The tires will dry rot before you get to run it! [emoji2957]

HA! That could happen. Just means I have an excuse to get new tires. "thumbsup"

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Almost there!

Got the interior pretty much done, painted the rig up and reassembled everything. Decided to go with CAT yellow and I think it came out pretty well.

I need to add some more scale accessories and lay down the traction strips to the bed deck so rigs don't just slide off the slick ABS surface. I'm thinking I'll build some storage boxes that mount to the frame between the second and third axles.

Got some pics below. Dropped my trx4 on the bed for a size comparison. Also have a pic of my original cardboard mockup of that cab compared to the finished product. Not too bad.

Raining like crazy today so I'll have to wait for a better day to get it outside.

Nice.

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Made a couple changes. Added a sound module and changed up the tires/wheels.

The sound module works reasonably well but I think I have the volume set too low.

I like the new tires and wheels much better. Plus they are slightly large and I think the proportions are better.

Took a short video in the basement and a couple pics.

WOW Jeb, that turned out nice, great skills "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Great looking build.

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Thanks. It has been a long journey but I do like how it came out. I started working on storage boxes that will ride between the 2nd and 3rd axles. Once I add those I have just a couple accessories and then I'll call it done.

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Absolutely love it! Creative fabwork and the end result looks great! New wheels and tires make the rig imo.

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Thanks. I agree the wheel & tire change did wonders for the overall look.

I was able to build the storage boxes on both sides. They do open and are held closed with magnets.



I realized today I never tested out the full bed and winch combo to see if it could drag and load a rig. Decided to experiment with my fairly heavy twin hammers trailer rig. Everything worked as it should.

Love it, so many things going on with it and cool little additions. Job done well

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Simply WOW :)

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Thanks guys. This was a long but fun built. I need to get some video of it in motion. Very cool watching 5 separate axles articulate on rough terrain!

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

I bet it is, I’ve watched some multi axle builds on YouTube and they are definitely interesting to see how they perform

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Top 10 Most badassed builds on RCC. Well done sir!

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

what transfer cases did you use on this? you stated they was china ones but for what truck?

Re: Jebster's 10x10 HEMTT rollback hauler
 

Agreed. One of the reasons I like building these types of rigs.

Thanks for the compliment. I still feel my builds pale in comparison to some of the awesome builds on this forum.

I don't think they are for a specific truck. Here is a link to the same one as that I used. https://www.ebay.com/itm/292803759594
