TF2 Class 1 Flatbed Build

[ElChupacabra]

Did a real quick and dirty photoshop of the graphics I'm considering for the doors and hood. I have a vinyl cutter so I can cut all the crazy masks I want. Truck has a Forest Service feel to it so I made a quick generic Forestry & Wildlife logo.



Good? Bad? Chime in....

Looks like a good fit for a theme, I like it. It's going to be a great build. Also like the bumper, got the same thing on mine, even though it's not completely built yet.

Build coming along nicely like the bed

New parts showed up. First was the RC4WD winch. I went for the big boy winch since there isn't much room to stick a servo winch in this rig. I paid the price though. It was too big and didn't fit with the body. It sat too far back and the body wouldn't go on. I had to fab a new bottom mount plate for the winch that move it forward on the bumper. Not a huge deal but extra work. Doing and then undoing a bunch of tedious M2 hardware sucks....




The new RC4WD Hi-Lift jack also showed up. It was always my plan to have this mounted to mask the bed mounting screws. The screws go through the jack, through the bed, and through the rear crossmember. Holds everything together nicely and looks the part doing it.



I really need to clean my workbench. I have 4 builds going right now and it's becoming a nightmare...
