up some aluminum axles and some cheap wheels. For now I'll use the extra Lesu AT tires I had laying around, though I'm hoping to get some lower profile tires to fit underneath my trailer. Anyone wanna trade?




It's getting so close! Cletus had to jump in and make vroom vroom noises. By the way, it's not easy getting the body on with him in there! LOL
