Chip box fine tuning

[Carl1991]

Hi all, I recently purchased my first 4x4 and things are going well, if just like some advice as to fine tune my chip box. I'd like to know how much higher I can go. Currently 60cm above standard sides. Don't want it ridiculously high, but when I'm chipping, it seems to fill sort of 2/3 the way up then slug towards the tailgate and I have to keep shovelling up. I know its not the best but so much better than dropping a trailer on job before hand etc. Thanks

You need a half roof that can be tilted up, chip into the raised roof and it should fill much better, it will only fill about 3/4 full as rear door height is the limit

I go 1ft above the roof on mine isn’t too bad, but you want to get a back board to go above the tailgate. It’ll surprise you how much more you’ll get on.

I don't wish to be a party pooper but I recommend a good respirator to avoid ODTS. (or a tipper truck)

Serious stuff!

Or a new back on standby when u have broken yours bent over shovelling that out 5 times a day

Firstly...get a load handler, you really will not regret it! This was mine before I upgraded to a tipper. Had a rear door that came to about 4" from the top so could get a reasonable amount in

Not wanting to boast, but I've got quite a big one. If l was you l wouldn't go too big. Apart from looking ridiculous,  you can't carry the weight. When i made mine, l considered the height of the chipper chute, in hindsight l think l would've made it smaller with an adjustable deflector roof like someone mentioned

how does the tube liner stand up to being chipped onto?
