Alaskan hauler KW off highway logger

[bitner]

This truck started out as a pretty much stock out of the box kit with some home cast resin rear wheels. It was one of the first trucks I built when I got back into it a few years back. I was never happy with how it came out so it went into the shop and got a major rebuild. I scratch built the grill guard, cab guard, 10' wide bunks, and most of the off highway trailer from sheet plastic and strips. I also used some metal castings my dad made up for me. The rims on the trailer are resin castings I made from the rims off the International dump truck. I left the sides of the hood off, and moved the air cleaner to the right front fender. I made all of the decals, and the truck is finished in Tamiya camel yellow, and British green. The front rims on the truck are from AITM. The first pic is what it used to look like.

She turned out real nice, and looks like she's hungry for some mud.

That's really nice! I've aways thought the Alaskan Hauler would look good as a logger.

Bill,

I like both versions. Never seen the Alaskan Hauler built as a logger. I must say it does have a very rugged appearance and looks at home in a logging truck guise.

Great rebuild. I think it looks much better.
