  1. Trying to see the made in taiwan sticker lol looks like a toys r us special
  2. Cant hurt having a go at drilling the spot welds see if i can retro it i have two both with crappy wires cheap ass nothing built to last especially for that price
  3. Just noticed wires on my dosko 2000 stumpy electric clutch looking abit worse for wear can the unit be opened and new wires put it or does any one have a second hand one. Cheers:confused1:
  4. Do you have the number of this grahem fella. Brought a new saw today but would like the other one working to
  5. Just got this problem with my 200 it wont idle and as soon as you rev it it bogs down unless you gently rev it then it will reach full revs tried another carb no difference compression is fine no internal bore damage. ???
  6. LOL Think i agree but if we did not have them we would lose some amazing trees.
  7. We applied for thinning out and was refused so had to stick strictly to 20 percent. The problem was massive internal epicormic growth made climbing very difficult. I know exactly what your saying me an the customer agreed to but im not one to piss off the council lol:laugh1:
  8. An oak we did friday All abuse welcome lol
  9. Went on the weight bridge today for my specific truck which now has custom chipbox 10ft ally body its obviously a crewcab also climbing gear and usual tools per day. Plus 85kgs of me. with no load on it was exactly 2500kgs unlaiden. Which means it can carry 1 tonne hope this helps other crewcab drivers. And most normal tippers are 2350kgs ally maybe 2200kgs
  10. They aint a kg lighter i wish. They are just as strong as steel but roughly 30% lighter and yes on a long job they do make a difference. The velcro is comfty quick and easy to use. I have them so i think there the best simples.
  11. All good stuff to know. Got a 10ft ally back on it how much would some one guess i could carry.
  12. This aint a career for money making. Hard work crap pay mucho enjoyment.
  13. Can u get a decent amount of chip on and how would you know you have overloaded the front axles. I know happy springs or just above level for the rear.
  14. So is that an official figure 1.25 tonne capacity. Thats not to bad so almost exactly the same as single cab.
  15. The problem is i have been offered one with ally body told weighs under 2 tonne or there abouts. I aint a fan of crewcabs but ill leaning to the darkside. Any one got pros and cons compared to normal size tipper. Would appreciate helpful advice.
