kilrathy10 Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I've finally finished this thing... This was a pretty fun build, as I was able to add a few things that I always felt needed to be... I extended the frame to add a tag axle, Moebius wheels and tires, homemade light bars, and of course, painted it orange.... ? There a few more mods, but those are the main ones.... I plan on building all three of the AMT released versions of this truck... Here's the first... Edited November 10, 2020 by kilrathy10
shoopdog Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 WOW! This is just an amazing rig, great job!
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Awesome looking rig JT!! I like the extra axle, the new mirrors, the wheels, and the color really looks great! Great work!!! That thing really has some reach too!
Mopar - D Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Awesome build JT looking forward to seeing it in person.
extmcdriver Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Excellent as always JT. Now you have me working on fire fighting equipment. The orange looks fantastic!
Jim B Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Looks really nice, JT. I like your set-up. Just a small note on your chock blocks: you should have them on both front tires, but not touching the tires. In reality, the outriggers will lift the weight off the rear tires. Just a little help.
vincen47 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Nice job. This is what AMT should have done with the kit!
GLMFAA1 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Nice rig, Just some wonderings: orange basket instead of black, or mixed black/orange one, do you plan on taillights, You can use clear tubing on the cylinder rams to keep the booms extended, just slice it down one side and slip it on the ram. with this color combo what is the ladder going to be? greg
kilrathy10 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Thanks, Guys... I appreciate all the comments and input... This was a bit of a departure from the norm, for me... 2 hours ago, GLMFAA1 said: Nice rig, Just some wonderings: orange basket instead of black, or mixed black/orange one, do you plan on taillights, You can use clear tubing on the cylinder rams to keep the booms extended, just slice it down one side and slip it on the ram. with this color combo what is the ladder going to be? greg Yeah... I kind of forgot about the rear arrow tail lights... I have to add them along with painting the fronts... And, I really like the clear tubing idea... I will definitely give that one a shot... Thanks... I'll post pics after I do.... 10 hours ago, Jim B said: Looks really nice, JT. I like your set-up.

Thanks for the tip on the chocks... I was wondering about weather or not the outriggers would do that... I have taken note... Glad to have some guys that know something about fire apparatus.... Beyond what I see around town, I know nothing about these things... ?
TECHMAN Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 ??? That is one impressive build!!!! Can't wait to see the other two!!! DJ
leafsprings Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Super impressive build! All the details and modifications really bring out the best in the classic ALF. The color actually looks very close to the color used on equipment in the old Emergency TV series. Maybe you have some L. A. County decals in the works?
gatorincebu Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 J T , That is awesome. You've done a ja up job on this one . I like the details you added as well ! Be Well , Marc AKA Gator
gotnitro? Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Very nice work!!! Right down to the signature orange paint

Just check the WIP posts for ALF Fire Chief... Currently on page 3, but here is one of them... Very simple mods using what I had on hand... Mostly for strength... Edited January 9, 2021 by kilrathy10

Bronzekeg Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 you did a great job putting this together and love the mods. you need to jump in the 2021 brbo. you have great scratch and modifying skills.
Dutzie Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Nice job! The rig looks great. I really like the improvements you’ve made.
