Cool My new Blue Dump Truck

Got the chance to buy a truck i really wanted and yep as usual i tore it apart and added my own personal touches to it. Im now the proud owner of the "Biddle Built" Blue Dump Cab over Couple of things were changed and some added.
Changed the front bumper to an aluminum one,
changed the rear mud flaps from white to black with polished weights,
Added RC4WD Light kit
And arriving today (and already partially on the cab just not perm mounted yet) New mini light bar From John in denmark.
Also added rear gate latch using a servo so i can keep my loads in the bed when i want too lol.
Also added the wood to the top of the bed






The Brothers next to each other




New light bar




Running the light bar off a battle switch
here are some videos of the dump and light bar

Aaron, I must say this was a good looking dump to begin with. But I like the changes you have made so far. If I had the $$, this bad boy would have been mine. CONGRATS!!! Please keep us updated, can't wait to see more.

Love the light bar, Aaron. I've been thinking about getting one someday for my truck. Great videos too. Seems like a smooth running truck!

I am glad you are enjoying the truck Aaron. You are doing a great job of making it your own with the custom touches.

Ok time to blow the dust off this one as I am finally finding some time to get back to working on stuff after the move. Luckily this truck didn't get damaged in the move so I decided to start doing some of the things I had planned to do. After giving the truck a good cleaning as it was still dirty from the Kansas show I re polished the front super single rims from Steve and finally added my visor I got months ago. Still have many things planned for it but I figured id show ya how the new visor looks.





Few more things yet to do to it. Whatcha think? Better?

Looks awesome glad to see you didn't sell this rig. You have such a great cabover combo, I'd hate to see them split up!

Yes a pup is one of the plans for this truck. I already have an 8 channel receiver in it so I have 2 open channels at the moment perfect for the trailer to use. not sure on how ill get the lights to run thru from the truck to trailer but ill come up with something. If you look at Travis's other cabover dump he made (the first one) he had a pup for it as well. So he'll be able to help me with this one since he is the original builder of this truck too.
