Blacked Out Knight Hauler

[Diesel Demond]

This is my Knight Hauler, just wanted to share it. Trailer is made by Freddy. I added half fenders, rear mud flaps behind first trailer axle, and rear D.O.T bumper. Now for truck, it has custom stacks, deck plate, full bearing kit, custom tail lights, bull guard, PMD CB whips, headache rack, chains and binders on head ache rack and a custom paint job. All of this is with the help of Tamyia Cowboy and his side kick Tristan (son).

This is quite possibly the baddest knight hauler I have ever seen! Looks great and stands out with the black rims instead of the usual chrome. Where was the headache rack from? Looks really good.
Trailer is very nice too with the load chained to it, very realistic looking.
I spotted this tractor in a few of Tamiya Cowboy's photos, glad to see it introduced properly.

Took me a while and a new computer on how to figure out posting pictures on here. The head-ache rack is from a guy named Melvin from (M&J CUSTOM TRUCKS) Thanx for the comments!

Nice!! i really like the paint... for sure the coolest knight hauler ive ever seen

[Radiowave Trucking]

Really sharp looking Knight Hauler you've got along with the trailer!!

[Pippoe]

Beautiful trailer!!

..and a nice Knight to pull it. I think the Knight would look even better w/o the bull bar.. but then I don't like the Tam bullbar anyway..

Cheers

Not to high jack your thread Diesel Demond, but that's one of the reasons I got a custom BB made to suit the Knight, no offence to anyone but when you see the tamiya BB on a few rigs it doesn't sit well and doesn't look like a modern BB should....

It would be nice if Tamiya re designed the BB or made a BB that suits different front ends on there rig range and or when they come out with a new truck they included one in the kit to suit the model not just one generic BB and thats it.....

Cheers Tracy

[Diesel Demond]

were do you get other bb's at

[Tamiya Cowboy]

You guys are giving this jacked up old fruiteliner way more props then it should get..



I MEAN looks great Cory..LOL!!

[Diesel Demond]

Well i want to turn this truck into a heavy haul tri axle! Just wondering what you guys think! now that i can keep my KW (thanx wifey) that will pull my spread axle flat bed! now to get a low boy! better just do one dream at a time. Tri axle first

[SWAGGER]

Great work Diesel, liking the black out theme. Where did you get that headache rack? It's the nicest I have seen.

[cabrover]

What he is asking guys is what do you think about making this a Tri Axle truck??

I say leave it and stretch it 2 inches..

[Claus]

Air foils, high rise sleepers and heavy hauls do not mix, just my opinion.

[FreddyGearDrive]

Trailer looks really good w/your finishing touchs.
Truck looks fantastic!I agree w/Paul,stretch it,then put the cow exploder back in the box. ;) Just my .02.

Great looking rig! I love the black wheels. Where did you get the Freightliner logo for the front? I found some KW ones, but I'm not sure that those would be the right ones for a Knight Hauler.

The truck looks bad arse, it reminds me of the freightshaker from Live Free or Die Hard
But I agree Freddy. Lose the cattle cage and stretch it/lower it.

[Diesel Demond]

Thanx guys ! yeah THAT COW EXPLODER has saved my butt a couple of times when i was a rookie driver! if you look at it closely its been glued about 6 different times! now im a better driver. Im likeing the stretch idea. i just saw a tri axle knight on youtube and didnt care for it. gotta see it then make a decision . im just glad it worked out that way this time!hahahah the freight shaker logo came from the garden trucking site and the head ache rack is from m&j customes.

[FreddyGearDrive]

Hey Demond,you could go for the twin tank look.

This tractor is stretched like 4-5". one thing,leave the drom off,unless you want a bunch of ball breakin on your build thread.
Just a suggestion.

[Diesel Demond]

i can see the stretch now and thats sick!

[crawler07]

I think it looks great as is??but what do I know? As for the animal guard I think it looks OK on their,Im sure if you were to build a custom one it would fit the contours and the style a little better but for a store bought universal piece it pretty cool.I was wondering where the rear tires came from? I have been wanting that style tire for a 8x8 build I will start soon..Thanks..

[SWAGGER]

Have you a link to the M&J Customs site? I can't find an M&J Customs that is rc related. Thanks.

[Diesel Demond]

i dont think he has a web site for the headache rack but his number is 217-656-3126 and name is melvin. as far as tires they are from the garden truck site called fuldas

[SWAGGER]

Cool, thanks buddy.

[1985 kenworth]

yea i agree nice looking truck blacked out rims kinda reminds me of the tractor in convoy...rubber duck mack

[Diesel Demond]

well sorry to bring this thread up again but if you look at the 2nd picture from the bottom u will notice glue on the side of the sleeper! and lets just say cocktails, easy off, and ideas dont mix. have to redo whole truck which isnt a prob cause my painter is my buddy. got new body ,but its gonna be totally different and the old
body will get repainted and return on a stretched frame. i will post pics as soon as i get it back together with my own paint job. im interested on what people think of paint

[Smokin Joe]

I really like the airbrush work!
