Well I finally got Russ's simulated air ride suspension mounted, and wow, what difference it makes. This is what the suspension should look like..."SEXY".

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Thank you gun, i've already been in touch with ihbuilder about the wheels...hee hee hee:D

Thank you Diesel Demond, back a way's in this thread, I snapped a shot of rear bumper i'm planning on useing.

Thanx for the compliments fella's. My next step is to get the mounts done up for the full fenders I got from S&P.:D

Guy's and Gal's, do you want to see something kind of neat???
I had another knight body and used it for my test subject.
I got the wipers working, but I had to use the wiper blades that came with the kit. So these blades face the driver side of the cab, but I can live with that.
Now this was just a test, so the final mounting will be solid.
Here's a little video for you to see. Hope you enjoy.

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Thats cool John! Where did you get the kit from?

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Haha! Love it. I think I came across that kit on some German site before, can't remember where now but I remember thinking that it was pretty good value.

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Thanx Brian, the kit came from topcad.:)

Big John
Thanx SWAGGER, yea when I saw these I new I had to have them...because i'm different.:D

Big John

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

hey brian rc4wd has them:D

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

no freaking way just when you think no more can be done! i had a hard time replaceing mine on the saturn and you got them on your model!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Trucker n, I checked rc4wd and the price is about the same.
I didn't know they carried them, so I contacted Jerry from MMT, and he orderd them for me. Thanx for letting us know buddy.:):cool::p;)

Big John

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

When I was reading this, I was lmao because I got tickled when you said you had a hard time replacing the saturn's.
I'm trying things that I haven't seen before. But I can't take full credit for this idea. I seen this done on a big scale truck from a german show a long time ago, and thought if I could, I would.;)

Thank you, Big John

Can you paint my Wedico Pete?

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Love the paint job! Awesome looking unit! Wipers, way too cool of an idea!

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Bigg Redd, I just wish I could paint like that.:p:p Actually Ryno from the show trick my truck painted the bodies, and it was just pure luck I came across these pieces.

Big John
Thank you hippy. I am trying to do things that will make people go ooh and ahh lol.;):)

Big John

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Ok you all, are you ready to see something sexy?:rolleyes: I got my wheels I had ihbuilder (Steve) make, and spiked lug nuts.:D:D I white letterd the tires quite a while back. Well when I put them on the truck, I decided to go with the aluminum fenders because I think they give the truck more of a "hot rod" look w/ the white letters.;)

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Great build Big John! It's a "must be seen" of this forum!
Do you have a link for us to see pics in a bigger size? :-)
Love to see it with his tanker...
You're completing in the perfect way the job the painter starded!

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Thats a killer build for sure.Those spiked lug nut set it off and thats a tough front bumper.Steve done a great job on those wheels.Keep those pics coming. Awesome job Big John!!

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

ihbuilder (Steve) made the bumper. And thankyou.:)
Thankyou for the compliment,:D and photobucket corrected itself. The pic's I posted are the size I wanted, so I don't have bigger pic's, sorry.:(


Thankyou so much.:D And believe me when I say pictures doesn't do the wheels justice.;):):p:D

Big John

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

very nice...u should paint the chassis too and install some nice fenders

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

This freight shaker is looking **** good big John. Steve knocked it out of the park on those wheels. That guy never stops amwzing me. Your wheels, bumper n lugs all tie together so nicely.

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Thankyou, but I changed the fenders out because I think they look better on the truck. And I will paint the chassis.;)

Thanx a million, yes Steve does AMAZING work. I love these wheels so much, i'm thinking about kicking my wife out of the bedroom and sleeping with the truck...Think that's wrong??? LOL!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Big John

Thankyou Alfy, but I gotta warn you about the bumper...I wouldn't want to hit my bare feet.:eek::eek::eek:

Thanx buddy, and I don't mind at all about the bumper. I wanted something totally different, and I sent Steve a pic, and said no light holes, and he nailed it.:D

Big John

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

I wanted to add extra fuel tanks, and I would like your opinions. The running boards will be extended to the full lenght of the second set of tanks. Watcha think, yes or no.

Thanx for looking, Big John

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

Man thats a tough one! i would lean towards no just because your hiddin that stretched frame and thats forsure a show truck! looks good eitherway .

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 

I agree with desmond, no because it hides your frame stretch, and the running boards dont extend all the way back. So I say no to the second set, but that's just my 2 cents.
