No but a stock Knight Hauler with some longer frame rails and bigger pipes would look just fine. Bolt on some custom IHB rims and bumper and you will be looking sharp. That is all stuff you can do or get a little help from some of your friends.

Debating on putting the d.o.t. tape on or not. Any suggestions?

Re: Toy Hauler
 
I think the tape really sets it off. Use Scotch tape to mock it up so you can get an idea of how it will look.

I would do the 4 corners of the rear and maybe some down the side here and there for sure. I agree with Ben mock it up even with cardboard strips to see how it would look.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET.
Those two trailers are works of art. Hats off to you. I think you should build a double bunk large car studio sleeper with matching psycho clown decals and flames not to mention add a few lights to that bad boy. Awsome job

not much i can add that hasn't already been said, but simply stunning, especially the night shot.

have you thought about using led tape vs individuals? downside is you wouldn't have as much flexibility with placement, but it would be easier to install. i'm going to try some on my next build.
