The disease called "tuning" amazes even those for whom the car is a crumline, and not a toy day off. The annual Shell Superrigs show in all its glory demonstrates the American approach to the improvement of heavy trucks: completely immersed in chrome classic tracting tractors in a bright coloring.
Aerography is surprisingly rare. Additional light in the form of spotlights and headlamp owners are not used at all, but decorative lanterns put dozens, if not hundreds. Moreover, all cars are not exhibition samples, but real hard workers and demurrents.
The photo is the best exhibition interior.
All participants in the internal decoration style are similar: the abundance of chromium and diodes. In some - also resting in the ceiling lever gearbox.
As a prize, the owner of the recognized winner of the Shell Superrigs 2015 show - tractor PETERBILT 359, released in 1985, was presented with 15,000 dollars. Pay attention to the proudly curved workers platform. In trucks found on our roads, it is often, on the contrary, begged to the ground.
The figure on the nose is chic, which is devoid of bloodless. I met duckling, swan, chicken, skull, horns, a Catholic cross and something resembling the "Ecstasy Spirit".
Pipes that shock over the roofs seem to be highly high: the capotic cabin is significantly lower than the cardless, and the maximum height of the trailer in the US is slightly higher than in Europe. And without that scarce visibility ruthlessly sacrificed style. Add a minimum set of mirrors, blind American headlights and a huge hood - here's you and a ride simulator on a tank.
SHELL SUPERRIGS TUND TRUBERS SHOW: Dalnoboid Art
In the distant Texas, Kirill Mileshkin enjoyed a spectacle inaccessible outside the United States, show tunned trucks.
SHELL SUPERRIGS TUND TRUBERS SHOW: Dalnoboid ArtAs you know, tuning in the CIS countries are mainly carried out mainly cars, and no one ever thought of making tuning atelier trucks. Maybe, but I did not want to hear about such. We will try to consider theoretical part Opening Tuning-atelier trucks, and how it can be.
First of all, it will take boxing that is able to run even the highest cargo car. The height of the ceilings should be at least 4.5 meters, and the best of all 6 so that you can hang a beam with several telhelms. The gate, respectively, should be height from 4.5 m. It will allow tractors without any problems to travel to the box. The width will fluctuate, but the optimal size, as I calculated, is 5 meters.
The next step is the equipment. This is a pretty difficult question, because he demands incredible investment. So, the first thing you need to get is a bath for chromium or nickel. I believe that it does not need to buy professional from companies Stillor, Atwex or Stardex. It can be done in itself, there are many instructions on the Internet, you just need to calculate the sizes to fit any item.
The second stage becomes the acquisition of the lift, because without it. You can buy a new one, but I advise you to buy supported at first. So, you can safely save on the equipment.
Tools. This is a difficult question, and it is best to get to everyone because it is a truck and it will be needed here. Heads, keys, puller, screwdrivers and even the usual tester. The whole set, according to my research can be found for 20,000 rubles. The amount is impressive, but we are here and not the repair of the chassis "Zhiguli" gathered to engage in.
So, it seems to be everything, but not all. People will have to gain professionals who understand tuning and trucks, and also need a designer designer and an engineer who used to work with such a technique.
Since we all collected, you can go directly to tuning tractor. For example, I will take such an interesting and common truck as MAN F2000. The tuning design will come up with easily because everything is extremely clear.
Consider stages all the tuning process.
The first stage. Disassembly. We dismantle the following cabbage elements: bumper, headlight facing, hood, footboard and doors. Work for disassembling all of this in two pairs of hands will take, somewhere day or two.
Stage two. Definition of the front of work and the wishes of the customer. In this stage it is worth calculating everything. The designer designer should inspect the tractor to determine the front of the work, and the engineer is to evaluate the technical possibility of implementing the ideas of the first.
Stage three. Design. The designer designer on the computer builds the desired model, draws all the tuning truck, as well as separately it elements. It will also have to make technical maps with the size of future spare parts.
Stage four. Production of the necessary details, as well as the purchase of tuning spare parts.
First, consider what you need to buy and what is the cost:
Mirrors and attachments to them can be ordered from DERTECH. They will with chrome linings that are easily removed. Mounting is not normal, but the fasteners are perfect at the landing places. I found the cost of a complete set for your suppliers for 1300 euros.
Kangaroo front bumper. Found for 200 euros. He attached to the beam, and goes like from under the bumper.
Chrome lining on the door. They will be found problematic and will have to be ordered from Germany for 320 euros.
Visor under the windshield. Well, it can be found and order on any cargo car market or in the store.
Lighting engineering. Here you can "breed" the car in full. It was decided to buy 4 headlights on the kangaroo, LED tapes of white and blue, different small lanterns, which will be installed along the entire car. I would still put the backlight of the engine compartment and the night will be seen from under the radiator grille. The main thing in this matter is to have a fantasy, the hands of the place and harmoniously enter it all in the tractor. For the price I will not say, because it all depends on the number of lighting equipment. Since listed approximately 40-45 thousand rubles.
For interior decoration it is worth buying several leather colors, a leather substitute and curtains on all windows and a sleeping place. The cost of everything will be 10,000-12,000 rubles.
Aluminum and different aluminum profiles that will be needed to create a new footboard. The price is approximately 3000 rubles.Other passing materials.
Stage five. Let's start working:
The front bumper "metallized" (this is such a special fluid that makes the surface as if metallic). Now it can be sent to a chrome bath to be transformed.Some fasteners for lighting will have to do the most. Here, there is nothing terrible if you are specialists.
At the removed headlamp cladding, we set beautiful painted grilles. They will protect the headlights from stones and make a truck more harmonious. By their perimeter, you can put a blue-colored LED tape, which will serve as daytime running lights.
You can make a high roof of fiberglass. Include the instructions will not become, because materials on the Internet abound. I will only say that it is worth calculating all the sizes, as well as streamlord remains an important point. Installation of visor can be done on glue or bolts.
Let's go to the cabin. The entire salon can be transformed. Thank you skin breaths, as shown in the photo below. This process is quite heavy, but the professional seamstress will be able to create coves, and cover the items. By the way, I must notice that it is best to replace the seats. The most suitable option with man 285.10.Their cost is 400 euros per piece. The state does not matter because they still have to drag them with leather trim. It is worth remembering the harmony and balance of colors.
Painting.Typically, trucks are not repainted, but simply open with varnish. But, in our case, you will have to repaint the remaining cabins and apply airbrushing. The drawing on the body of the tractor always remains in fashion. You can recall the stickers that truckers glued onto the body, now Aerography came to replace it. The average cost of the drawing is 15,000 rubles.
The last step is to update the exhaust system, which can be bought for 2000 euros and chrome of fuel tanks (approximately for 3-5 thousand rubles).
At the end, I want to say that do not think to make engine tuning or gearbox. One inaccuracy in calculations and live a new power unit for 300,000 rubles. The only thing that can be subjected to tuning is to change wheels on chromed. Their cost is 1000 euros per 1 pc. And they are only produced under the order at the Ehmeller Tracking plant (Germany).
The story of the global tendencies of tuning, we completely unfairly bypass the senior participants in the road - trucks and buses. It would seem why to refine so utilitarian transport, if not to save fuel and, as a result, increasing the profitability of transportation? But it turns out, and in commercial transport there is a "dark side", moving on which, ordinary concepts of the type of profitability and carrying capacity lose their significance, leaving the place of creative and self-expression. And now we will tell about, without a doubt, the most incredible and distinctive phenomenon in this area - Japanese tuning, the name of which "deco.". Ready? Go!
In the early 70s of the last century, when the automotive industry of the rising sun, only started their way to zenith development, trucks of their own production began to appear on the transport arteries of Japan. Isuzu, Toyota and other companies considered this niche promising and released a whole model range of medium and low-tonnage cars in order to compete with a dominant railway transport. By the way, the successors of those models are mostly produced to this day. However, the demand for spare parts at that time significantly exceeded the proposal, and it concerned this in the number of body elements. Therefore, when it was necessary to quickly return a truck after a small accident, any blowing materials went into the course. And those of them that were not suitable for installation, were refined and established forcibly. As donors, the technique was written off after the Second World War, who caught up with the backyards.
So continue, in general, it could continue if it were not for the skillful hands of truck owners. Responsive truckers began to use elements of written off combat vehicles to give their own foundations of individual appearance. Body planes and cabins began to receive a bright color, and in the interior there appeared accessories-baubles, helping to brighten asphalt weekdays of representatives of this profession. Outside, the cabin was supplemented with dulls of pneumatic clusters, and large mudguards of all colors of the rainbow were installed behind the wheels. So on the roads of the island state began to appear trucks other than others with their appearance.
Perhaps we would not remember today about this phenomenon, but it, in turn, would not have anything if it were not for Japanese cinema. In 1975, the film "Torakku Yarō" ("Languaged") was released on the screens, which, like the Russian TV series "Truckers", was narrated by the adventures of the driver of a heavy truck. In it, the main character travels on a truck decorated with extra lights, bright mudguards, chrome-plated wheels, and its body is painted by images of the mountains and branches of Sakura. The guy leads a free lifestyle, walking along the bars and flirting with women, and therefore it is constantly in the epicenter of all the rest. The film directed by Norifumi Sudzuki has gained popularity and served to the further development of external tuning of large cars. This direction was called "Decal" - that is, "decoration, decoration of trucks."
With the development of the Japanese industry and technologies, the wagons began to figure out an increasing number of "frills". The first plan for creative truckers came out not the process of recovery with the installation of what fell at hand, and the desire to produce the maximum effect in the stream. Additional lighting appeared, including spotlights and neon lamps, and more unique and complex drawings were applied on the side of the vans. Transport dimensions began to grow long and width thanks to the whole designs instead of full-time bumpers. Under the sheets of aluminum and stainless steel, powerful power "skeletons" were hidden, without which all Mishur from shaking and vibrations would simply fall apart. In the end, such alterations began to threaten the safety of the road, and the power by prohibitions and prescriptions tried to reduce the newcomer movement to not. However, they did not manage to pacify the dust of "Deetners", so the number of unique trucks on the roads of Japan only continued to grow.
Today's decoral style scene can be divided into three groups. The first level of refinement is the personification of what it all began, but with amendment for the year of the vehicle. On such trucks, you can see only painted, and sometimes not the best way, the side, the shiny caps of the wheels and the different "stripping" outside and inside. They are easily recognized as the basis of the model, and the budget changes are minimal or equal to zero. Examples of such a budget and negligent approach can often be found not only in Japan, but also other countries of Southeast Asia. For example, the tourist buses of India or Cambodia affect similar "decorabies" through one. True, such cars can be attributed to the decorator style only with the stretch - the rare driver has an idea of \u200b\u200bthe existence of the style, simply carrying transport in accordance with its own taste preferences.
The second category for the most part "remained" within the limits of Japan and is less common due to a number of factors. The preparation of a truck or buse on style canons requires more time and forces than usually available between flights between flights, is weeks of painting, tin and electrical work. Of course, the cost of modifications is higher. Only light installations from laser and LED spotlights can pull on an impressive amount, not to mention the "painting" and the manufacture of large bumpers. The appearance of such a car on the road invariably attracts attention and causes a whole storage of reviews, as a rule, enthusiastically.
Finally, the third option is the highest level of Decal Development, then what this culture was decades. Due to the most complex alterations, such trucks rarely have admission to ride on public roads and stay, most of them, at exhibitions and automotive shows. To learn in them, the truck taken as the basis is hardly possible both outside and inside. Where there had previously existed the front bumper, the real decoir has a dance floor or other massive design with hundreds of light sources. Body elements of show-karov are covered with gilding or chrome - one bright colors do not do here. The final result is more like a giant transformer or spacecraft and only last time - on a car for the carriage of goods.
SCANIA Swedish Cars are often found on our roads. In 2004, the manufacturer has released a truck-based truck market, they quickly gained recognition among drivers, which led to the Truck of The Year title (International Award "Truck of the Year") in 2004 and in 2010. Cars are sold with engines of 9, 12 and 16 liters. The copy is shown in the photo does not look like a boring truck that we see on the roads. The tuned truck is equipped with the largest of the V8 engines, was photographed during the receipt of awards to get Truck of The Year title in 2008.
Another unusually decorated SCANIA truck, which, unlike many tuning cars, all the time in work. Auto named The Last Legend belongs to the 1996 German company of Christian Sperl Transporte, which, as it is easy to guess - is engaged in the wholesale supply of goods, such as gravel and sand, export of construction waste and soil. It is a pity that most trucks are not so original.
The history of the American company Kenworth began in Portland, Oregon, in 1912. For a long time, the manufacturer participated in the assembly of buses, but now these trucks are the main source of income Kenworth. The T904 model shown in the photo was tuned by a group of Australians from Victoria. Kenworth trucks use Empire Transportation LLC to transport passenger cars.
Scania without roof? That's right. Scania Roadster is presented in 2008. This non-traditional truck is prepared on the basis of the T. Series model equipped with an V8 engine with a capacity of about 1000 horsepower.
A vivid example of Pakistani tuning - Japanese truck Isuzu JCR is photographed on the roads in the vicinity of the Mountain Chain Caakorum on the part of the Pakistani border.
DEKOTORA or DECOTORA is the Japanese art of cargo decoration. As a rule, cars that fall into the hands of Asians decorate neon lights or lamps of ultraviolet radiation. Changes are not limited to the cabin and trailer - the Japanese equip the interior with strange gadgets. Decotora is used by both professional drivers and lovers.
The truck is presented for the first time in 1967. The specimen shown here was built in 1987. The car in the basic configuration has a Caterpillar engine with a capacity of more than 550 horsepower, but it was too small for its owners. The truck was equipped with an engine from the F-4 Phantom II fighter. According to developers, the car accelerates to 250 km / h, and its braking path exceeds 1000 meters. This monster.
KRAZ-214.
Kraz is a Ukrainian company engaged in the production of civil and military trucks. Initially, it created elements for the construction of bridges, but already in the 50s of the last century, the first trucks left the plants. KRAZ-214 was produced in 1957-67. The first prototypes were created in 1951. Cars are equipped with a 6.97 liter engine and more than 200 horsepower. The maximum speed of the model is about 55 km / h. In the photo we can see a strongly modified version of the truck. It is only known that the author of the construction is a citizen of Russia.
