This is turning out better than expected, the shell is basically finished just needing little detailing like the rear lights and think it needs a spade etc, have some winch type cabling to fit somewhere too. And I must get another dirtworks tyre and hobao wheel for the spare (anyone have 1 spare???)
The chassis was stripped down and given a quick coat of satin black and now some YEAH Racing 90mm shocks are fitted (tons better than the TLT ones and cheap, must get some for the 3 speed)
Steve has done a wonderful job extending the bed and producing the cage, front bumper and the sprung clip mechanism (idea taken from tamiya's on merc lorry).
Just need to rewire the esc which is hidden under the bed as is the receiver and the battery is under the cab (access to it thanks to the tilting cab)
Sprung clip for tilt cab

Wow, it looks great. The Dirt Works tires are quite realistic. Needs a little paint yet?

Paint on the rear lights yes, colour on it now is Tamiya Desert Sand with the bumpers, chassis and roll cage, light cage painted in satin black

The overall paint color looks great, yeah, I was just referring to the taillights and maybe the marker lamps.
