Knuckleheads Knight dump

[woodhog]

This is a truck that we acquired at the Jackson Tn show. I thought that my 3 yr old would like it the way it was where he could pull our trailers.Well he informed me he wanted a dump truck which is what he wanted to begin with. So chop cut rebuild:jaw:. We ordered one of Reg's dump beds,And pics here on the forum dont do it justice:D. Here is where we are at so far.

Got the bed mounted and wired to an Esc.I have a motor controller to put on and limit switches so we dont have to worry about them bottoming out and binding the screw drive up .

Ill have 2 little truckers if I take the youngest,this is his truck. Hope to take liams and stretch it by indy and he wants a different color.

[Lil Giants]

Have you ever seen those chrome cabs painted with a transparent color? They look super sharp! A burgundy wine or lemon yellow with that black box :drool:

Hey what you doing with that Deere 544j wheel loader in the back.

[RCP57]

That's one shiny truck with the chrome body and mirror black box! I think it looks great with the Knight cab and tanks. I'm happy to see that it fits well with that cab too!

Keep the updates coming!
