Assembly can start soon i hope..........Ben hoarding stuff for sometimes now:cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Haha love it Bo!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looks like your little nuts came in giant boxes.:eek: Seriously though, WTF? 15 in one box? What a waste of packaging.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

For us mere mortals, the boxes are too much overkill but to them it would cost way too much to retool a smaller box, then they don't sit in the distribution center or delivery box correctly.

It's funny, but everyone does it. If they can reuse a large box, the smaller part(s) go in and they save money.

I've seen it with aftermarket car electronic parts (back in the old days) and some just don't want to change over so to them, it's not a waste.


Anyway, back to the build... I love the bumper dressing here. The lettering and the diagonal stripes sure make a bold statement and if I ever wanted to make a hauler of some sort, I'll need those black and yellow bumpers. And I do appreciate the many pictures taken on what you have done so far. It helps motivate me to get something done.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Well Panther i'm slowly recover from unboxing the Nuts.....:eek: And outside is cold and gnarly.........Why not mess around with the Lathe and make some ultra super wide wheels.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Whoa... super sweet.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Wheels came out great Bo I like that deep dish :cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks Guys ;o) A bit tweaking and some paint Should do the trick i hope.

That little Lathe is so sweet to work with. Of Course i couldn't leave that in original state. I have been modding some crucial parts and now i'm happy with the performance. More of that and some picture On a screen near you soon.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Excellent work there bo. Looking great!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Those wheels are kick @ss looking!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks Hostiie & Skeeter.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Were the hubs 3D printed?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

What did you use to machine, is that household PVC pipe?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thank You Terry :) Thanks for asking Zabco :) No it's not. I put King Hauler rims in Chlorine and got rid of the Chrome. Skeeter You Nailed that one :lol: It's leftover PVC schedule 40 i think the name is. No need to cut down rear rims to get what i want...........The fleet is running white spinners anyway :D

I'm working to document how to do this...........or should i say how i do it. I hope i can geterdone tonight. Anyway Picture is coming soon to your screen.
