King Hauler slighlty modifiied

Hello to everybody,
in this thread I´d like to show you some pics of my first King Hauler. I´ve built it in 2009, then did some changes in 2010 and finally finished it this year.
I´am not gonna show pics from building the frame, I think there´s enough in other threads!
The first change I did was the front lights. The original Tamiya lights look somehow sad, so I chagned them and made the tractor look more like a Kenworth, with two lights each side.

I used the rear bumper to cut out the bulb-housings with a dremel and used some clear plexi to cover the 5mm LED´s.
After Building the tractor together it lokked kie this:

I also put some LED´s behind th dashboard, hard to make a pic!

The tractor sat fo a while like that, but then I wanted a different paint-scheme on it, so down with the old paint!
This is the final result:

After a week of re-wiring all the lights and putting it back together it came out like this.

This was last winter, we had some snow outside, so let´s put the rig on the ice-road!

Then I finally got me a new trailer this year. A good friend of mine with alucky hand on graphics got me some nice stickers for the container, reminding me of the good times I spend in the states on vacation!

Well what else is different from the original kit? The front bumper is from M. Fischersworring, made of polished Aluminium, the rims are from Stellamodels, the support-legs on the trailer are motorized and I used some 60 LED´s for the lights.
The tractor and trailer communicate via infrared, so no wires between them.
Now I enjoy driving this rig!
