I have to admit I have been playing a bit of catch up today, as I have not been too well of late... Whistle

Some more planned for tomorrow, but the build is still going strong and, dare I say, looking a total mess just now... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

Thanks Griff... Rolling Eyes

Just two a bit out of sequence though, as I mentioned, I am playing catch up... Thumbs Up

Anyway - Opted for Olde English White as the contrasting colour, although there is not a huge difference between it and Limestone and having seen them side by side in different lights, my personal preference with the Keswick is OEW... Mr. Green

And, I wonder if you guessed right Pete... Whistle

I seriously pontificated for far too long on the question of wheels (and colour) for this Special build... Rolling Eyes

Original choices were between the popular, but all too common, in my view, Sawtooth style, or more traditional Heavy Duty Wolf style... Big Cry

And so it went on, day after day, week after week, until I decided, I thought, on HD Wolf style, with the colour to match the roof (which was a whole other story on pontification... Rolling with laughter )... Cool

Anyway, these Challengers were then entered into the fray and, as I was interested in a set of Mach 5s a while back, for Mamba, I made the decision, rightly or wrongly, to go for these...

Although, if I don't get on with them, I shall have no hesitation to switch to HD Wolf style in due course... Laughing

Tyres are the new BFG AT K02 with lettering inside! Apart from being my personal preference, the mix of BFG White and OEW just wouldn't work imhgo... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

That's a great looking truck, really like the OEW contrast roof and will be good to see the wheels fitted to see how they look.

One question though, as you have gone for the premium leather option shouldn't your cubby box have the padded leather lid fitted as part of the option?
Here's a picture of mine to show what I mean.

Indeedy it should, and it will... Wink

Now, the last time I visited UT was rather traumatic, as I was faced with a rather gory sight... Shocked

And I don't mean Dave (?) the mastermind at (ex)LandyGlass, who was responsible for the enormous orifice in my brand new truck... Big Cry

It will be alright in the end, won't it... Confused

There have also been one or two subtle amendments, to the nose of my new baby, in the shape of LED fittings...

And now with a slightly changed snout...

^ ^ ^ Observe and remember how the side panels used to look originally... Whistle

Although there is still a little work to go on the front end...

And the Windows and Wheels seem to have magically appeared on the truck as well... Mr. Green
