Re: Help me find aluminum for my trailer
 

i just finished filling my roof in a few days ago, got the primer on and got it sanded and got the paint on today so i havent pulled the new trailer yet, but just sitting next to the truck frame is looks sooo much better being 48' long. I dont see why tamiya wouldeven sell the trailer that short. Judging by how cheap we can get the aluminum to extend the trailer it would cost tamiya pennies more for a true 48' trailer.

But then it wouldn't fit in the box. LOL!

While they are at it why don't the make the King Hauler a couple inches longer?

Re: Help me find aluminum for my trailer
 

yes the king frame defientely needs a inch or inch and a half behind the sleeper to look perfect. Thats the next thing on my to buy list, a 1 1/2" longer frame from Joe to make my King look perfect.

but really 180 dollars for a tiny 20' trailer? For ten bucks more per trailer Tamiya would have their trailer almost perfect, i really hate their bumper/light bar for the trailer also not scale at all.

but think about it, they pay their workers two bucks a day to make and then box these kits....

I know I've already told you but my home depot and lowes in my area of Jersey has a decent metal selection, in fact the lowes metal selection saved me tonite in making a bracket. Here's my lowes metal stock, tons of different sections of angle iron and plates of steel and aluminum in different gauges.
