hi all new member from uk here o/
I'm hoping you can all give me advice on building the grand hauler.
I am currently in the buying stage of one, but I would like to know if I should go for a longer chassis.only reason I ask is I would like to get an mtu on it, but I would also like to put a smoke kit on it.
also if there many shops in the uk that sell the Ali parts for them?
any advice would be much greatfull

regards
paul

what colour are you going to paint the rails mate ? have you got a tap and die set as some of the holes have threads in them
