Tipper kits

That's roughly the plan. I do have to move the fuel tank filler. As it runs into the old body. This will need a new mounting area. So in I'll have to build that aswell. The body that's on it is on a 4inch lift. It also has some big tyres. So will have to make some wheel arches into the box, maybe. It's a maybe as with the sub frame of the box it will lift the bottom of the box up. But with suspension travel it may become a problem.

 

So will need to put a ton in the back of the hillux to measure the travel properly.

 

The fabrication is the easy part. I have no problems doing this, just takes time to ensure everything is nice and square before the final weld up.

 

And a few measurements of the frames to ensure the ram will be able to sit where it needs to. And adding some spacers where the chassis bends and curves so the sub frame sits nice and square.

 

Form e the hardest part will be the fuel filler, may need to investigate if there are any issues with mot testing and it's position. I can't move it very far as the tank is high up on these anyway. But should be able to clear it under the box.

 

This is how I did the fuel filler, you wont have any issues as long as its secure and not leaking

 

 

I like the trunion mount rams because you can get it all nice and compact.

 

That frame is made of 40mm box and the frame holding the ram is 50mm

Ok. Guess that answers the fuel filler problem. Thanks.

 

I do see and know the advantages with the multi ram, but for a kiss (keep it simple stupid) effect I will keep it to the single ram unless it otherwise come apparent that the multi is what is wanted.
