Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
Its good to see that you guys are paying attention to what we have been doing to this truck for 10 years now with are modds and the great parts are awesome vendors have stuck there necks and wallets out to make but it would of been nice to see the body get fixed to look more right. Like getting the sleeper the same height as the cab and get the fender lights gone and move the fenders ahead so the axle is in the right space.
Are they going to stop making the King Hauler? I hope not because some guys like myself will still use the after market parts and rather not pay the extra for the new parts. I paid my pre order so I cant wait to get one and build it just have to have a stock one in the fleet like the rest it looks pretty good for a box stock truck..

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
I came across something I know a lot will not care for. Since this is the king hauler body, there was only room for one light bucket. So one light in the 2 light cluster is a dummy light.
I will be modifying mine to use two lights though. All light buckets will have LED's on my build.

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
I noticed the rear bumper has 3 spots for reverse lights and they show 3 leds going in those spots.. To my knowledge every MFU I've had only had a single reverse led. Did they change something??

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
Question?
I noticed the ends of the axle shafts are splined but inside of the rims have a hex hole. Is there an adapter used? Ken O |

Re: Clean & Mean Grand Hauler Build
Yes, the hex adapters are splined.

Thank you Janderson for the tips on the headlights and rear bumper for adding lighting. That will help a lot.
