Hilux tipper project

[T & C Tree Services]

thats a concern of mine, but i dislike having to move everything out of the truck just to chip into, if i leave stuff in stacked against the tailgate, everything gets full of dust and fine chip. Did you use the truck for chipping into beforehand?

 

Once. Greedy boards all over the place. Chip spraying everywhere and then shovelling it out by hand. Never again!!!

ive been doing it for 12 months now, not every day, but enough that a full load of a big tall box you get a bit tired doing it!

 

with the amount that can fit into a single cab pickup, a tipper is ideal for these as they are good narrow access too, and with 4x4 capability its handy for some of the work i get.

 

id ask if you had any plans but i suppose its a case of mocking somethng together and welding up what fits. This thread has given me some good ideas for a summer project!

Getting there. Sign writing and a few other finishing touches and she'll be ready for work!

That's brilliant, like that very much! Particularly like what you've done with the tail lights....!

I love that box you made. I have an 87 Hi lux that I absolutely adore. May become a copycat.

Only pict I could find. Not trying to hijack thread as I'd like to learn more about the piston set up. Thought I'd try a pict....only one I could find.

 

Very easy picture posting set up.

 

Hi everyone from Mr. Newbee.

I have had a very similar body built onto ours and its a great truck. The main problem you have now if its the same as ours is it weighs 2000kg on the bridge and the max weight is 2500kg. To help the problem ours has a set of coil springs in between the bump stops I think its a common trick in the hilux world and the springs must be sourced from another vehicle. For rear lights the bodybuiler fitted a set of iveco pattern lights which suit it well and gives you four rear side lights which is handy if a bulb blows.
