Looks great and great upgrades , after 10 years and getting everything just the way we wanted it with our hitchhiker DA we decided it was time for a change and sold it to a guy that got an awesome deal lol . Hope you keep it for a long time and fully enjoy it and the upgrades !

Thanks, Our plan was to keep the older ( 16 ) model, but that didn't work out as planned, let's hope for better luck with this one..

I see firewood in the future so it doesn't happen again.

:B ONE BIG problem.... that FIREWOOD is my neighbors and he does not want to get rid of them...I am still working on it though !

We had the MorRyde IS, discs and bearings installed on ours a year and a half ago. We already had 17.5 wheels. What a great upgrade it has been over the springed axles. We put over 50k miles on the original Dexter axles and they were giving us some issues. Combined with our Trailer Saver BD3 air hitch we get a great ride.

How did the previous Redwood full paint take that?

It took it very well.... 5 years of sitting out and it still looked better than the day I got it...

BUT - I do wax it a lot.... I try for a coat of spray wax each spring, then a full coat of hand wax/buff at some point over the summer.

I sometimes try for a coat of spray wax in the fall as well, but that doesn't happen as much as I would like.

Here is a pic I took before I cleaned it up for the Richmond Race this April.... 2 weeks before it's demise . .

What brand tires did the factory put on it?

They were Goodride... 17.5's.... I believe they took over the Westlake Tire market??
