True. However, you might not want to chop them up. The parts supply for these trucks won't last forever, and you may be able to sell the axles in the future for a decent sum if you no longer want the trailer.

Sounds like a plan 8-) I've actually had the same type of idea rolling around in my head since I bought my truck.. My idea was a little more extreme though. It would be a powered trailer, using the 6CTA engine and trans from the A2 donor truck :twisted: That would definitely solve the issue of...

Looks great man :goodjob:

Sweet 8) Congrats! :)

Very cool pics.. Thank you 8)

Good times....
