I’m going to take a guess that your retired. And what a awesome hobby to do in retirement. I am a RC junky but my time mainly allows me for RTR RC’s. I hope I will be able to do this when I retire. And your craftsmanship is top notch, a great deal of detail goes in every project. Loved it 👍🏻

I LOVED this build when I originally saw it. I LOVE it even more now that I've seen the custom built side dump trailer that JMI built to match this truck. I love the project even more now that I've found out the truck & trailer were built for a customer in the Pacific Northwest! I'm optimistic that one day I might be able to get video of the completed builds married together & working!

Wow Bob, my favorite truck yet! No wonder this is your personal rig! You should do a custom trailer to go with it.

Hi Bob, hope your in good health!! It's been quite awhile since I've seen you!! I know you had some health problems in the past, and I sincerely hope that is all behind you now!! I think I speak for all of your subscribers, when I say, great to see you back, and hope we will see you more often!!! God bless, and thank you for sharing friend!!!

Wow, what a beautiful truck Bob. You knocked it out of the park...great combination of color, rims, and assembly techniques. I love the rear decking and painted tanks.

Good morning Mr. Bob! You got skills 👏👌beautiful Tamiya grand hauler! And wonderful videos. 😎💯👍👍👍👍

This particular series got me excited to build another truck... I have sold off all my Scania and Man's and trailers, but I have not made an American style rig... Thanks for the great price on your website sir, can wait for it to arrive.

Again, great attention to detail. You really are a smart dude. Thanks so much for sharing. Your build are among my favorites to see take shape. Another amazing build.

What a beautiful looking truck, looks like its from the 1950s/60s with the colour

Beautiful build, those servos I bought from you are working great with my hauler build. Thank you so much for your videos they are loads of helpful information.

Wow Bob ! Top notch, master . Thank you deeply to share your knowledge . Dang it looks good !

WOW!!!!!, thank you for all the great ideas for my next project!

Fantastic 👏 I love that colour… It’s like seafoam green

YESSSS. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TI FINISH love this build

Really great looking truck. I like the painted tanks and air cleaners.

Oh that's my favorite blue color bob. Excellent grand hauler

beautiful truck Bob. Thanks for the videos, they are really helpful in helping my own build.

this is amazing. The details and everything great job!

It was worth the wait.love the rig.

Luv Tamiya products - what a great color & build, Awesome Grand Hauler!!!

Beautiful KW Bob looks just like a W900 😉👍

Bob.... That is absolutely Beautiful!!! 👋👋👋👋👋👍👍 I honestly didn't think I'd like the Coral Blue... but I'm absolutely a fan now. It's gorgeous!! I'm still a bit stalled on my Grand Hauler, but parts are trickling in from China - including a Set of Aluminum Wheels! They're more late 70's appropriate, and like yours, really make the Truck POP. I am a couple of weeks away from a BIG order from you. I'm really looking forward to it!! 😁

I was not sure about the color either but it was duplicating a real truck. After I sprayed it I was convinced. Really a great color.

Enjoyed watching it well done Well worth the time

If you have a power outage just turn on the truck😊. Nice work! Looking forward to the next project.

Your skill is amazing, a beautiful realisation!

Why you did a great job and it looks just like the real thing because of real thing was that Louisville truck show this past weekend and it was a beautiful truck and it was a Kenworth the only thing different between the truck the real truck that was at Louisville did the one that you built his tanks for Chrome and he didn't have the blue lights in the bumper he had the orange lights but your truck that you just built looks just like the real thing so you did a great job man this is Ken I'm in Florida

Just wondering if your trucks are for sale. Or would you be interested in putting one more of these together the is the best looking truck that I have ever seen. I want to get a semi like that cuz that is his favorite color we had a fire a few months ago and lost everything he had for cars and trucks. His wish is to have a truck just like that one. But I just dont have the time to make one. Trying to clean up the house and working all the time.

Hello you have a nice truck. I bought one last year. It didn't come with all the pieces. I went to a hobby store and he ordered some of the pieces. It's been over a year and he's never got them. I even bought another kit, expecting to find the missing parts I needed and that kit had missing parts. I even bought the grand Hauler. The sound kit didn't come with all the stickers for the wires. I don't know where to get them. I wish I'd never bought it in the first place.
