The front bumper is fully brazed...











The back of the cab needs to be lifted in the frame, and so does the box, thats why there is such a huge gap between them...

the keys are cool. i thought of doing keys with a working switch (power switch). your remote gave me idea of pulling a car alarm on my rig with blinking led on the dash.

Looking really good. I must have missed this somehow. But I read it all last night. Great work on all the styrene! I love working with it. Almost more fun to make your own stuff. Plus you can detail it much better.

I do have to mention one thing that bothers me - your beadlock idea. Those styrene screws will be ripping out left and right the first time you come against a rock. If anything, make the ring out of steel and then use brass for the bolts.

About the beadlocks they are fake, and i will be getting someone like CAC, or mayham or someone else to make me a pair of beadlocks...

So if anyone can make these rims please let me know...
