|  8x8 project
I wanted something different again, but what?? I started gathering parts, and this roller emerged from the dust  Still a work in progress, no rush, I work on this when I get tired of my other 6x6's TLT axles Semi rails Leaf springs on all corners R2 trans 8 Alu Hummer beadlocks 1.9 Mil Spec tires Custom cab Dual steering front axles Finding a unique cab was a problem.... So I decided a custom modified cab is what this roller needed I started with this  Then some mildly calculated cuts   Started adding some styrene    The windshield opening is fixed, next are the side windows   Time to stretch the cab  Just a little different (bought an extra cab just in case...)   Next was to tackle the flares & interior   ...???....     Still plenty to do---One step at a time Something like this--- Still undecided if I want a bed on back or keep it a prime mover. Plenty of time to figure it out though  |

Big rig, really big!!! Anything you throw on the rear will work, a bed or not. The business is up front and looks killer. Keep up the good work. Following.  |
