Look on craigslist for a cheap forklift. I've seen a bunch lately in the $400-700 range in my area. You cut a hole on one fork to mount a ball and chain the fork so it won't pop up. You'll have excellent manuver capabilities plus you'll be able to all the usual forklift stuff life load handling, engine swaps and quick tire changes on that dually.



Good I deah but i dont know where Id put the fork lift:dunno

Well i'm glad other people have the same issue thought I was all alone here guess not Ill think of something probably try that front mount winch for now and see how that goes.;Sweet
On another note the truck is all sanded now and almost ready for paint have one or 2 more holes to patch up and then clean it tape it and then just paint it :thumbsup: should look nice when i'm all done

Well, it was a suggestion. I didn't know how large your garage is nor location of garage on your property. It might be possible to put a forklift in your backyard but I'd lay some steel or pour concrete so the forklift doesn't sink into the ground. The good thing about a warehouse gas or propane lift is it'll fit in a small place. One other thing is to leave in driveway but cover it.

If things work out I'll be getting a forklift in the near future:)

I have the same problem. I have a full size tent trailer, which is small compared to most other camping trailers. I was barely able to put it in the garage last time with my single cab f150, now I have a f250 extended cab. Not sure how I am going to get the trailer in and out next time. Maybe use the golf cart?

your gonna have to unhook and hook it to use the front mounted hitch, why not just use the jeep to put it away?

Cause were trying to get rid of the jeep thats one of the reason we got the truck cause the jeep is pretty undependable-cuss but that also an option for the time being while we still have the jeep
