I have a Ambulance body here I am/was considering. It is 12' long, Life Line brand, aluminum and insulated. They are STOUT. They seem to be built for collision survivability, which given how they are used make sense (running red lights and all). I think mine might be 2500lbs empty. I am also...

I have a fairly "weird" guy that I know locally. He showed up with one of those a few years ago. He had some heavy hard maple logs in it he wanted me to mill. Nice trailer, cool design. I would expect nothing less from Thule (good company). The only challenge may be the galvanizing. You may have...

The M101 is a good platform. It really isnt TOO heavy. I do have several M105's here (2700-3000 lbs empty). I use them on my farm for various things. I usually have one with 3 ton of small gravel instead of salt for my 3/4 mile long drive. I have also had the pioneers trailers, nice. I really...

I love the 450-550 set up. I wish my DRW CC/CC 7.3 F350 was a 550. Get the Ricksons. They may have an issue with you running singles because it will drop the legal GVW. Just tell them you will buy the 265 19.5's they have a heavier rating and i BELIEVE that will satisfy their concerns. Yes...

No mistake, you need to add "something" to the back so the axle IS in the middle. How about an XR650 / XT600 on a carrier platform at the back. Jronwood

I use two hole saws (two different sizes) to cut new seals from rubber sheet. Cut the outer first then the inner, . Make sure you generously cover the tiny vent hole in the flange, that is where they usually leak. Works for me and cant get any cheaper. I must have 30 jerry cans here and about...

I would AVOID a 6.0, PERIOD. Say what you want they may run fine one minute and all the sudden BAM, your dropping serious$$$$ for out of warranty work. I am a FORD guy thru and thru, I would not own one, I have had two 7.3's (one 550, and a current 350 CC 4x4) Bulletproof. You could spend...

I saw a lightly damaged cab over 4x4 like this sell GL and it went for 40K. YIKES. It was Loong, nice for sure but $$$$. You got a great deal, enjoy. Jronwood

Looks great, I want one too. Jronwood

PM'ed you Brian. I looked it up and if I had a 1997 or older F350 they would work. Darn, thanks though, Jronwood

Thanks for the input folks. I do.t do much off roading . Mostly pulling trailers, hauling etc. I plan in some extensive tripping, Canada, Alaska, desert SW. I have had several 550's and love them. I wish the 350 was a 550, so I know the limitations. I will be running highway and extensive...

I am an old Yamaha guy and picked up a mint 87' XT600. They dont have the aftermarket goodies but you can find them $1500 or so. This is my 3rd one like this, Last one I sold 15 years ago for,....$1500.(it is the zebra striped one, had a White Bros engine) Jronwood

I am definitely putting 19.5" tires on my 2002 F-350 DRW chassis cab. I am trying to decide rear singles or stick with duals? I do haul with the rig, both on the flatbed and trailers, so the duals would be nice. Any input? Here is a pic of a F-350 with 19.5". mine would be the same.(steel...

FYI, Verizon fleet trucks are showing up at auctions with NICE fiberglass utility bed, most are on 10-12' frames but some may be smaller, Call around to see where they get directed to sell in your region. Jronwood

Some have turned up on GovLiquidation, Looked pretty rough, perhaps removing the kickstands also qualifies for "demil"ing. Jronwood

24hours, Never met a crane or forklift I didn't like. I will have a 3200# Venturo on the 350 (that 's what is hiding on the back corner of the first pic) . Always lifting something. Jronwood

Nice rigs, I just sold my white 2wd 2000 F-550 7.3 (Locker and 391's I kept) and replaced it with a 2000 F-550 V10 4x4 (urban logging truck, "transfomer" rig as flipside Duece bed from white truck will fit over the custom low profile log bed) I did get another 7.3. I ditched my Ex cab 150...

I had mine over heat and come out at the front of the converter. Mine is a 2002 F-350 DRW, so it has a gauge and I knew what was happening and pulled over. It was local, back road, low speed (very little cooling available) AND CRAZY trailer weight. 53' Trusses, doubled (sistered together) 13'...

Just talked to a guy that went 8000 miles in 6 days. YIKES. Pittsburgh to Seattle and back (with his wife behind him on the seat) This was over this 4th July. WOW serious Iron *** His maiden voyage with a the IB guys was a "Great Lakes ride" on a Honda 90. He went around ALL the lakes!!!! Jronwood

I had a Warn M8275 8000lb old oil gear bath winch on a BOMB proof receiver mount, used it FOR YEARS. Around the farm, on the road, pulling "urban logs". Really like it. Traded it off toward a new truck (dude gave me $1000 for it, so out it went), I pulled one of two Ramsey's (9000 and 12,000)...
