Re: First Build - King Hauler
Great job on your KW conversion! The lift axle and suspension is adding a lot to the build. Think you've got enough cab clearance lights? I AM a fan! The frame ramp taper looks nice too.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
That's a lot of lights! I like lights. As for chrome vs paint depends in what else will be chrome. I like chrome but not overkill chrome.. Hard to say

Re: First Build - King Hauler
My first instinct would be to say paint it. When I look at it I think of Younggunz black Pete or John's roll off Pete. Both nice examples of painted visors and with the lights I think would look wicked

Re: First Build - King Hauler
Nice looking rig, Goose! I'm building a KH just like this one. How did you make the styrene boxes to house the headlights, and the buckets themselves? Thanks.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
they are cut out of the stock chrome KH rear bumper, you will only have to make the clear lenses to cover the front.
