I plan on getting one to become a daily driver with a dump body add some modifications to it to haul my tools and air compressor and welder. When i used to cur grass for a landscaping company i feel in love with these npr trucks on how they handle and sit up higher. Plus pickups today arent as tough as they used to be built.
That's the same way I do it except I have the truck right up near the bed not a mile and a half away lol. Take the dingo and scoop it right out of the truck
I always have a tarp down behind the truck and I scoop until it's mostly empty have the truck raised some you can do it with a dump trailer too. There's hardly any mess when you're done.
Epic project! Only thing that strikes me strange is that outcrop cant. stone that looks like a diving board without a diving hole dug underneath... looks like it drops into a few feet of water. Anyone jumping off that is going to get hurt.
Everything you did in this video is wrong. Every major sealant manufacturer says backer rod has to be used in this type of joint to control depth and provide the proper sealant contour it also does a few other things critical to proper sealant function Those joints should not be dampened and should be primed. ( read the Sherwin Williams literature it specifically says joints must be clean and dry and for best results primer should be used and joints deeper than 1/2” should have backer rod) That is siliconized acrylic latex. The lowest quality sealant available. Professional caulking companies will never use it on exteriors. You say 5 or 6 years like that’s a long time. Properly installed ,quality polyurethane should last 20 years. Properly installed quality silicone should last 30 years. Properly installed ,quality ( this is fairly good quality but it is acrylic latex and should only be used for paint prep and never as a watertight seal in moving joints Sherwin Williams is a paint company and their products are geared toward painters) acrylic latex lasts on average 7 years.At least read the product literature when you don’t know what you are doing. There are 5 basic rules for ANY caulking. 1 clean and dry joints. 2. Use backer rod whenever possible. 3. sealant should be 1/2 as deep as it is wide. But never less than 1/4” or more than 1/2” deep. 4 dry tool 5 use the correct sealant. Caulking is not that difficult. But the basics must be followed for the best results. Always follow the manufacturers literature.Not just the product label. I have been a professional caulker for over 45 years. These are not my opinions. They are the industry standards. For good reason. I am amazed at the amount of how to caulk videos that are absolutely incorrect. Residential sealants last an average of 5 to 10 years. Commercial sealants last an average of 15- 30 with a very large amount lasting 20-30. ( there are always outliers)Videos like this are a huge reason why residential sealants fail so early.
well ram is not a good brand, the only good thing about them is the Cummins made engines, also diesel is way more efficient for heavy hauling and heavy trucks, diesel has more energy than gas
@@hoytballard5504 personally I don’t think they are smooth at high revs and the controls are set really wide apart it’s a weird set up. Would go for the Takeuchi all day long.
Nice work truck, that color and chrome hits different, I own a 2015 white color but I work doing fences here in houston tx I have installed on it strobe lights, reverse led lights 10" screen radio ,a train horn "" but mine it's a diesel engine
Really well thought out. Can you lock that fuel set up so folks don't help themselves? I like the addition of the spare tire carriers for the mower tires
I think it is really worth it to have a hemi instead of a CUMMINS, at least when it comes to tow a trailer like yours, I mean the Cummins is gonna tow it like its nothing and really effortlessly which might be way too much power like for just towing that sort of trailer, whereas the hemi might feel like the engine is doing some effort, but even so it works good and is able to tow even much more that what your trailer weights so that's what that 5500 was designed and built for!!... Ohh And beautiful custom job by the way!!
How much more was it ordering it? With that size door and a longer tongue. Please Comment back, I like those 2 features that you did extra. It's always good having it done the way you want it right from the start.
Had to pop in and saying hello. This video came up in my suggestions, and I had to watch it.😊 I’m living just a few miles outside of Östersund. Welcome back of you get another chance to get over here!
@mulderoutdoors is there anyway you could give me some info on the springs for the rear ramp? I have a ramp on a truck which i extended and the springs are too weak now. The ones on your truck look nice and beefy and when you said you could lower the whole gate as one piece it made me very interested. Thanks if you could help!
