Blimley nice body

[Alex O]

No I just have that one vehicle and run a tw125 timberwolf and only take kit that I need for the job or jobs at some point I will get a dyna or Isuzu with same type of back with the barn doors on it for safety. But suits my domestic work that I do

The sticking point with your set up most be being able to tip regularly and free I should imagine? I would image the 125 partners well with that truck, although a capable machine it doesn't have a huge output.

Had my chipper for 6yrs and has been great that's are some jobs where I have to maybe do 3-4 chip runs a day on some jobs but if it's labelled free people will take it[emoji6]I have access to trailers but don't ever use them. My chipper is a 2002 model with a Honda 24hp engine in it and the stress control system I updated a couple of years ago and still all going well but I've had the big 11ich greenmec behind my truck and still tows well

I have an 09 l200 which has half ally body then I put some boards in to take a little more bit like your hilux when full it sank right down. Did going from 5 to 7 springs make a big difference? as I am thinking about doing the same. I have a schleising mx200 that weighs 1150kg so when loaded with chip and chipper it really sinks at the back.....

Yeah definitely recommend the 7 leaf springs, got mine from midland rd springs around £360 I think but well worth it I raised the back up like a tonka truck but a few months of graft they beded down nice. My hilux is a 09 plate also. When I'm chipping we have to raise up the back to chip over the support bar and close the back doors also helps with less mess around the truck and chipper, every little helps [emoji57]

4x4 arb trucks so useful. Clearly can't get as much in but off-road work can't be beat!

Nice looking truck. Who built the body and if you don't mind me asking what was the cost?

 

Thanks

Not sure who built it but the truck was from Watford commercials and they use a local company for the conversion think it was around £1500-£2000 for the back to be made

Cheers for the reply, very smart truck. Don't suppose it has a badge on the back from the body builders by any chance?

No nothing but I wouldn't recommend them who ever they were quite a few snags to sort out when I got it
