Thread: My current project

A good mate owns a 1 tonne tray back and asked me to convert it to a tipper after much research we found a basic kit designed for falcon and commodores mainly Its been an interesting challenge making it fit and keeping it capable of operating safely when loaded to max. Tomorrow I make and fit the brackets to hold the Hyd power unit and wire it up. Then mod the tray to fit kit

This was a concern of mine when I first saw the kit but I am assured that there is enough off set to allow the lift by the manufactures
