Hey Brian,

You can't post your photos directly from your computer to the forum, you need to have another website store your photos, so they can be posted on the forum.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to a free photo hosting site such as Photobucket or Flickr

2. Once you've made an account, you'll be able to upload your photos from your computer. Simply click the 'upload' or 'browse' button and your folders will appear and you can select which photos you want to upload.

3. After you uploaded the pictures, there should be a bunch of links with the photos, choose the one that has the IMG letters at the front and the back of the link.

4. Come back and post the IMG link into your post to display your photos.

Hope that helps! (I only offered the help since you're a fellow Kenworth driver! haha!)

yes the truck has a C-15 550hp with a 18 speed and 3:91 gears in the rears. The biggest machine we have a Cat 345 BL but we have Cat 320 DL and a JD 160c and a Cat D6M dozer and a new Cat D6K for fine grading

EXCELLENT job on that KW. I like the two tone. Do not see a lot of low boy tractors with paint jobs like that. What make of lowboy is that you are pulling?Thanks for posting the pics.

Brian, You have done a very nice job on this T800!! That is about the shortest wheel-base tractor I have seen. You must be right at a 9 foot spread, eh? Will you be adding a head-ache rack/cab protector? Good thing you do not have to have a DEF tank. HA!
Another question, will you be running just a single tire on the rear axle of the trailer??? If you are running with a permit, you are cutting yourself short, I would think. Thanks again for posting pictures. DanielD

Very nice truck!

Nothing runs like a deere with a cat on its back but the link belt ate both of them

Daniel the pics of the lowboy were just after paint the white steel wheels you seen are the inside wheels and I mounted the tires on new aluminum wheels for the outside. You have a good eye also I set the lift at 9 feet 1 inch just to be safe. The make of the Lowboy is a Towmaster 55 ton 3 axle + 1 flip axle. I am really excited to get the trailer hooked up to the truck and take some pics. We have a tri axle dump truck with the same paint job and a matching pup that I have to get some pics of to post. The plan is to get a triple ten train to pull with it thats why I shortened it up to 190" wheel base. Again thanks for all the compliments on the truck I am very proud of it!
