Well, after being at work for 2 weeks, finally home and some new parts have arrived.....so as much as I didnt want to, i bit the bullet and completely disassembled my truck, again. This time was the most extreme. Stripped right down to frame rails. The reason for such insanity is for the frame rail extensions i bought from PMD, custom aluminium cross members, motorized support legs servo, rewire and reorganize sleeper area to fit the MFU, my new TX board for wireless trailer lights and a mini smoke generator which plugs directly into mfu in place of shaker motor. I hope it all fits because I also have a set of John's custom mitred stacks coming which will look great with smoke coming out

. Anyway, enough talk.Here's some pics.

thanks for looking, have a great day!

oh oh remember mario we live in canada so make sure it will pass emissions

LOL, how true. It's all about the emissions nowdays. The electronic engines of today can create so much horsepower but are set low to meet emissions....no more pulling out your fuel injection pump rack tooling and " turning things up a bit".

Not sure if the smoke generator is going to stay on my truck, I've heard reports that the smoke can leave an oily residue and if true......if I get one microscopic drop of the stuff on Super Bling, thats it, smoke will be gone!

got some more done on Super Bling today. Deceided to start laying out how things are going to fit in the sleeper.

something like this.....

then an idea came to mind. I want to be able to remove the battery without having to move or disconnect stuff so , using nothing but leftovers from my trailer, I made a rack and shelf out of the vertical stake from the flatbed and remnants of the front plate.

its not the best looking but , it works!
Also, after almost 4 hrs of work I got a deck plate made for the 5th wheel servo. Unfortunately the plate i had to work with was not long enough to cover entire deck so I installed the original to fill it in for now. Wow, there is not much room for error when installing that servo! Turned out that the frame rail extension mounting bolts are right where the servo needs to be. It took alot of trimming and grinding to get it in there!

Thats it for now, time to get back at er......thanks for looking

Thanks for the heads up. This smoke generator thing is a experiment. The cons are: white smoke not black , leaves a oily residue , lack of durability . The pros are: ????? Haven't found one yet. Maybe that's why I don't see many trucks with smoke? Come to think of it, today's electronic engines don't smoke! .......Atention ! Smoke generator for sale ! Never used! Lol

Thanks, glad you like it....I wanted to wait until all is done to post pics but i cant wait!...all thats missing is Johns mitered bull stacks.... enjoy!

using an old step from the plastic fuel tanks I cut it to size and made a step for my new space behind the sleeper.

I cut the heads off of cotter pins to make air line ends lool like glad handles!...lol

Thats it for now. Thanks for lookin

That's bad a$$ looking Mario! Love the stretch looks much better with it!

dmess62 · #52 08-04-2012, 03:36 PM

Much better with the stretch. It would be nice if the stock truck trucks came with a little longer rails. The trailer looks good also

Thanks dmess62. I agree. Both truck and trailer are a little short coming from tamiya. The trailer was just too short and the truck cab looks way too big for the frame. Now with the stretch, things are actually normal lookin. I'm not complaining bout tamiya , I think they hit marketing genius with the king hauler. It can be a Pete or a Kenworth....it can be long or short. Correct me if I'm wrong but, variety and options are the spice of life correct?
