Default My new Knight Hauler/Freightliner

Here is the progress of my new Knight Hauler/Freightliner that I received a month ago. There is still a lot to be done to it before it's finished but cant wait.

We are still trying to come up with a colour scheme, looking at putting guards on the rear tyres, Starting from scratch on building a bullbar for it, Some extra lights, waiting for my new aluminum rims for it now after I order some more, plus some other stuff that will come to mind as I'm building it.

I was wondering also if anybody knows where I could possibly get some clear lenses from that will fit the rear lights?









Here is the bullbar I'm looking at making for it below.

You know, you could actually use the interior if you wanted to. My knight has the interior and the full mfu, and I can tell you with no hesitation my building skills are nowhere near most of the guys on here. I just built a sleeper wall that squeezed between the cab and sleeper, even made a drape for it, painted the wall black, rearranged a few things, and got it all to fit

I'm hoping to change it to the same as the photo above but don't know who would be able to do it for me and make the grill for it so it will stay as it is and try to make some changes that I can do to make it look like a freightliner as close as I can.

Your probably pushing it to buy any parts from that truck as it has only just been released and there would be a fair bit of modifying to do to get it to fit.

I have made progress on my truck in the last week the photos will be up soon on how much I made but its still along way to go.

I was wondering where I can get a stone guard for it for my front windscreen? I have seen a Scania on one of the Facebook pages and it had one on it. Is there any for the knight hauler?

Still looking for the following part if anybody can help.

MAN mirrors with the chrome inserts
Rear guards off a container trailer
Stone guard for front window

That should be it at the moment until I can think of something else.

If anybody can help that would be great

Thankyou
