she's been a beauty.

 

done all i've asked of her, only problems have been a clutch, and cable.

 

its been sank, overloaded, over trained, neglected. and i don't any other truck in the world would have lasted..

 

if they made one with some guts to it, i'd have had one of those instead of a tranny.

 

seriously thinking of turning back to a straight tipper and keeping her.

after all, when i sell her, she'll only make £6/700 at most.

need her for the next three weeks, got three big jobs( for me anyway)

 

the body is off an 03 crewcab ldv, had cage sides which i swapped for ply.

then had the box made to fit. its very good

i can get 3 saws, 2 hedge cutters, l/reach hedge cutters, 2 strimmers, blower, climbing kits, lowering kit + big box of accessories in it :)

 

can't decide what to make the new back out of though :confused1:

These are our two trucks. The mitsi has just done 41000 miles. It has already gone through a set of BFG A/T and is on its second clutch (predecessor to my boss pulling too much weight on site). It has a 2 inch lift kit all round and is the better of the two off road.They are cleaned every 3 months or so. The Ford Ranger is the big bosses. It has a Superwinch 5000 on the front and has full underbody protection. It has a nice 3 litre V6 under the bonnet so it flies along. The ride in the L200 is a bit "boggy" but in the Ranger it bounces about.
