Home made chip box

[Firestorm]

Hi guys,

I've made a MK1 chip box for the back of my double cab Ford Ranger and think its a bit small.

I made it out of wood as a pattern so I could adapt it easily, and I want to make it bigger!

I'm fairly sure the payload is about 1ton, so was hoping some of you already have one or know of one's dimensions that would fit around 1ton into.

Before anyone starts, I know every tree is different etc etc etc, i'm just after a rough estimate of dimensions.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I work on an average density of 350kg per cubic metre for fresh chip.

Thanks Peter, that's great info. I'll knock up MK2 on that basis and go from there.

Saving the pennies for one of your tipping backs.

Dig through the arb trucks thread and I put a big silly chip box on a crew cab Navara. That should give you an idea

 

Date wise go back 2 years and a bit

No the one on your single cab navara is the best!! It must be five foot off the deck of the pickup. It must hold the same as a mog lol
