Thanks for the welcome Rob. Jasons truck has takin me away from my rock crawlers. I just got a King hauler kit yesterday. Will get into it as soon as I get jason truck out of the shop.

Sweet! There might be a local get together yet! It's nice to see another builder on the south island. You guys aren't allowed to get me into scale crawling though.lol

Reg

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

oh come on Reg it is way too much fun ;)

between Mike and I we probably have 15 or more scale crawlers so we could always let you use one.

doesn't it look fun Reg ? ;)

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Haha noooooo! I've wanted one for a long time, that's the problem. Every time I go into see Jeff at the hobby shop I glance at them but I have irons in too many fires already. Maybe when we get together we can do some crawling too. I have a lot of good space for that outside.

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Its alot of fun and not at all addictive. Not all of these are mine. The tan jeep is jasons, thats an old pic and doesn't have my ford...or gray yota in it. come to thick of it, I may have a problem after all. I hope this trucking thing isint the same.

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Haha, you guys need to cut that out. If you seen my garage you would understand why I don't need another obsession...

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Mike and Know Jeff well (especally Mike) and crawl with him too he lives up the street from me.

lol too funny Mike, I guess I better recount. you have 14 yourself not counting my ten. ok enough hijacking my thread and back to the autocar

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Jeff pointed me to your build and this forum back when I started my Euc. I guess its you and Jeff's fault that I'm on here everyday...

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

So Mike, will it be a tractor or a dump?

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Gee Reg, maybe some trail building, then crawling!
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Me and jason keep talking about it. Latest thought is a tracktor with a dump trailer... maybe.

Heres the short version for the back center caps.

Start first with some food and a drink.

Do you have a cnc mill?

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

No CNC mill. Kickin old school.

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Is this thing back together yet or what? I need to move some dirt!

How bout that shinny new king? Out of the box yet?

Reg

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Yes it is out of the box, but I'm sure no one here wants to see some newbbie build a king. If I make some cool parts them ill post some up.

As for Jason's truck, I can't wait to see it get loaded

Re: my first semi build (dump)
 

Come on man we love pics, now start a build thread so we can watch.

Travis

Re: my first semi build (dump)
