    truck crane location?

    hmm if I change the actual boom arm to somethign sturdier, because it is pretty thin stuff the thing shoudl be able to do 1 ton no problem. Winch and jack are rated for that , the base is nice and thick..damn boom is paper thin though. But then again 1/2 ton is 1000 lbs... But the question...

    truck crane location?

    yup thats basicaly what I have. Do you thing having it up against the backrack is and OK location? Or will I regret the lack of mobility? All I need to do is be able to lift up engines put them on the bed, and logs. If they are longer than 8-9 feet id cut em before loading, but most are...

    truck crane location?

    those skidding tongs...i assume they wouldnt be the best for actually lifting logs though? Thinkign maybe some 6 ft slings i have may be the best. I always carry a long prybar with me to help lift the log to slide the sling under

    truck crane location?

    That tool is what im thinking..now just to ge tit cheaper, thats is crazy expensive. Post could be made adjsutable. I could cut the entire lower portion off, its all round, weld a plate to the bottom of the head, and weld in square tube instead. Easier to drill holes through it...but would need...

    truck crane location?

    Two ideas. I got my littel HF 1 ton truck crane, and a 2500 lb electric winch. Was always goign to put it on the flatbed by the backrack, I would shorten it so it wouldnt stick up past the backrack so I can still get it into the shop. Decreases its effective use but, Id rather get into the...

    the bumpers not any lower than the diff. And thats the point, protect the steering linkage, which is pretty low on teh super duties. The connector was from amazon, Marinco 150BBI Still on the fence about more lights. WOuldnt look bad, might look strange. Kinda like a spider lol.

    Champion radiators SUCK!!!!

    indeed that is always an area of concern. On the spectra I sintalled, no special attention is paid in that area. Perhaps the plastic is thicker but unlikely. A flange/smooth transition of some sort would help support it. However if a rad lasted 30 years..I wouldnt be too mad about that breaking...
