Chipbox weights

[Dean Lofthouse]

I made a materials list for building a chipbox on my 130.

 

Making it out of 14mm plygloss with aluminium corners and posts, basically just like a wagon body, but instead of the roof being thin see through fibreglass it will be the same 14mm plygloss as the sides, so a complete box open at the back and the sides go right to the back.

 

All materials not including avdel rivets and sealant is £1000 inc delivery.

 

It would be one good looking chipbox though

dean, what do you estimate your pay load to be wth this type off body

[Dean Lofthouse]

Im hoping a ton, because at the moment it's slightly under a ton

[Johny Walker]

is that a tree surgeons ton or a properly weighed ton:sneaky2:

If theres a box on the back, it isn't loaded till its full

So it can drive through a puddle

 

A 4x4 needs to have low box for pulling and shoving big trailers up steep drives as well as ragging privet hedges out abd tree trunks up slopes.
