Possibly the two sheets of MDF on the left side and not the right? Depends on how you look at it.

Monday, November 10, 2008 - 15:09 GMT Yea were going to put an alt on it and its only a 2000 model but we will have plenty of battery back up.The reason we didn't build further back is we didnt want to mess with the wheel wells,and after the batteries and amp rack are in it will almost be to the end of them.giving us a little space to store tools batt charger etc.

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - 07:30 GMT i really hope u plan on bagging it or at least some shock upgrades. cause that thing looks like it's gonna be hurting. thanks for the info nick v and cory, i didn't realize it was 2000 model. none the less i'm really impressed how it all came together so fast, looks like it will be a fun toy and demo truck. hook a pa system up to it that be a nice tool at hand for some annoying drivers.

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - 15:42 GMT Once we get all the weight in it were going to look in to some helper springs depending on what we need. I doubt we do bags even though it did cross our minds.It has a payload of 2400 so were going to be right on top of that give or take a few hundred.
