[CrimsonCorsair]

I like the steps. They really add to the look!

[Espeefan]

Russ does a great job on those steps. If I may offer my 2 cents of advice - I'd suggest raising the headache rack up higher, so that it's top is level with the top of the cab roof. Otherwise, it's looking great.

[DuelTruckDriver]

Wow man, really clean build! I agree the headache rack looks awesome.:) >Marty<

[Izzy]

Nice setup.....

[trucker n]

thanks for the compliments guys just need my pipes from john and my wheels from steve:D

[BRICKNICK]

Hey truckers I really like the finished product, steves wheels will really finish it off. I think you really nailed the working beauty look, I think there is some little things to add to the consistence of the truck, I just did to mine and it really add to the realisim. You should black out the wipers, and do a little Chrome trim around the windshield and doors, I used a Chrome paint marker. It looks more like brushed aluminum finish instead of chrome. If you'd like I can show you a pic of mine, just a suggestion. Overall the truck looks good.

[trucker n]

hey bricknick i would like to see a pic and where did you get the marker you used:D

[sneaky-pete]

That truck is awsome!:D.
I love the color,and it has a nice stance.

[trucker n]

thanks troy i just wish i could paint as good as you:D

[BRICKNICK]

Hey trucker, sorry it took so long and sorry about the crappy pics....heres the "windshield molding". I used a sharpie brand Sharp silver paint marker I bought at my local arts and crafts store, A.C. Moore.

[trucker n]

[BRICKNICK]

[Roadmasters]

Looks sweet, great color choice

[Lil Giants]

Lookin good Neil. :cool:

How do you find the axle flex with the new air ride?

[trucker n]

have not drove it yet but as far as weight carring i put some losi mini rockcrawler springs inside and it will carry alot more than stock:D

[Claus]

Looks good, just curious why you have the remains of the old suspension side plate? That's got to go, doesn't do your painted frame and custom parts any justice. Love all the polished aluminum in your build.

[trucker n]

thats not the side plate where i took the plate of now i have to paint;)

[Claus]

It will look great after you repaint but what a kick in the paints in the mean time.

[Espeefan]

Wow, that's a huge transformation! I can't believe the difference in changes. I remember when you used to go mud bogging with this truck, and now it looks more like a show truck. Hopefully you keep it on the high and dry roads now. Russ's suspension looks awesome on there. Just repaint the frame rails and you'll be good to go!

[Brian in PA]

The suspension upgrade looks good!

Brian

[russisloud]

looking good!!


kind of looks like you need some shorter springs or dose it level out when you have the trailer on?

[trucker n]

could be a tad shorter but it would bottom out when i have my excavator on the trailer;)

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Great looking Transformation you did here you should be proud of your work for sure..

[Diesel Demond]

nice clean and mean looking! i would be proud to own it thats forsure

[Snowman]

Wow looks great with the suspension, can't wait to get mine now :)

[BRICKNICK]

The truck is a night and day difference from the old version, looks really good man, nice job.

[cabrover]

Looks Great Very clean

[SWAGGER]

Incredible transformation trucker, she's blingin' now!

[sneaky-pete]

Killer joblove the color.
Steves wheels make a huge difference.

[Espeefan]

That's awesome. I can't believe the transformation that took place. Now it's looking more like a show truck. I'm guess you're not exactly going to be taking it off road through the soup now, like before? I think the biggest improvement is the front fenders and lights. That screams Peterbilt.

[CustomClod]

Sweet ride. Very nice before and even nicer after! Great work
