Is this going to be a tow rig with a trailer or more of a tow truck with a boom and stuff?

this its going to be my tow rig. both bumper pull and fifth wheel. i spent some time today fitting the dinky summit mount and links. i may have to grab some all thread and make some custom links to finish it up proper. the front axial frame bumper holes match up to the body holes, thinking of making a removable winch mount. I'm also working on fitting the rear frame under the rear bumper. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk Last edited by TwistedXT; 02-03-2012 at 08:51 PM. |

I'm thinking of using this dark grey metallic that tamiya makes. it flaky matches a factory gmc color. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk |
