Sorry for lack of posts been very busy juggling work and getting the Rogers ready for armour & embarkation in a few weeks. Trailer is know basically finished just stencils to apply, truck needs a few little jobs like re connect near side fuel tank. Been out road testing this morning and everything is playing ball so far odd break getting warm on the trailer but they need more running time to bed in.
