Re: MB Heavy Haul

My KH Beam Hauler got 10x4 and not liking uneven ground much. So i decided this build needed some extra Omf. 10x8. The KH II is all out 10x10 Your 6x6 is going to do just fine. ( All wheel drive is a must this days  )

Re: MB Heavy Haul
Here you can see the different width of the axles hole pattern. 2.5 mm x 2 is the diff. in measurement from mid axle to hole centre.

 I am learning everyday about rigs so I looked up on You Tube a truck like you're building and found something I didn't know existed. I watched a bunch of Mercedes Benz Actros SLT with dual front steer (axle added) and that I thought is a kit? Or builder modified? Just a learning experience.  'Anywho', just when I thought I satisfied my 6WD truck need (bought a CROSS freshly built) and avoided having to build something, now I see the need for a second truck! LOL!!! Does this happen often guys? By the way, I didn't want to hi-jack your thread with any pics or videos... just wanted to drop by and say how impressive THIS is and I blame you now that I see my truck collection will grow. And $$$ more out.

Re: MB Heavy Haul
That's Ok Panther.............Brace yourself for impact.........
I started hang on this forum when it opened. And before that the Garden Trucking forum. Took me a while before i felt ready to make any noise. 2013 i've had one truck a Globe Liner. Now a bit later it's a totally different story..........i'm still married though......... For me this is where i can relax and have fun.....don't need to compete or be better than anyone else just do my thing and learn from other people. If anyone like what i did or came up with i'm happy and that's how i like it. We all need something to do, and i'm sticking to that story.

The frame rails is King Hauler and a slight modification on the suspension in the front. The rear steering axles has a hole pattern narrower than regular straight axles. so the stock wouldn't work. I overcome that hurdle with changing a few parts around......Lesu springs and and brackets from. http://www.ebay.com/itm/stainless-st...72.m2749.l2648 And i use those for couplings to push and pull rods too. Now the fun begin with hooking up the steering..........
