More people look at a train wreck than not. I think it’s all for views. I rarely see quality tree work on the inter web anymore. Lack of PPE, lack of skill, look at me fuckery to get views and comments. So for the most part I stop looking at their crap.
I’ve never heard of the customer supplying materials unless is something specific like bucket teeth or wear bar or something exotic. IMO 16ga anything on a splitter isn’t going to last very long.
You know what why don’t you rub a little salt in the wound why don’t cha. :nocausagracia:;)
I have a mix of job sites. Some acreage, some postage stamp with targets everywhere. My buddy called those places Disneyland, shit everywhere.
After pricing steel I’m gonna go the angle iron route and fab “pockets”. 5x2” 3/16” tube is just shy of $400.00 and more than I wanna spend. Angle and flat bar comes in around $250.00. And c-channel isn’t much cheaper than the tube.
Have you seen any accelerated salt corrosion with the channel? I’d think it would be a salt trap. I might go tube without holes and just squirt the bejesus out of it with fluid film every fall. Keep it debris free with a blow gun. Airspade lol, just giv’er.
That’s nice and simple!
It’s just an everyday flat bed not deck over. I’ve got a pic over in the BMG rake storage thread.
I’m probably going the tube steel welded underneath route. Full width with some kind of drainage/debris holes yet to be determined. And I really like the simplicity of that...
Title kinda says it all. I’m looking for storage ideas of forks on my mini hauler. Mostly what you guys have and use to secure them. Locks, chains, latches, pins whatcha got some pics would be amazing? Thanks!
Yeah but all that room of the crew cab you could take out the seats and really customize the hell out of that. If you didn’t have a crew. Some shelves, full width slide out drawers, oh my! Weather tight and secure.
$30k sounds like straight up rape to me. It’s not like it’s rocket surgery it’s just a flatbed on a cab chassis with tie downs. I would think $4k in materials at best and two weeks welding in your driveway. Don’t forget the welding blankets to protect your glass and paint.
