The Lumberjack pickup truck has 3 modes: R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Direct). Power from the spring motor is transferred to a set of gears to increase the transmission ratio, through the gearbox and drive shaft, to the differential and rear axle. A start/stop mechanism located on the truck bed allows you to start the truck. Because this is Ugears, and because they love to focus on the small, beautiful details that make a model exceptional, a small pendulum under the seats simulates the rattles of the truck's powerful engine. The bent plywood gives the model sleek lines and 1950s style.
The truck's doors open inside and out, and the tailgate folds down. The front wheels can be turned with the steering wheel and locked for graceful turns. The truck also features front and rear suspension so it won't bounce too much on country roads.
Travel back in time or into the woods with the Lumberjack pickup. The sun is out. The fog has lifted, leaving dewdrops on the carpet of moss and ferns in the forest. You've had pancakes, eggs and bacon for breakfast, the "lumberjack special" breakfast from the town diner. You're ready for work, and so is your truck. You find the old logging road at the edge of the forest and follow the tyre tracks into the dark green heart of the forest. Your muscles are still sore from yesterday's work, your leg is a little bruised from the impact of the log, but your body is excited, eager for the physical work. You are strong, confident and happy in a way that only people who work outdoors know.
You pull off the road, pull the truck into the beech forest and unload your equipment. Birdsong and the buzzing of insects fill your ears. The damp scent of the plants, the clayey earth and the smell of petrol wafting around your pick-up make your heart happy. You check the oil in the saw. It's fine. Three hard pulls and it starts. Before the sun sets, the bed of your Lumberjack pick-up is piled with cut logs. You head back the way you came, the only road in these woods, the road you and your trusty pickup know so well.

The Lumberjack pick-up truck model dates back to a simpler time, before you needed a degree in computer science to fix your car or truck engine. Dents from the job were what gave your truck character, not something to be ashamed of when you went to the mall. This old time work truck mockup will make an attractive and retro addition to your home or office decor. It also makes a great holiday or birthday gift idea for your favorite hobbyist or truck lover. Give a ready-to-assemble model kit or present a finished Ugears Lumberjack pickup truck as a special handmade gift to a family member or friend who knows how to recognize the dedication and effort of a job well done.
