Re: Intro from Malaysia - WR7002 - C304

Looking like you're into the finishing phase... keep going!

Why don't you build yourself a garage so you can work over winter? Then the trailer can go where your truck is. :idea:

Re: Just in case...

I have 3 sets of the high ratio (read 4x4 ratio) for my TGB13 6x6 sitting on the floor in my lounge (where else would you store them).
