NICE!! I cant wait to see more on it! I like that your painting the pipes that'll deffinitally stand out against the crowd. I cant wait till i can get my king so i can start my next build! Are you going to add bigger tanks to it? How long are the new rails?

thank you, i am going to make tool boxes and steps for the gap to be filled in with. the new rails are 30" long. and thank you on the pipes. got to figure out what to use for the driveshaft, i know i need 2 piece, but i am trying to find something around here to use as the steady bearing.

Re: i finally get to join the king hauler club!
 
now the only problem i have is that the fenders don't fit under the trailer so time for a remake!

Looking good! A few guys that I have spoke with had their 5th wheel raised...on the 1:1 trucks. Dont see why it wouldnt work on 1/14...

thought of that, just don't like the raised look though.

I mounted mine to the axle worked good. or maybe notch a grove where your fender mounts are it'll lower them a little... Love they way the truck looks! Lights are Sweet

They are made from abs pipe and styrene, lots of sanding and more sanding.

Thank you.
