I've been working with Michael and Vinny @ Randal for a couple of months, and these should be in my hands next week:
It's hard to tell from the photo, but those are matte white powdercoated Randal 180s. The paint is an heavy-duty version that's typically used on engines and the like. |

| Hmmm interesting. White looks good. Did Randal beef up the pivot cup on the baseplate? They looked a little weak for a possible impact point. |

| Most of the changes to the pivot-area of the baseplate took place before Gravity purchased Randal. There have been some small mods made since then, but most of them were to the hanger. |

First batch came today. Really nice finish, IMO. According to Breamo, the powdercoater used a thicker, heavy-duty finish that's normally used on engines and the like.

I am confused why these Aryan trucks have that treatment to the kingpins??! This is so offensive.  |
