Dude, I love it just as much as the real one. I've always wanted to build of a replica of it. But you beat me to it.

That sure is one sweet looking rig.
I gotta ask though, maybe its the style, but isn't it a little long or the sleeper a little short?

It's the new style "got wheelbase"

Those big tube stacks look really good, aluminum or stainless?

Oooooooooooh, Hauler.....it's sooooooo big....:omg:


That truck really is awesome! It looks great, simple, dark, long as a football field...attention to detail is flaweless. The big straight pipes, chrome tank straps, Alcoa wheels, and big chrome bumper are all indicative of a full scale trucker that loves his rig!

Stacks are aluminum 1/2" tubing from Lowe's. Cost me $5.00 to make(lol). Thanks for the comment guys.

Where did you get those sentercaps for the rear rims?

Hey Pete ask for chrome license plate bolt covers. The kit comes with 4 and a plastic insert. Put the plastic insert on before you put the wheel nut on. Then just snap the chrome cover over the insert. If you need pics let me know.

Looks great Jeremy. I know I love mine that Rod built for me! Not sure I could part with mine I dont think. I know it sure was easier having him do it but I think I would have done the same thing eventually. The stock Tamiya flatbed is just so short.

Pete359 have you posted pics of your trailer yet? i dont remember seeing it....
