[McFig]

dryvan?

Did you build that? The sides are like a mirror.

[Pete359]

Yes a utility dry van trailer;)

I build it out of scratch.
The sides is painted shiny black, and got real shiny too :omg:

[McFig]

Nice work!

Looks like all you need is a hitch.

Are you going to sticker the sides?

[Pete359]

Will keep the sides shiny black for now.
Waiting for suport legs from down under, then it's ready.

[Pete359]

[McFig]

They look great!

great info in the link too.

[ironman]

NICE !!! Very Nice

[Pete359]

Thanks guys!

[Pete359]

A little video of my pete, when I was testing the snow chains:
http://vimeo.com/2381625

[McFig]

Great video. Snow chains! Very nice, but you only have them on two tires. Why not four?

[Pete359]

What you meen?
On the twin or on the boggie?

Dont got the chain to make more right now, but will buy more soon and make more.
Need some on the front to.

[McFig]

The front? But there is no power going to the front.

I was just thinking that you would want them on the 4 rear tires cause thats where the power goes.

In any case, the chains look great.

[Pete359]

Yes on the front, so I get better steering.
But now I got chains on all of the outer wheels in the rear.

[McFig]

Outter wheels? I thought you switched to the super wheels in the back. You know the ones you made.

[Pete359]

Oh! No no no! Those sits on my other Peterbilt. My "show truck"
This one got stock wheels:

[Pete359]
