I just finished building this set. The ocd in me hates it when the half pin with stud is used to hold the flames. I can't keep the flames aligned on the hood and rear. Why won't Lego make a friction pin with stud? -
[TC18] Jeep Wrangler JL

As an owner of a real Jeep JLU, I'm loving this entry. Keep up the good work! -
Just finished base in 1st set of bags, and I have 5 black pins left over. Anyone else?
-
At this point, I would be happy with either lol. I only said 19 because that's what covers the dually wheels on most trucks I have.
-
You have a good point. Even the Arocs truck is 17 studs wide. Thank you.

Hey guys, I'm looking to see if anyone wants a challenge. I want to build an 2009 International flatbed truck. My problem is I am great with functions, but I stink at looks. I drive this truck for work, making deliveries of steel to the job sites. Here is a picture of the same model truck I drive for work: What I need: The hood, grill, bumper, cab design. Scale: I want it to be to scale with the 42009 mobile crane using the same wheels. I plan on making the bed either 19 or 21 studs wide. Design: I would love it to be mostly Technic. A similar design like the 42078 Mack Anthem truck, but I'm open to anything. So, who wants to accept my challenge? I know sometimes people want a direction for their next project, so maybe this is the boost you need. Glenn

Thank you for the pictures. Looks slightly larger scale, but that's ok for Lego. Definitely a buy for me. I deliver steel to job sights, and see these cranes all the time.
-
Hello Jim. Any chance you could take a picture of this next to the 42009 crane or 42043 Arocs? Would like to see a size comparison. Thanks!

I went through all the posts and can't find either the pictures or who to ask for them. Can someone fill me in? Thank you. -

Able to pick up 42070 for $195 and 42069 for $137 last night. Thanks for the tip! I wasn't going to get them, but at that discount I couldn't say no. Glenn -
The hitch is a simple design. Used pins with stops for easy removal. Glenn

My mods are low for now, but looking for inspiration. Black Claas Xerion 5000: With B model silage plow: Also, I ran a pneumatic hose through the chassis, so I can add a pump on 1 side, and an attachment on the other: My first attachment, a disc with fold able sides and lowering transport wheels: I was going to have a pto driven pump, but the stock pto rotates too slow. Plus, did not want to run pto driven attachments and the pump at the same time. Glenn
-
There was my problem. I was using the ones with the "x". Thank you.
-
How did you get the wheel hubs to attach? Very nice model by the way. Glenn
