Re: MB Heavy Haul
This build has been on the backburner for over a year........Finally picked up some speed on it again.
This is going to be a 10x8 Beam Hauler XXL. Now the axles fit so next step is to make the rear axle steer properly and smooth. [IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4471/...b02f924a_b.jpgIMG_1828 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] Im also going to build toolboxes. The driveshaft in the pic. is going to be replaced by telescopic ones. |
Re: MB Heavy Haul

Re: MB Heavy Haul
Thanks Kerst. Yes i hope it will perform better than the KH. If it does i might give the KH the same treatment.....And there is a KH II in the making too :jaw:
More of that later :D |
Re: MB Heavy Haul
Looks Great :jaw: Nice Work

Re: MB Heavy Haul
Looking good Bo, what frame rails are you using? Why the the different spring mounting on the rear set of tandems? Inquiring minds what to know! Lol

Re: MB Heavy Haul
Most impressive! :eek: I am very envious for sure.
And here I thought a 6X6 would be fine for me. I'm short a few! |

The frame rails is King Hauler and a slight modification on the suspension in the front. The rear steering axles has a hole pattern narrower than regular straight axles. so the stock wouldn't work. I overcome that hurdle with changing a few parts around......Lesu springs and and brackets from. http://www.ebay.com/itm/stainless-st...72.m2749.l2648 And i use those for couplings to push and pull rods too. Now the fun begin with hooking up the steering.......... |

My KH Beam Hauler got 10x4 and not liking uneven ground much. So i decided this build needed some extra Omf. 10x8. The KH II is all out 10x10 Your 6x6 is going to do just fine. ( All wheel drive is a must this days :lol: ) |
Re: MB Heavy Haul
Here you can see the different width of the axles hole pattern. 2.5 mm x 2 is the diff. in measurement from mid axle to hole centre.
[IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4503/...7e3b553e_b.jpgIMG_1834 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] I might put in two set of this one down the road. But for now i'll test this setup. [IMG]https://farm1.staticflickr.com/446/3...be016dc8_b.jpgRearSuspension by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] |
Re: MB Heavy Haul
The Four Axle Gravel Hauler getting new axles too.
[IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4491/...5615e74d_b.jpgIMG_1836 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] When using one steer axle in the rear normal suspension parts is fine. Just added the heavy duty lesu springs with one more blade in it. [IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4477/...b4d26317_b.jpgIMG_1835 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] Yes all lesu axles going in here too :D 8X8 Rocks........ |

I am learning everyday about rigs so I looked up on You Tube a truck like you're building and found something I didn't know existed. I watched a bunch of Mercedes Benz Actros SLT with dual front steer (axle added) and that I thought is a kit? Or builder modified? Just a learning experience. :rolleyes: 'Anywho', just when I thought I satisfied my 6WD truck need (bought a CROSS freshly built) and avoided having to build something, now I see the need for a second truck! LOL!!! Does this happen often guys? By the way, I didn't want to hi-jack your thread with any pics or videos... just wanted to drop by and say how impressive THIS is and I blame you now that I see my truck collection will grow. :lol: And $$$ more out. :cool: |
Re: MB Heavy Haul
That's Ok Panther.............Brace yourself for impact.........:lol:
I started hang on this forum when it opened. And before that the Garden Trucking forum. Took me a while before i felt ready to make any noise. 2013 i've had one truck a Globe Liner. Now a bit later it's a totally different story..........i'm still married though.........:lol: For me this is where i can relax and have fun.....don't need to compete or be better than anyone else just do my thing and learn from other people. If anyone like what i did or came up with i'm happy and that's how i like it. We all need something to do, and i'm sticking to that story. |
