PacificEd Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Do you happen to have any pictures of the underside of the truck? I'd like to see how you installed and detailed the front drive axle and transfer case. Did you have to raise the rear suspension to level out the truck after installing the front drive axle? This truck is perfect. The stance and combination of parts couldn't be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 That’s one mean looking truck. Great weathering and detail. Nice choice in aftermarket tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren D Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Great job, one of the best weathering jobs I've seen yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Beautiful work on the detailing and weathering. if I was to make a suggestion, it would be to chew up the tops of the upper wood pieces. We all know how front loaders bash them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks Bill ! did chew them somewhat I put a piece of real wood up there just for the wear and tear. Thanks for checking me out and the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
