Exclamation Re: KH Beam Hauler

My helper Chuck was too small, Had to make a holder for the job. Note the countersunk screw, that sucker will self-center the rim and hold it snug for the operation.

I'm loving the creativity, making regular rims work as super solo rims!

Thanks, Skeeter, Yes I like to make stuff the easiest way possible but not give up on functionality and performance. I am very pleased with these tires, they look good and the traction on loose surfaces is way better than other tires tested, I think they will be the ultimate choice for dump trucks and trailers.

Right after, I de-chromed 50 pairs of rims. No, I have no clue, all of sudden they were there, on the evil buy. I think a year or two on the market by now.

Loving all your builds!
How did you mount the flatbed on your fifth wheel?
Any pics of the underside?

Thanks for that Bo!
Quite similar to how I set up my 1:1 truck, I normally strap a sleeper under the rear end to support the back and stop it bouncing.

I was thinking swappable bodies would cut down on the amount of trucks i'd need to build haha!
