Lever chain hoist and I would bet its less than 10 lbs total weight.
I suppose you could use a variety of haulbag/zpulley/ascender/descender type solutions for a tire your size. Ours is around 270+lbs and even on a multi-bag/multi-day wall climb I can't ever remember loading my haulbag rig...
When I did the cab insulation and and sound proofing project, the only metal I left exposed/uncovered were the reinforcement "struts" or ridges that run under the roof and sides sheet metal to form the rigidity for the cab - which are covered by the headliner. And then also the exposed metal...
Victorian, our experience with our kenworth these days (winter) is virtually identical btw. Owing to the large pass-thru we have in our truck as well.
It almost seems like it got worse - or at least more concentrated on any exposed metal available for thermal transfer - after I did our cab...
OK. I suspect your rationale is probably right on all counts.
Regarding your extraction above, what is your "helper" attached to on your rig to help ensure both halves move simultaneously?
I watched a similar extraction (in my driveway of all places) where a large tractor plucked a trash...
Good insight and ideas on the buried spare Peter. Did it work in that particular case - even below the water line?
Can someone help me on why this was particularly newsworthy? Maybe I missed something critical in the article. Certainly a cautionary tale but.... national news?
Another great example of how these vehicles can be molded to fit so many different use cases. Frankly, we wouldn't dream of having a rig without an indoor shower. So much so that we will often fondly refer to it as our extremely expensive mobile shower unit.
We could easily do without an...
The l-track is a nice touch. I'm getting familiar with it having put it on a multi-use trailer and then also installing it in the rear storage of our expo truck for securing loads in bumpy terrain. Its very handy and versatile.
Oh yes of course! I had forgotten. I'm glad you found it helpful - my opinion is worth every penny you paid for it! :)
Very excited to see it come together. Thanks for sharing and please keep us updated.
Nice to see someone who shares our desire for windows and natural light. Bravo. I can also say that the folks at Tulsa Truck have helped anytime we've needed it which hasn't been often but definitely critical when we did.
If, during your interaction with the folks in Germany you encounter...
