That IS an option. But not my first choice.
Thought somebody might be in the know.

I always wanted to throw a 12v in an old Loadstar.

If you get bored i'll let you throw one in my Loadstar! :D

 

[Rix]

Now they're telling me they can't figure out how to insure it. :mad:

 

[unimogken]

What are they saying?

What did you tell them it was or did you show them a picture?

I ran into that problem with my F550. Due to the GVWR, most companies wont touch them, you'll need to get a commercial policy on it. I'd check with Progressive, that's who I had insurance through on it initially.

I ended up switching everything over to State Farm, they were able to insure it as a personal vehicle policy instead of commercial, not sure if they could do that with something as big as your rig though.

 

[Rix]

They're saying commercial is all they can find.

Ozanich got me a policy through progressive. Gtg

Are you sure that's Peugeot and not Fiat diesel? Last I heard they owned Mack.

RVI
Even has Renault diamonds on it.
which is funny because if it was renault car I wouldn't want it.

My brother had his F550's, and his H1 Hummer that was built into a fire truck all insured thru State Farm without any issues...

Now I need a winch, need to weld on d rings, and need some straps.
Which brings up a question......
Axle, tire, or frame straps?

 

[WA-Wheeler]

I'm partial to axle straps. Have had less drama towing :corn:

 

[hlb3]

I personally don't use anything but axle straps

 

[boardbysled]

Axle Chains.:awesomework:

 

[Rix]

Seeing a trend here

 

[Harvester of Sorrow]

Axle.

The only compression that the chains and straps see is the very, very small movement from tire compression.

Frame/body will seriously slack the straps as the suspension cycles.

 

[zuk88]

I've ran tire straps for years with no issues.

 

[junkyard jim]

Axle straps plus a body movement limiter of some kind.

Something like that ^^^ is fine, yes?

[hlb3]

Those would be fine. I personally like separate axle straps and tie-downs, that way if the axle strap gets damaged or worn, it can just be replaced separately rather than junking the whole thing. I have replaced all my axle straps once and only had to replace 1 tie-down (the ratchet mechanism broke).

I don't like those because
A. I've seen the twisted hooks break
B. The metal loop that sleeves over the strap works as a pinch point on the strap and I've seen them sever the strap.
I know lots of people use them but I prefer seperate axle straps and and straight hooks

Separate strap style

 

[WA-Wheeler]

I got Summits separate strap style ones with a nifty carry bag for a a hundred I believe :awesomework:
