Blacked Out Knight Hauler
 
This is my Knight Hauler, just wanted to share it. Trailer is made by Freddy. I added half fenders, rear mud flaps behind first trailer axle, and rear D.O.T bumper. Now for truck, it has custom stacks, deck plate, full bearing kit, custom tail lights, bull guard, PMD CB whips, headache rack, chains and binders on head ache rack and a custom paint job. All of this is with the help of Tamyia Cowboy and his side kick Tristan (son).

This is quite possibly the baddest knight hauler I have ever seen! Looks great and stands out with the black rims instead of the usual chrome. Where was the headache rack from? Looks really good.
Trailer is very nice too with the load chained to it, very realistic looking.
I spotted this tractor in a few of Tamiya Cowboy's photos, glad to see it introduced properly.

Took me a while and a new computer on how to figure out posting pictures on here. The head-ache rack is from a guy named Melvin from (M&J CUSTOM TRUCKS) Thanx for the comments!

Really sharp looking Knight Hauler you've got along with the trailer!!

Beautiful trailer!!

..and a nice Knight to pull it. I think the Knight would look even better w/o the bull bar.. but then I don't like the Tam bullbar anyway..

Cheers

Not to high jack your thread Diesel Demond, but that's one of the reasons I got a custom BB made to suit the Knight, no offence to anyone but when you see the tamiya BB on a few rigs it doesn't sit well and doesn't look like a modern BB should....

It would be nice if Tamiya re designed the BB or made a BB that suits different front ends on there rig range and or when they come out with a new truck they included one in the kit to suit the model not just one generic BB and thats it.....

Cheers Tracy

Great work Diesel, liking the black out theme. Where did you get that headache rack? It's the nicest I have seen.

What he is asking guys is what do you think about making this a Tri Axle truck??

I say leave it and stretch it 2 inches..

Air foils, high rise sleepers and heavy hauls do not mix, just my opinion.

Trailer looks really good w/your finishing touchs.

Great looking rig! I love the black wheels. Where did you get the Freightliner logo for the front? I found some KW ones, but I'm not sure that those would be the right ones for a Knight Hauler.

The truck looks bad arse, it reminds me of the freightshaker from Live Free or Die Hard
But I agree Freddy. Lose the cattle cage and stretch it/lower it.

Re: Blacked Out Knight Hauler
 
Thanx guys ! yeah THAT COW EXPLODER has saved my butt a couple of times when i was a rookie driver! if you look at it closely its been glued about 6 different times! now im a better driver. Im likeing the stretch idea. i just saw a tri axle knight on youtube and didnt care for it. gotta see it then make a decision . im just glad it worked out that way this time!hahahah the freight shaker logo came from the garden trucking site and the head ache rack is from m&j customes.
