Nice it looks great! Do you have any videos of it? Any plans to add more to the bed?

Lol, any photos of the build itself? Decent looking rig. How does it steer w/out having hydro assist?

**stiluv** · 12-30-2013, 11:06 AM

I will add to the bed when funds allow.

I do have hydro assist. I will post some build pics tonight.

Thanks everyone
