Mr. Projekt's Cement Truck

happy to help any time Don!

 

Clean truck. I like that SSO bumper, but not sure if I like the LED bar in the middle of it, I prefer the all-black look to the front. Hmmm.

 

to each their own bud.

I live in WV where I need the extra lighting due to no street lights and an abundance of deer.... so it's basically paid for itself already by helping me see when I drive to work at 4am

 

Bruh............ That thing is looking pretty. Any reason you went with the Warn instead of the Smittybilt this time?

 

how heavy is the warn fairlead?? i’m wondering the weight difference between that and the factor55 one

 

found the Warn for $600 and I got 15% off w/ an eBay coupon so it actually ended up being cheaper than the SB.

the Warn fairlead is cast iron and pretty heavy as fairleads go.... I went w/ synthetic line so I already saved 30ish pounds from that... eventually, I'll go with an aluminum fairlead, but the cast iron one does its job for now.

 

Such a good looking ride. I "need" that front bumper

 

damn it’s iron huh! looks like i’m going to be forced to by the factor55 one (i think the it’s the lightest from what i’ve read thus far). i’m trying to save as much weight as possible so i don’t lose much height up front. thanks for the info

 

I caught mine on the group buy for end of summer... there are deals to be found out there on them!

even w/ the Iron fairlead, on OME 888 springs and 5100s I lost less than 1/8" in height. it's negligible.

How did you mount the ammo cans?

 

Just follow the instructions here:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/mount-ammo-can-to-bed-rails-how-to.420182/

it cost me about $25 all in. (including the ammo cans from Tractor Supply)

 

put the truck to work this weekend... big red oak fell on my buddies farm / vineyard, so I went and helped him cut it up and get it off of the trail

 

Did ya use the winch on it?

 

nope, but we got to use a pair of 50cc and a 75cc chainsaw! used the truck to haul all the tools and all that

 

Saw your for sale ad. So what did you buy to replace this truck? I only ask because my rear seat looks like yours....
