hauler

You better lock up those ramps or park ON them.


That turned out nice!

Absolutely. 200 lbs of clean aluminum that crack heads would scrap in a heartbeat.

All I need now is winch wiring, an air hose repair (oops)
And some other small odds n ends. Radio, washer pump, and fix some leaks.

I like it. I'm also building a big hauler

That's going to be sweet. Speed holes and all!

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?

Discount ramps? Which ones did you go with and what did they set you back? Look NICE.

That looks like cdl territory

They're the 5k lbs 16 foot. Hook end. 1500 after shipping.

Back from Evans.


I am happy with this setup. :D

It looks like it would haul way more than you have on it.

 

[Rix]

That's for absolute certain.

 

[KarlVP]

I'd wheel it! :awesomework:

I thought I seen you today, but it musta been your twin! Truck looked the same but had a couple wheelers on one flatbed trailer and none on the truck bed. It was between Elbe and LaGrande.

Haven't pulled anything yet, definitely wasn't me.
The thing pulled the hill into Buckley at 45. Briefly hit 43.
I think I want to open up the exhaust ( the muffler is massive) and see if I can turn up the juice a touch. The turbo doesn't have much more to offer so it won't be much.
That and some oil leaks, and run it.

I thought the same thing. Those guys were camped on the 9rd just passed the Alder.

 

[Rix]

Which wired and works.


:awesomework:

 

[junkyard jim]

I need to load one of those once too! Wish I had a deck on my trailer.

 

[Rix]

I welded some aluminum legs to the side of the ramps so I can store them in the stake pockets.
This will be much more convenient.
I bought two locking hitch pins with the same key to lock them in.

 

[NOISYBOY]

Did you make the ramps or buy them?

 

[Rix]

Bought from discountramps.com

So brake rotors for this are no longer available. That's fun.
Stock calipers use phenolic resin Pistons.
So the right side seized. Metal to metal on the inside pad. Yay.
Found some good condition rotors used.

But it's back up and going now.
Not a lot of fun. Heavy parts.
