My new Knighthauler!!

GlobelinerBrad · #1 08-28-2015, 01:58 AM

Not sure if you guys remember me but i used to be pretty active on here but sold out to pursue other hobbies. Ive always wanted back in the fold but never seemed to be able to find a rig when the extra money was around. Thanks to my good buddy Rod aka Stepside i was able to score a RTR Knight Hauler on the cheap. He's in PA but found it on my local Craigslist so I pulled the trigger and got it. Its bone stock and im not sure where I am going with it but here are a couple pics after i got the previous owners dust off it. I am just waiting on my life to slow down a little bit so I can tear into it!!!

Thanks guys ! Pretty hard to pass up a rtr rig for 2 hundies. Definitely not the same without the lights and sounds of a mfu. I'll have to work on that and a trailer!

Definitely can't beat the price of admission! You know, that thing looks pretty bad *** in black, I cast the first vote for leaving the paint....just add your sound and lights.

Sorry for the crappy vidya but got some stuff coming next week such as the correct mfu box and the big speaker box to deepen the sound up. Stay tuned!!!

Got some more work done on this thing. Added the chrome moulding, rear cab fairings (too cold to paint), mounted the mfu and shaker box, cleaned up the mfu wires a little also. I mounted the mfu controls in the correct side step box as well.

Very nice.you don't mormally see them with the white steel budd wheels...

GlobelinerBrad · #12 01-25-2016, 12:26 AM

You are right Dwayne on the wheels.. They just didn't look right on my stretched King Hauler, so I swapped them. I think they look better on this rig. Like a fleet truck! Now I just need to give the same treatment to the trailer.

Looks good Brad!

GlobelinerBrad · #14 01-30-2016, 10:43 AM

Not on your level PJ but I like it.

GlobelinerBrad · #15 03-28-2016, 12:22 AM

Finally got my cab fairings painted. Turned out decent but dont matter as the whole rig is getting a repaint this summer. I also swapped the chrome wheels back on to it. She aint much but she's mine...
