Wow! That is spectacular work! To think im slightly over whelmed thinking about making rear fenders for my First Gear T800 KW! That's the motivation I needed! Great work!

I finished up the Rogers lowboy yesterday and took some pics of it today. I was really happy to finish up this build, it had been going on for a while and I was getting pretty burnt out on it haha. I'm very happy with how it turned out. Teeth

Maybe I should have polished it up a bit before taking pics of it in the sun, every little dust speck really stands out lol.

Tool box/storage area, you can see the other set of "trap doors" I have for it. They're a bit longer to adjust the ride height accordingly when I pull it with the T800W.

I might have to paint the mudflaps, they rubber isn't quite black enough compared to the trailer.

Here are a couple pictures of it next to a Sword Rogers lowboy. I didn't like the look of the "Tower of Power" style gooseneck Rogers offers so I went with their direct push design. Sorry about the blurry picture, I didn't notice it until I had already uploaded it to Flickr.

Beautiful work! What did you use to replicate the reflective tape of the back? What wood did you use for the deck boards? Balsa?

Thanks Kyle. It's DOT stripe decals. I got it from a buddy a couple years ago. I couldn't put as much along the sides as I wanted to because I'm about out of it lol. I used basswood for the deck boards, it's pretty much the same thing as balsa.

Thanks guys! I'll have to look in to the ones on the host site. I just wish there was a picture. Maybe I'll find some company decal sets too.

Do you have any more pictures of the truck pulling your new trailer? I love the stacks! Are you planning on a flip axle for the 2axle Rogers?

Yeah I do. Here it is hauling my D6T. I don't think I've seen a 2 axle lowboy with a 3rd that flips. I'll eventually build a one axle booster for it.
