Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Really switching things up in the shop today. i bought my tanker trailer about 4yrs ago and at the time all I did to it was cat mudflaps and the company logo on the sides. Was planning to install motorized legs, some marker lights , SS Tronix light kit. I have all that stuff but the project never got started and has sat on the shelf since.
For once my procrastination has paid off! . I've learned a lot about this hobby and have a lot more tools and materials since 4 yrs ago. Also picked up some sweet looking half round fenders made by Flatdeck a few years ago that I was going to use on the Izzy dump trailer but if there is one thing I didn't like on the tanker is the stock fenders. So it's time! Finally going to customize and upgrade the tanker trailer and get this old project off the to do list once and for all! Best part is, nothing to order and wait for. It's all been on a shelf for the last 3 1/2 yrs! And I realized at the current exchange rate, there's a lot of cash been sitting on the shelf! Still have enough to do 2 trailers and one more truck someday. |

I was thinking a Tequila tanker. . Haul salt in the dump truck and lemons on the flatbed for those people who need that stuff.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
The tequila tanker is done! .....well, at least the lights and motorized legs are. The actual fluid hauling part will have to wait till a future winter build. who knows, might take another 3yrs before that happens
I'm real happy with results. I wanted to keep it simple and subtle. No room for light bezels along the top so just went with small holes just large enough for the LED tip. 6/64 drill bit and the lighting is just right. When lights off you can barely even see the holes so, I like. Using a chunk of Coroplast I came up with a nice material to make a mounting plate for the SS Tronix gear. Slides in and out like a tray and also incorparated a way to secure the battery. Using a 3,000ma nimh battery is overkill but at least this way I should be good for the entire summer and it adds weight on the drives. Also added some back up lights and end markers on the stock bumper It's hard to take pics of this shiny tank but like I say, it's hard to see the holes when not lit up. |

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
Thanks guys. Means a lot to me coming from old dogs on the forum like you two
I forgot to share some of the underside touches I added. I love the black rails in the tanker kit but hate all the silver shiny hardware it's bolted with so grabbed a brush and some flat black just to clean things up a bit. Of course I'd love to have a nice air bag suspension type set up but i rather work with what I got and sometimes a little lipstick and makeup can go along way...... |

That's one cool tanker! Watch your corners so you don't clip one of your buildings
