Default Grand Hauler Parts?

Any leads on where to buy Grand Hauler parts trees? I'm really only after the headlight housing and lenses. I saw the parts tree with the light housings but its $44 on ebay, plus I still need the lenses for them.

Have you thought about going with another headlight instead of the grand hauler one’s ? Garden trucking sells some nice alternatives.

I'll take a look at those. Im looking for a slightly smaller setup then the ones i made from the rear bumper lights that I use on my rig.

I do like the looks of the dual headlights from Rick @ PMD. Perhaps I'll order up a set of them for the log hauler build.

I agree they look good and price is fair too. I have them installed on the king hauler.

Thanks, your setup looks awesome. Haven’t gotten around to installing the lights on the trailer yet but I did glue the lenses in. Rick at Garden Trucking sells some lenses that fit well.

Very nice set up, trucks and trailer look great. Is that a RC4WD lowboy? Were you able to automate the gooseneck connection or is it still manual?

You might be able to get lens made from Lynn (TC1cat, I'm not sure of his screen name but think this is correct) but he is listed on the vendors page.

Happy Trucking,

Jim

Correct that’s the RC4WD lowboy trailer. The gooseneck is still manual for now but RC-Welt is working on a automatic one that they plan on selling. Here’s a video of it in action
