    I'm not a big Binder fan, except 9670 & 9800's..
    Tug Toy is the exception, his 9200i looks darn fine. But he's put alot of work, & sweat into that machine!

    But nah, if I was going to knowingly buy something that needs engine work, full interior & not ready to work, it would be a Series 60 powered FLC. Something different & cool to restore.

    Also I'm not sure if I'm a Cat guy.? I don't need the big power of the C15 & I hear the fuel economy isn't that good. I've never run one though, so hearsay. I am slightly interested in the C12's for their compact size, & lightweight. But seems not many folks run them so I haven't gathered any real, or consistent information on them..

    Actually that got me thinking..
    @kwswan
    Did you ever sell your 9400 with the Detroit.?


    Anyone chime in on what a single color paint job might cost?
    9400 with 70" raised roof.

    I see them every day on dump trucks. Drop axles with one single 17.5 per side. Must be legal?

    This honestly probably makes the most sense. So I just have to find the truck before they cut it up, & ask for an extra 2-3 feet.? Then go from there..

    I have 4.10's now, & don't want to give up much. Really like to stay 3.90-4.11, but I might get by 3.73 if I go to lo-pro rubber..

    I like the idea of staying light, & doing a pusher & all. But I may end up in trouble for having the controls in reach, lifting for tolls, cornering, & it just straight driving like crap in inclement weather..

    Cutoff with extra length rails can get me to a reasonable length, one splice, & I'll look semi normal, so maybe Johnny law will leave me be a little more often.. LoL

    @AModelCat I dont know if your a shaker fan at all, but I know you like heavy steers. Instead of going long & low, I also thought about trying to mimic this rig. 203" wheelbase. Short & tall looks pretty darn neat too!!

    Looks like it is a genuine “Alberta Tactical”

    Hence the “AT”15

    Sounds like a coupon built AR-15?

    Why Us?

    To me? Not much. While I like my Glocks, I'm not a fan of composite lowers on AR's.

    C-12? Why not just commit and get an a, b, or c model? I know a guy.... ;)
