2 TC members caused my infection for such models. the second part of JORO and doubleM. i once found a 8x4 truck at ebay, but my friend robert won the auction. but he lost his interest in that truck and luckily he sold it to me. i now searched a long time for the right trough for my 8x4 dumper. i think it has to be as a8x4 cause there is really not enough space for a 8x8. but first i have to realize the function of the trough. not with hydaulic, just with gears. i also have to strengthen the side walls, cause some guys are using real heavy stones and it should stand all possibilities of weight. i will make some more pics in the next future. i also have to go on with my aluminium semi trailer dumper. and i have to build a 6x6 VOLVO to carry that semi trailer. boy oh boy. so many things to do. good bless i am divorced, or is that why i am ? :) :) Ok i forgot to tell something where i took the trough from. it was on a children toy from a germna manufacturer called BRUDER. i bought me 2 models, took both cut them and glued them togehter. next step is, mounting an aluminium bed inside to strengthen the floor and even the sidewalls for heavy weigths. at least it should stand 8 or 9 kilogram ( about 18 pounds )


here are both dumpers side by side
