Looks like a spaceship. What’s the spiral pipe thingy?

A hookah maybe!

air line to blow the cab out .... must have an on board compressor stashed some where

Just looked more closely at that pic, alcantara retrim, leds, upgraded speakers etc

It’s the machine of a lad I’ve met out over there, and spoke quite a bit with over other social media platforms, will try and get a walk round video up

There usually bit in the tool box in the under carriage, out of the way, there’s also an air line/electric reel to the left of the cab.

So I take it the “alcantara trim” is something that you just basically stick over the the original dashboard then?

Certainly, most impressive.

but how do they get the air up through the rotary coupling I wonder if it's 'down stairs'

Have never understood the mentality of 'blinging up' vehicles like that though Chris ... it doesn't make them 'any better' a machine ... the functional extras yes, I can well see the point in spending on them, but spending thousands 'pimping' it ... pointless and valueless when it comes time to check it in for a newer model,
taking a pride in keeping your machine clean .. fine ... If I had a new one I'd want to try and keep it looking like when it arrived, but can't begin to imagine what all that 'pimping' cost ... with no real world return

Well if you was going to hire a machine and one turned up like this one and another that wa exactly the same spec but was just another machine which would you like working on your site
It’s all about image and getting seen out there

Atleast if someone’s prepared to spend time and usually their own money blinging kit up, you know they’re not likely to abuse it.

There Swedes, anything is possible with them, it could be quite possible that it’s is on top, if that’s what it is, but not a lot of spare room in those.

Well it depends how you look at it Gra, if it didn’t pay to do it,it wouldn’t be done, a lot easy to by something that’s already done and dusted than trying from scratch to do all the work to them. The vast majority of the machines out there seem to be like that, and some stunning examples as well, tracks as well, so there’s got to be something in it....As for there trucks, that agin is on another level all together...and as Mog said, image is a massive thing know on sites, you got something a bit different, your going to get noticed......might have to “pimp” that trailer you bought off me

Here you are Gra

Love the way they do up their machines out there!
Correct me if I'm wrong Ollie, didn't this crowd buy Craig Bells old Volvo duck... I remember him telling me how much they spent on it after buying it ( cant remember the figure) but it was a crazy price.
