Default My Knight Hauler

This is my knight hauler. I made the bumper out of aluminium and added mudflaps to the bottom of it. I also made the bug deflector out of 1ml aluminium ,put mitre cut exhausts on, the deck plate is stainless steel i bent it all myself, added some number plates to the truck and trailer. I moved the trailer axles back and lowered them. My Dad made the bar on the back of the trailer and added the cat logo. I put longer mudflaps on and made up some mudflap weights. Hope you guys like it

Heres some more photos, it was painted in a paint booth and we got it scrolled just to make it a bit more australian, I want to try and put another axle on the trailer and im thinking i should make a dolly aswell and get another trailer for it, and i also wax and polish the whole truck

Cool Re: My Knight Hauler

Hey all,

Just thought Id show all you guys what ive done since my last few posts, Have added the cat mudflaps on both truck and trailer which to me look pretty sweet, Will one day be adding another trailer and a dolly so i can hopefully have a road train , This trailer will be the rear one since i have put road train signs into it,

Lucas, (LOUIE 379)
