Hey Snochaser, I made the air hose's from 20 gage solid copper core wire which I wrapped tightly around a steel rod ( the rod was actually the leftover piece of driveshaft from my PMD driveline I ordered when I stretched the truck. )
The glad handles are cotter pins which I cut the ends off, pinched the wire core into and soldered. I was considering making a connection point on the trailer to hook them too when I realized, I just spent a pile of time and money eliminating connections and installing a wireless light kit and now I'm adding wires back on the trailer??? Lol. I may still do it, real easy to do.

Hey hippy , no smoke yet. After almost 2weeks of my truck and trailer being tore apart on the workbench, I'm happy to see it together again and just want to enjoy it for awhile and admire the " bling " before i complete the smoker install. The unit is in the truck, just need to find some tubing and a way to connect to the stacks. Also need to figure out a way to fill the unit with oil without having to remove the body everytime. I hate removing the body, man there's a lot of wires in there I tell ya! :eek::eek:
Thanks for looking !

Thanks Spudd! I can't wait either. I think it's going to look wicked! I've got a bit of a surprise also. I bought a tanker trailer and should have it complete today. It looks great behind the truck. A shiny truck needs shiny trailers and your reefer plus this tanker make a great set! Looks like a sunny day today, will try and post pics.

That tanker looks right at home behind king bling! That setup looks Sweet!

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

thanks dabears , i knew the tanker would look good but hummed and haaawed about the cost for along time. But then one day tower hobbies had a promo deal on , plus I'm a member so managed to knock almost 75 bucks off so that was enough to get me to buy it and now that it's together and hooked to the truck....I'm very happy with my choice.
I ordered another wireless light kit for it and motorized legs. 8 extra marker lights / 4 per side. Have plans for a custom Decal for truck and tanker. The ying and yang symbol that swagger brout up a few months ago on this thread. anyway, thats it for now. Thanks for lookin man.

Do you carry your truck with cloth gloves? Not a single smudge or finger print

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

Thanks Mario , you have a very sweet truck n trailer too. I love the attention to detail and realism of your trailer. Nice work!

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

Hey Aaron. I wear laytex gloves not cloth.:D:D .....seriously, everytime after running the truck or doing repairs I use a swiffer duster to remove any large particles and then use the polishing cloth that came with the truck to remove prints and smudges. When not in use, I store the truck in a large tote box. All my orders from tower hobbies come with " air bag " type packing. I saved it all and surround the truck with it in the tote. The truck is nice and snug and safe inside. No dust, no damage. Im always very careful and cautious when handling the truck...... Can you say... " anal " ..... Yes I am !
Did I ever mention the fact that I armor all the tires on a regular basis?

Thanks Shawn. No need to step up your game. After meeting you guys and seeing what you've all accomplished , I'm in catch up mode. I've been hooked on RC trucks since I bought my truck, but since the Clifford show, I can't get it out of my head, I'm RC crazy now! :D:D:D , just can't get enough, of this wonderful stuff! Lol
