Re: Day Cab build for Team KNK Hardware

Thank you sir. I didn't do a build thread on that one on here I don't think. I did on my YT channel (KeiferKustoms).

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

So a tractor needs something to pull behind it right?! I splurged and ordered a Tamiya flatbed because i had a coupon to use up.

Pretty straightforward build. I didn't do anything different except...

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

I'm going to do another one in the future. I might go a different route though and use a gear reduction/transfer case setup. Simpler, less bulk. I leave my three speed locked in low gear anyways,...

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

In searching for steel driveshafts i came across some china made units that fit this cheap budget build. Again, a long boat ride over but they are worth it i think. Pretty well built units so we will...

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

Closer to road legal, we need some lighting. I used True Scale light bezels in 3mm and 5mm. The GT Power unit came pre wired and had plenty of length for this build. I did have to add the five extra...

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

We needed a good set of tires since this truck is to be used off pavement more than on. So many choices out there but you can't beat the Lesu's for the money. Had to wait about three weeks for the...

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

Thanks Frizzen. Yeah looks can be deceiving when it's not a nice flashy paint job. LOL

I'll try the brake fluid next time and going to do the chrome thing this weekend on another project. Thanks.

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

I got the G.T. Power cargo truck sound unit/light kit module. Again, it fit the cheap budget theme.

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900

Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900
