pistol pete Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 built one of these a little while ago but sold it. so have started to build one again. still needs bits doing to it cab roof lights a few paint touch ups and rear hitch. can't make up my mind if to fit a front hitch or front wieghts the same as the 2850 has fitted.
