Because the truck has to function properly,I've improved the rear shocks to handle the extra weight.

The old ones weren't shock absorbers at all, were pretty and scale but there was no o-rings on the shaft so they couldn't hold the oil.

So , found these 60mm shocks for cheap and took the springs out and filled with 1000 oil(yes, 1000 diff oil works well in these):

Got the hitch from eBay, some M2 scale bolts and printed the frame around it

Don't mind the rust. It's almost ready to be painted
