Anybody ever considered using "wire wrapping" to make all of those connection's instead of soldering? I have the tool from 25 year's ago.

Cheer's, Neil.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

WOW that is going to be a ton of work!! I would like to see some picks of how you do your runs of lights I would say you are the man with it comes to LED lighting on the board.

[Smokin Joe]

Actually, if you wire the led's in series, using led's of equal voltage and currant values, add them up, use the internet sites that do the math for you,
you will find it to be very easy.

I hope this helps forum members to try it.

Well the trailer is anyway :p :D lol. The truck will be next just haven't decided on what kind yet :D lol

Keith

[Espeefan]

Looks great, but I agree! You need a truck, with matching graphics, to hook the trailer. Maybe a stretched Aeromax or Knight Hauler.

[fhhhstix]

Well the trailer is anyway :p :D lol. The truck will be next just haven't decided on what kind yet :D lol

Keith

I vote Knight Hauler with just as many lights. Come on Keith I know you can do it.

Looks great, but I agree! You need a truck, with matching graphics, to hook the trailer. Maybe a stretched Aeromax or Knight Hauler.

Thanks :D. That's what I have planned. Not sure if they can put a wrap on a truck tho. I'm not much on Fords lol. But I was thinking about a Knight hauler :D

Keith

[Smiley]

I vote Knight Hauler with just as many lights. Come on Keith I know you can do it.


Travis

That's what I was thinking about doing :D lol. Don't know if they can put a wrap on a truck or not. If not their is always airbrushing :D lol

Keith

[Mama Sue]

Well worth the wait...Looks amazin' and I agree with everyone else, truck to match...

[Kaf343]

Awesome, awesome, awesome. It is bad a$$ all they way, somehow I think what ever truck you choose will pull it proudly. Good job.

Keith

[BRICKNICK]

A sweet knight hauler modified to look like a freightliner classic like tamiya cowboys spare parts freightliner build would look perfect pulling that trailer.

[Smiley]

Looking good!!

Thanks Dabears :D. Ya shoulda came and brought some wire. I almost didn't have enough :D lol.

Yes it would but I don't have the talent to do it :D lol.

Keith

[fhhhstix]

Yes it would but I don't have the talent to do it :D lol.

No but a stock Knight Hauler with some longer frame rails and bigger pipes would look just fine. Bolt on some custom IHB rims and bumper and you will be looking sharp. That is all stuff you can do or get a little help from some of your friends.

Debating on putting the d.o.t. tape on or not. Any suggestions?

[Snochaser]

I think the tape really sets it off. Use Scotch tape to mock it up so you can get an idea of how it will look.

Ben

[dabears]

I would do the 4 corners of the rear and maybe some down the side here and there for sure. I agree with Ben mock it up even with cardboard strips to see how it would look.

If the lights don't keep them awake my driving would :D lol

[hammer]

SWEEEEEEEEEEET.
Those two trailers are works of art. Hats off to you. I think you should build a double bunk large car studio sleeper with matching psycho clown decals and flames not to mention add a few lights to that bad boy. Awsome job

[bigdogrod]

not much i can add that hasn't already been said, but simply stunning, especially the night shot.

have you thought about using led tape vs individuals? downside is you wouldn't have as much flexibility with placement, but it would be easier to install. i'm going to try some on my next build.
