Looks good. :U:

Nice looking truck.

What does your hopper look like right now? I'd say don't paint it to match...personal experience, all our trailers are painted to match and when we pull one with a different tractor it looks really friggin' stupid. :D

Very nice! :U:

Im with Mr. Miyagi. It would look awesome behind that tractor, but not so much behind another one. Truck looks awesome

It is white. We are thinking about just getting a black one for this truck and putting the white one on our freightshaker.

All black would look good with that tractor.

All black or all white.....goes with anything. :U:

It will be on the road tomorrow hauling corn.

we've had alot of good comments at the grain elevator the last 2 days.

It kind of depends, if thats the only truck thats going to pull it, obsolutly! But all black would still be a great choice.

Beautiful truck by the way. Need to get those pictures bigger! Anything done to the interior?

man I'd love to have a truck just like that!

Truck looks awesome!

I think matching trailers are awesome but only if the matching trailer only gets pulled by the one truck. I'd paint it for sure unless you have more than one truck that will pull the trailer.

I'm gonna jump on the wagon of goin with an all black trailer. It's ya'll's truck and this is just my opinion but I've never liked them double hump fenders. Damn good lookin truck over all though.:U:

wt_offroad 11-10-2009 12:08 AM

Looks great! lower fenders over the steer tires and a bigger bumper would have really set off the front. jmo great job!

blkjack 11-14-2009 02:59 PM

you can't really lower the front fenders unless we put on a different set. We can't go any bigger with the bumper other wise we will rip it off pulling in and out of the fields.

even being bigger and heavier than our freightliner fld120 it does better on fuel.
