I know some of you will say it needs larger tires, but he wanted the same wheels and tires I have, as he likes them so much. As far as scale goes, I think they look closer to the real deal anyways, but that's just me. I did put my Rock Beasts on it for him (like I did my Harley Truck), but he did not like the look, and I had to agree, they were just too big and ruined the look of the whole build.
The truck sits extra high because that is what he was going for, a mean, extreme, Quad Cab meant for some serious off roading. Plus, I believe he has plans to pull a trailer, and I had to make the hitch meet the height of his trailer (which has offroad wheels & tires on it as well, so it sits fairly high).
Anyways, I hope he enjoys this truck as much as I have building it. It was a ton of fun seeing it come together, and knowing I built it myself, not to mention its something that is most likely a one off, in many ways. As I've said before, this is the best part for me, building them, creating custom parts, and making things work that weren't meant to. And ending up with something that's even just a little different than what others have done, makes it even better.
I have to admit, I had some serious separation issues with this truck over the last few days, as it was very hard boxing it all up and dropping it off at FedEx after all the time I'd put into creating it...tracking down what parts we needed...all the hours just staring at it, trying to figure out what would work best, look best, and how to make something work, or what custom part I needed to make next, etc. But, I know the truck will be enjoyed, and I'd do it all over again if given the chance! I had my fun with it during the building process, so now its time for him to enjoy it for what it was built for. This is one of my favorite hobbies, and its a lot of fun! Now its time to get back to my other projects
