I didnt like how much trouble it was trying to get swing gate chain hooked up, and it didnt seem to secure, so I picked up a stainless binner at home depo and welded it for a more secure attachment.....hope my groundy figures out it the "Orange link" that goes onto the binner...lol

Always looking for faster and more efficient ways

Beautiful rig! I'm envious, I would love a truck like that. Where did you pick it up? I wonder if there are more available somewhere.....?

Yah that's nice man. Well done and thought out.

 

[Bixler]

Yep, looks even better full of chips!!!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Basically the set i want here. Nice...

 

[canadiantreeman]

Very nice. If all goes well for myself I'll be in the market for a chip truck next fall. Man, it will feel great to use a hydraulic dump!!

Exactly!

I've been chipping into my old ghetto 1ton a lot lately. A 1ton will hold a good jag of chips that's for sure.

BOTS, NICE! What's your first name?


Dylan, what are you running now? There are a few unloading tricks that I've seen and thought of while, yep, pitchforking chips.

This is going to sound minor, but I didnt like how far the big gear box ladders hangs down so low, they need to be up higher to access gear easyer, and being so low they were all bent up from Davey dude banging into stuff (mabey Bonner?..lol)





Welded on a handle above to have something to hold onto when pulling out gear

Love the truck and box set up! Time for a taller garage :p

 

[Steve Mack]

Me too, it's a nice setup.

I learnt to drive in a Ford like that but haven't driven anything but a cab over for a long time, lots of tight spots around here.

Got to get a couple of under body tool boxes for mine yet like yours, and they forgot to put the tailgate thing on so I pinched your idea, thanks.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Scott, a folding step stool might be great for setting outside there. Instead of holding on to go up a ladder, and holding on top while wrestling gear out, you have both hands free. http://www.feelgoodstore.com/cgi-bi...-07426201000&gclid=CNOGrsnik7kCFe1_QgodH18ACQ 17.5" H, folds flat.

I have the man-can box on my rig, so I can put a rigid step stool in there...so much safer and easier. http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Two-Step-Roughneck-Step-Stool/dp/B001CJZNPA/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_2_1

 

[SouthSoundTree]

A welded/ bolted on folding steel or aluminum step, like a RV has, could be best.

 

[BOTS]

Thanks all!... Sean, some good ideas there

Oh I need bigger garage in a bad way lol

I pull into garage as far as I can for the shade, soooo hot here
