Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Well, after being at work for 2 weeks, finally home and some new parts have arrived.....so as much as I didnt want to, i bit the bullet and completely disassembled my truck, again. This time was the most extreme. Stripped right down to frame rails. The reason for such insanity is for the frame rail extensions i bought from PMD, custom aluminium cross members, motorized support legs servo, rewire and reorganize sleeper area to fit the MFU, my new TX board for wireless trailer lights and a mini smoke generator which plugs directly into mfu in place of shaker motor. I hope it all fits because I also have a set of John's custom mitred stacks coming which will look great with smoke coming out:). Anyway, enough talk.Here's some pics.

oh oh remember mario we live in canada so make sure it will pass emissions :p:p:p

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

LOL, how true. It's all about the emissions nowdays. The electronic engines of today can create so much horsepower but are set low to meet emissions....no more pulling out your fuel injection pump rack tooling and " turning things up a bit". :)

Not sure if the smoke generator is going to stay on my truck, I've heard reports that the smoke can leave an oily residue and if true......if I get one microscopic drop of the stuff on Super Bling, thats it, smoke will be gone!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

got some more done on Super Bling today. Deceided to start laying out how things are going to fit in the sleeper.

something like this.....

then an idea came to mind. I want to be able to remove the battery without having to move or disconnect stuff so , using nothing but leftovers from my trailer, I made a rack and shelf out of the vertical stake from the flatbed and remnants of the front plate.

its not the best looking but , it works!
Also, after almost 4 hrs of work I got a deck plate made for the 5th wheel servo. Unfortunately the plate i had to work with was not long enough to cover entire deck so I installed the original to fill it in for now. Wow, there is not much room for error when installing that servo! Turned out that the frame rail extension mounting bolts are right where the servo needs to be. It took alot of trimming and grinding to get it in there!

How did i know u were gonna stretch that truck. it looks good and clean. will be cool to see it done with that sweet trailer!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks for the heads up. This smoke generator thing is a experiment. The cons are: white smoke not black , leaves a oily residue , lack of durability . The pros are: ????? Haven't found one yet. Maybe that's why I don't see many trucks with smoke? Come to think of it, today's electronic engines don't smoke! .......Atention ! Smoke generator for sale ! Never used! Lol

That's bad a$$ looking Mario! Love the stretch looks much better with it!

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Much better with the stretch. It would be nice if the stock truck trucks came with a little longer rails. The trailer looks good also

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks Aaron , glad you like the stretched look. So do I ......don't matter how much bling you put on a truck if it don't look right eh?

Re: Updates to my king hauler, which now has a new name. KING OF BLING HAULER..lol
 

Thanks dmess62. I agree. Both truck and trailer are a little short coming from tamiya. The trailer was just too short and the truck cab looks way too big for the frame. Now with the stretch, things are actually normal lookin. I'm not complaining bout tamiya , I think they hit marketing genius with the king hauler. It can be a Pete or a Kenworth....it can be long or short. Correct me if I'm wrong but, variety and options are the spice of life correct?:D:D:D
