[gensetsteve]

I have had a few pms about what I was doing. The post was started about a year ago and I went ahead and had a hilux made into a tipper hopefully you should see a pic. It cost about 3k inc vat with all the extra bits I asked for.

How much weight can you carry? I'm looking at geting a landcruiser tipper, but not sure the springs will handle that kind of weight day in day out. Do you get the springs beefed up?

 

i am jellous as i love the 70 seres landcruise. but we can not get them here in the uk. you can up grade the springs

We can get 2 cu metres of dry logs out in it. When I change the truck will move the body on to next chassis will pay more attention to pay load could be a king cab if it has room as seems to have best payload.

Steve could you post a pic of your truck from the side please, I;d liek to see the clearance of the body from the cab.

 

Thanks.

Steve, what rough figure is the weight of truck full and empty of logs? roughly speaking!

[gensetsteve]

Its just over 2 tonnes mt and 2800kg when full of logs. I cant find a pic side on but I dont think you can get your hand between body and cab if it helps.
