| Paint time
Well comp time is coming up and I decided the thing was in pretty bad shape and needed some waterproofing. So I tore it down and waterproofed and painted. Should I run with my company logo on the door like a work truck? |

Another fine tundra, congrats on the new rig and glad you wheeling and modding it to your taste. Agree with the others, the logos on the rings are a nice touch. Keep the updates rolling in. Any pics of how the cab and bed are mounted? Cheers T |

| Styrene holds the cab and bed to each other, then they are attached with velcro to chassis.

Did this yesterday. Use a can lid and printed a sticker on my laser printer. It moves if hit by rock and bends like a real plate would. |

Scale comp coming up so I have been wrenching to get ready. :-) Some tow chains and bungee cords. Some rings on the front for towing. Some firewood. I am not sure if this part counts, but I put the spare tire underneath the bed like a real truck would have. This lowers my COG and I think it's a bit more realistic. |

Scale cat5e. I know it's not trail stuff, but it's whats in my 1:1 truck. Junk in the back. My tool box wasn't dry yet so it's not in the pic but it will hold the tow straps. Amsoil dealer sticker. and a spare that is legal. Currently at -33 points as long as the cat5 and monitor count. :-) |

Made a tool box for the tow straps to go in. DOes that count as functional scale item? Its got a metal lid. I just have to find some hinged and magnets to hold it closed. |

Little more done and another package arrived. :-) These little babies will make it go for a while. :-) I cut up a sherbet container and made some front fender wells. They aren't perfect, but you can't see the mistakes. :-) thats another scale point! And then finally I threw on a set of class one tires just to see how it would look. Actually looks like a truck of a guy who lives in my town and owns a boat shop. |

Real happy with how this rig did. I took second at the comp on Sunday. Lets hope I can keep up that trend throughout the season. I have a feeling it was just beginners luck. :-)
