i finally get to join the king hauler club!

[hippy]

well spent time today and installed frame rails.







still have a tonne to do but......

[dabears]

NICE!! I cant wait to see more on it! I like that your painting the pipes that'll deffinitally stand out against the crowd. I cant wait till i can get my king so i can start my next build! Are you going to add bigger tanks to it? How long are the new rails?

[hippy]

thank you, i am going to make tool boxes and steps for the gap to be filled in with. the new rails are 30" long. and thank you on the pipes. got to figure out what to use for the driveshaft, i know i need 2 piece, but i am trying to find something around here to use as the steady bearing.

Looking good! A few guys that I have spoke with had their 5th wheel raised...on the 1:1 trucks. Dont see why it wouldnt work on 1/14...

I mounted mine to the axle worked good. or maybe notch a grove where your fender mounts are it'll lower them a little... Love they way the truck looks! Lights are Sweet

[hippy]

thank you.

ya i looked at how you did yours and great idea, but i have started a new set of open fenders.

[dabears]

What did you use to make your fenders? i like how smooth they look.

[hippy]

They are made from abs pipe and styrene, lots of sanding and more sanding.

Thank you.
