truckbuilder42 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Hey guys, I am starting on my IH 4300 Eagle, it is the last kit i'll have time for before I get deployed to Afghanistan, I would like to get some ideas and tips for the build, so far I am thinking just a day cab heavy hauler, any input, and tips welcome, thanks guys! Kyle
highway Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I like the idea of the day cab heavy hauler, Kyle. Thank you for your service to our country! I wish you well on your deployment and stay safe over there.

379_pete Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Sounds Like a good build man cant wait to check her out
ARTEMIS1759 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Keep your head down over there. Just got back from Kosovo. Not much of a deployment. I would go Heavy hauler day cab route. You can email me at ARTEMIS1759@yahoo.com or if you are on facebook my login is ARTEMIS1759 or Terry Bender if you want or need to talk.
Guest Johnny Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 The 4300 is a great choice for a heavy hauler! Thank you for your service to the Country Kyle! Hopefully it will not be a long deployment! Be sure and watch your 6! But you are among the Nations best and I know you all have each others!
truckbuilder42 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 hey guys, sorry i haven't had alot of time to work on the truck or update you all, i've been speding time with family and friends. take care kyle
whale392 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Keep a sharp eye, a full clip, and razors edge aim. Only way to come back from the sandbox. As to the truck idea; Daycab, 3rd drop axle, headache rack, and a lowboy trailer!
CDA Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Like the sound of the pusher axle! You and yer guys be safe! I'm headed that way in Nov some time also. Plan on takin on of my kits to work on to keep me occupied!
truckbuilder42 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Posted October 30, 2010 Hey guys, sorry I didn't get the truck finished, see you all in 7 months, take care!! Kyle

Kyle If I were in your boots the thought of even building a model wouldn't exist prior to deployment. Stay focused,do your job and come on home.
crazyjim Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Hopefully your tour will pass quickly and you'll come home safe and sound. Thank you for serving our country.
