hi guys just wondering does any one use the merc crew cab 311 or 313 giving it some thought think our wagon might be about to retire

Ok nothing special but got the Ranger sign written. Btw does anyone have any recommendations for a decent winch that fits on the front?

The Landy and its HL14 may have to go, I know the electric ones are not as robust, but for pulling over leaners they are ok.

Nice aluminum bed Brendon.We have the same one on a 2013 single wheel 1 ton chevy at work and love it.Did you do the install yourself?If so any complications?Cost?Very interested in putting one on my personal truck as the load handler is getting really annoying and cant seem to like the idea of a dump insert.

 

Thanks Steve Baker

Here is our "evolution or revamping" of an Arbtruck

When it arrived it was white, had a dent on the tail door where it had crumpled on the tow bar when being tipped, had a mainland Reg plate and the tool locker was 14" square with naft locks and the whole compartment leaked.

 

 

So we, re-reg'd it, resprayed/coloured it and unsealed the chassis, fixed the tail door so it floats over the tow bar, sign write and enlarged the tool locker with 24" coachfit sealed doors with intergal locks. And before anyone tells me I know it can only carry my packed lunch in the back before its overloaded - (that is if my packed lunch weighs more that 1120kg that is as I took it to the weighbridge when I'd finished
