DAYUM SON!! LOL

Looks like a WD hitch is needed , along with airbags.

If you had a longer trailer you could have put the truck further back to help out a bit!

How was that 160 mile trip? A lil nerve racking?

For real it drove good believe it or not. Should of turned the truck around like I did with the HD. Helped distribute the load.

I thought the HD needed some air bags too after seeing the pics of your wood hauling days.

Naa, they don't build the suspensions on these trucks like they did in the '70's. Too bad they didn't come from the factory with air bags

Finally getting around to work on the KR. Got it basically together other some odd and ends. Front bumper is just hanging there because I painted it the green instead of the Arizona beige. And the reason is because I put an 08 rear bumper and it's pad is black. Just wanting some feedback from all of you and tell me if the green is or or should I shoot it the beige.

I'm partial to the AZ Beige but not a big fan of two tone (which is funny coming from me since mine looks like a shotgun shell)

Yea I agree with you all. Looks better imo. Drove it a couple of miles and there is a vibration or something, feels like a square tire. Guess I will look into that Friday.

Well got the windshield put in this morning and the mirror I got from Josh painted and put on. Did a few odd and ends on it and she is about 95% done.

Yup yup. Thanks. I really need to do a video on it because this things runs like no other. My Harley edition has studs and tunes from matt and this thing makes it look like a moped.
