I know I keep referring to motorcycles, but that's what these bikes are mimmicking. That fire engine is slick...with slicks! He'll love that!

Yes back in the day I had built a chopper bike. I cut the house builders scaffold polls off that had the holes drilled for wheels. I hammered them on to mine and rode the crap out of it. It was crazy high but after riding it a while every kid in the hood was doing it!
I worked on the stroller some today to. Pretty happy with it so far.
My son came over and he suggested I cut my hand trucks up and use it as the handles. I told him he was crazy.
Then I remembered I had a old set that would fold up and well needless to say I walked up to him and hugged him!
I also got the floor installed and rubber mat for him to be comfy when riding.Going to add a seatbelt for him also.
I painted the front end and tomorrow hopefully get it all trimed out. Yellow park lights head lights and black to high light it.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!
LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
