Double BP Tankers w/charger

[ryman]

Ok I did do a few more changes than just the stickers.:cool:

I added half a tire rack from a reefer trailer to each tanker and a wheel guard from a pole trailer.

Then I thought it would be cool if the tanker could "Fuel up" the trucks so a added a charger to one of the tankers:rolleyes:

I disassembled a charger, used the cover as a template to drill and cut the rear cover of the tank. The mount for the pc board is standoff out of a computer. I also had to desolder the board for the Lipo balance plugs and relocate that and the power connections to the metal project box I mounted on the side of the traler frame.

The dolly is a modified pole trailer I added a fifth wheel.

You can bring your rig to our truck meets anytime you like dude ! :)

[plow jockey]

That thing is awesome I like the spare tire rack but that charger is crazy, great job !!

[dabears]

Now that is deffinitly thinking out of the box and a awesome idea!! Very cool! The whole setup looked great but that just made it better!

[Diesel Demond]

Hey Ryman, I'm used to making my fuel tanks into battery boxes :), but to turn the tanker trailer into a battery charger is an excellent use of space and very inspired. B-E-A-Uitiful :D:D:D

I just knew that the dolly had to be a kit-bashed pole-trailer :p I love what you've done with the fifth-wheel plate. So many possibilities... :eek::eek::eek::eek:

AWESOME!!! Being able to "fuel" up other trucks is just crazy cool. Like dabears said thinking way outside the box

[ryman]

Thank you all for the great comments. I have a few other things in the works and once I get the bugs worked out I will post them. What do you think about painting the frame rails green to match my aeromax.

[dmess62]

green rails would be cool

[dabears]

i think the green rails would deff set it off as a combo. I say go for it!

[AzItalian]

make it yellow buddy.

[sandfarmer]

Great idea and execution, very cool!

[JoseFL10-4]
