ahhh, the old guilt trip. hey, no problem solving it with another build. looks good. I'm a mopar guy, but I wouldn't mind this truck either.
here is a little trick for you, hope you don't mind (I hate to be "that guy") but it looks like your 4x4 had a rough day on the wheel bearings. when gluing your wheel on, if they don't sit square, it really detracts from what is a really nice build. you have to work fairly quickly, but glue all 4 of the wheels on and them set the truck on the tires. like up a book or something flat and align the wheel up so they are straight with the book and the truck. let them dry in place. the books will keep the tires from bowing from the weight of the truck and they wont sag at all. you will end up with nice straight wheels. hope you don't mind me telling you this. just helping out

I did that setting it down for the picture. The inner piece for the tire backing came loose an caused the tire to pop off. I tried to pop it back on, but decided to take the picture as was since I wanted to get the pictures while I could. I work a busy schedule right now and it's hard to do things like this anymore. Had to re glue it back on, but I fixed it.
