Top work Trailer will be carrying a 40 foot container. I still have one side to cut out and add in. There is photos of it sitting on the trailer earlier in the build diary. :) Look at replies 27, 33 and 35. :)

I didn`t realise until recently how much I rely on internet until my broadband went down for nearly two days. Especially when it coincided with the app issues on android phones. Thankfully with some assistance all is now sorted. Hope you get everything back on track soon as I really enjoy this build.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Looking good Anthony. I really like the look of those wheel rims with their 'spoked' design. Most trucks usually have quite sturdy, more solid wheel rims as I recall, but these spoked ones bring a bit more elegance to what is already a fantastic looking truck?
Well done.

Btw that is the back of the wheel you are looking at, they are a bit different on the front. :)

I now have a 1/10 scale r/c winch for the truck, but need to work out how to mount it on the back of the truck.

I'm sure you'll work it out and it will be amazing.

Yeah, sure you'll work it out Anthony, "where there's a will, there's a way" as they say?!
Looks great with those extra lights too, very well done!

Thanks. I have been thinking of rearranging the lights and moving them to the two lower bars. So two of them would be aux fog lights and the other two would be aux driving lights.

Sounds like a valid idea Anthony.
Though I know nothing about the arrangement of auxiliary lights on an Australian truck, I'd imagine that having them nearer the road would help illuminate it better and even more so in fog? If the fog lights were too high they'd just illuminate the fog and create a sort of 'white-out' effect that would leave the driver being able to see very little, so yeah, might make more sense to have them lower?
I look forward to seeing what you do with the arrangement Anthony.

Bought some ball bearings for the truck and they will be retrofitted to the truck after Christmas sometime.
