[TRUKTOR]

The install is very easy, but there are a couple of things to do. On my truck,
which does not have the cab lift, I had to trim the bottom margin, and then
later, without beer and WITH powertools, trim the two sides to line up with the sheetmetal of the cab.Because of the hydraulic hard lines, I (well, Chris, Gerber and I ) had to cut some mouse holes for them to clear. They look good now, but I'm going to open them up a little more, left to right, to have a little more wiggle room.
On a lifted truck, like Toby's U2450L no trimming is necessary.The full depth of the grill fits right in.
The UHN series have a different motor, and a different radiator, which sits a little more towards the center of the truck. This frees up space for the grill latch on the driver's side. On my truck, things are a little tight there, so I might have to remove the radiator in order to get the latch in...or maybe go to something else altogether.
The whole grill set-up with the new hood and the hardware ran about $3K,
but that was over a year ago...with the Dollar's relentless slide downward,
it would be closer to $4K now....

It does update the truck and make it look like the current ones, but the main gain, besides the vanity of it, is that it provides more room for an intercooler. The UHN's put the intercooler on the centerline, not in front of the radiator, and I might go that route, depending on the IC, blah blah blah.

The trophy truck is Alan Pflueger's "NEW, STATE-of-the ART" Trevor Harris
designed deal. It is different than the current batch, in that it has an independent Rear end with (I think) plunging axles. It is also the only
TT to run the OHLENS shocks.WELL, after a year of development and racing
it never won, and usually didn't finish. He was pushing to raise the bar and
take trophy trucks to the next level, and, in theory, 4 wheel independent suspension is preferable to a solid rear axle/4-link system.
ANYWAY, the story goes that after tons of work and tons of money ( $1.5 million, it is said...), it is now being used as a display truck for a wheel company, and is for sale at the bargain price of $350K....

Nice try...NEXT????
