Looking real good for first build dude! Can I make one suggestion , your front axle can be moved forward to give the truck a better stance and look. Every other truck I've seen on this forum with the custom fenders has moved the front axle forward of the leaf spring centerline and still maintain steering clearance.
Try it, you might like it.
And yes, more pics of trailer please:)

Re: My first king hauler build
 

i'm going to use two esc's and i've got two small motors and gear set ups from a/c actuators from a chevy tahoe that are gear perfect to handle the weight and move the door slow enough to look real. after i get the door working off the electronics i'm going to start installing the lights. by then i should have the wrap made for the trailer. i've also got a losi 1/16 mini dirt late model ordered that is going to be in the trailer. Then back to working on the cab. could be a hold on things here soon wife is expecting #4.

Re: My first king hauler build
 

Nice looking set up.Cant wait to see the video.

Re: My first king hauler build
 

Trailer is looking sweet! Great work on the back door!

And congrats to you on the wife on #4!!

Re: My first king hauler build

Re: My first king hauler build
 

WOW that trailer came out pretty cool so far! Looks great behind your rig! Now does your little racer fit inside? cool way to show up at the track!!

Re: My first king hauler build
 

Sir,

I forgot to ask about the Grill, Headlights, and the New Nose for the Truck. Where did you get them please ?

Thank you,
Robby

Re: My first king hauler build
 

Sir,

I hope I didn't aslk this question before. It's late and I'm tired. My apologies if I did. I would like to know where did you get the grill, headlights and the awesome front bumper. Also, I want one of those Race Trailers you built. What is your price for on. Also, did you put on any suspension upgardes on it. How long are the frame rails ?

Thank you,
Robby

Re: My first king hauler build
 

It looks like the grill is a standard king hauler grill, bumper looks like one of those sold on ebay. As far as the trailer goes go over to the vendor section on the forum and look at izzy's toy hauler it is a very nice race car trailer or what ever you would like it to be, they are very well planned out and look awesome with any truck. The head lights look like they came from Rick over at gardentrucking.com he has nice after market mods for your trucks. The vendor section here has a great bunch of guys with great products at a very fair price.

Re: My first king hauler build
 

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know where I can get the the Bumper, Headlights, Nose and Fenders for this Truck. I'm New and just getting into the Hobby and I would like to build a truck with this front end. Please let me know. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you,
Robby

Re: My first king hauler build
 

That looks like a stock grille. Ask Stylin N Proflin John for fenders, see his store in the vendors section.

Russ in the Boneyard or IH Steve make bumpers, also vendors here.


Can find lots of other parts like the headlights here.
