My Knight Hauler
 

This is my knight hauler. I made the bumper out of aluminium and added mudflaps to the bottom of it. I also made the bug deflector out of 1ml aluminium ,put mitre cut exhausts on, the deck plate is stainless steel i bent it all myself, added some number plates to the truck and trailer. I moved the trailer axles back and lowered them. My Dad made the bar on the back of the trailer and added the cat logo. I put longer mudflaps on and made up some mudflap weights. Hope you guys like it :)

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Thats a real nice truck n trailer I like the color. Great job on the bumper and bug deflector,The stacks and mudflap weights are a great touch.Great job on your build!

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

yes i love the knight and i was just thinking on how to do a bug sheild. i was thinking more of a tinted thin peice of plastic then pinching it in between the hood and grill when tightening it. nice truck

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Good looking combo you got there

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Looks awesome lov the color

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Heres some more photos, it was painted in a paint booth and we got it scrolled just to make it a bit more australian, I want to try and put another axle on the trailer and im thinking i should make a dolly aswell and get another trailer for it, and i also wax and polish the whole truck:)

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

That looks NICE :)) great colour and pin stripping.

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Does any one have any ideas on how I can put another axle on my trailer ?

Re: My Knight Hauler

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Hey all,

Just thought Id show all you guys what ive done since my last few posts, Have added the cat mudflaps on both truck and trailer which to me look pretty sweet, Will one day be adding another trailer and a dolly so i can hopefully have a road train , This trailer will be the rear one since i have put road train signs into it,

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Looks great Lucas, where did you get the mud flaps from?

Buzzy

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Well Buzzy,

All I did was get the cat logo off the world wide web and printed them off in a few different sizes and once i was happy ,chose the right size and just used double sided tape and hey presto, The trailer ones are a bit smaller than whats on the truck,

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

awesome lookin truck n trailer love the extras,nice color

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Well a couple of weeks ago it was my birthday, 19 of june to be exact, i got a box trailer and a pole trailer to make a dolly out of so i can nom have a roadtrain, i built the pole trailer first to see what it was like before i raided parts off of it. i made up some rails for the dolly and started from there, once i had the suspension and rear light bar on it had a fair bit of twist to it so i added some cross members to stiffen it up which helped a lot i added the long vehicle sign and mud flaps to the front and back, the drawbar will be made out of brass along with a few other small things

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

On to the lead trailer, the trailer that you guys have seen will now be at the rear, i got a ringfeeder from RigidRc which is a great piece for what its worth, i moved the axles back and lowered the rear to make it the same as my other trailer, i then made a mounting plate for the ringfeeder and mounted it to the trailer made the rear bar up and all i have to do is make the drawbar and wire it all up:mad:

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

I had also got a rear light bar from RigidRc along with lenses for my truck to make it look better, i had to modify the plastic at thr rear of the chassis so the bar could fit in , added another LED to the revese light and put it on, seeing as how i am building a dolly i need to have my name on it so i made up this logo yesterday but im not sure if it will do, what do guys think?:)

regards, Lucas

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

What a sharp looking truck details are awesome.....

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Nice work Lucas! You laid down a really nice paint job on your truck, and I like the pin stripes too. I've thought about doing a nice aluminum bug deflector for one of my trucks also, and yours looks great. It's nice touch.

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

well i got the dolly finished over the weekend and was suprised with the result , i was originally going to paint it black to match the truck and trailer chassis' so instead i painted it the same as the truck, the part i was dreading most was all if the wiring it, it is all wired from front to rear, the ring/eye is brass bushed because the pin in the ringfeeder was a smaller diameter to it, i polished up the front bar, made up mudflap weights. the stand is held by chain pretty and much all i have to do is add hub caps and its complete, personally i think i did pretty well for a 17 year old :D:D:D
what do you guys think??

Lucas

Re: My Knight Hauler

dad and I tried different ways of mounting it and ended up shortning the plastic at the end of the chassis , i wasnt liking that i had to chop it up thinking i might wreck it but it turned out better than i thought
What do you guys think???
cheers Lucas:D:D:D

Re: My Knight Hauler
 

Sweet. I love it! Same age as me with limited tools so I understand you there :D You should scratch build a cab for the next build if/when you do it because you have the skill. Once I have enough $$$ Ill be happy to join you guys.

Re: My Knight Hauler
