Trailer - challenge truck build

fek me they sprayed everything in sight:jaw:

Whats the plan for that pile of red stuff now then?!

you tractor boys like to paint everything whilst still assembled dontcha?!?!

Yeah, those wheels and tyres look awful now they're painted .. they might even react with the paint!

Tell you what, I'll pop over shortly, £24 for all four and I'll take 'em off your hands, can't say fairer ...

Haha nice try but it's mostly dust and mist barely touched at all really all came off on the drive back, it's all getting plenty of coats of black now to protect any paint left on the tyres won't last very long when it gets dragged through some mud

Looks good
See if you can remember how to put it all back together, without extra nutz and bolts left over lol
