I Built The ULTIMATE Dump Truck (in one week)

You're only stuck if you need outside help 😃

[@fuhrermk92]

[@1nvisible1]

*Dumpbed needs 24' higher sidewalls.*

[@tommyandbellasadventures]

Maybe put rubber grommets though any hole you put cable or wires, help any rubbing which may cause damage

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

I've installed four MRCOOL unit's to date, including replacing the *entire central A/C system in my late mother's former home.* Best of all on that one, her old system used a 10kW resistance heater strip for heat. The replacement MRCOOL is able to heat down to -24°F, so no need for a resistance heater coil. My mom's electricity consumption was cut in half! MRCOOL systems rock!

[@paulmiller591]

That truck upgrade is way cool. Perhaps you could convert the old truck to become a water tanker/fire truck. It would give you fire fighting and an income option to hire out.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That would be a great use for the 1078!

[@TheStevedie]

This is a great idea.

[@aaro_n]

That's great because in the winter they can still run the snowblower with it also!

[@Ezmarii997]

I was just thinking about this. It's small enough to get into a lot of places that bigger water haulers can't get to. either beef up or add stand alone air compressor system and electrical system to consider running a welding box or air tools, extra fuel storage maybe, then a big 'ol water tank and pump system. maybe a winch or two for recovery options. then you have a robust repair or fab support truck with a lot of water available as well, an all in one utility for offgrid neighbors or friends. power, water, tool support - it'd have it all!

[@dylansadventures4696]

I am actually so jealous that you got your hands on a mk29 bed. You may want to reprogram your TCM to not jake brake as aggressivly on the highway by changing the target gear on the TCM to 5 rather than 2. Also adjusting your ctis pressures unloaded would be a good idea because of the new added empty weight. Good work. 505 hp tune will also wake the truck up ALOT.

[@dylansadventures4696]

Forgot to add the Jake brake will overrev the c12 to 2500rpm I’ve seen and high chance of blowing a rod out the block

[@MarkDurbin]

Love that you are putting up subtitles for someone with a slight northern English accent :)

What amazed me the most, was this whole build, AC for shop, lights and living quarters were all done by solar. Amazing.

[@GeneHutchings]

You should make a dump trailer out of the orange truck cut the frame and make a pintle hitch on the front

[@dmwi1549]

That will be so handy during demolition of the old house-2 dumps, plus old dump for Courtney to drive.

[@wesman7837]

​@@dmwi1549That would have been wonderful for the road build! That was definitely a missed opportunity! It would be great for slide in water tanks for a fire suppression tanker truck though! He could probably put 3,000 gallons in the trailer and 4,000 gallons on the truck and put a pump with water cannon and sprayers on each corner that could also be used to wet down the road when super dusty! 🤔 😬 😳

[@atubeviewer4942]

Dont forget to pull that netting over loose material/rock when hauling, the ticket will be costly if not, not to mention broken windshields and accidents it could cause.

[@Eridescent]

I have to admit I audibly went COVER YOUR LOAD when I saw that, haha

[@Jnike8715]

Yup standing back and admiring your successful project actually become fully functional is awesome. Great engineering skills and fabrication at your mountain top shop. Go for it!

[@Batsy77]

Just a suggestion - You should change out all of the wheels on your roll-around tool carts, welding machine cart, and plasma cutter, to all terrain tires so you don't have to continually lay down plywood in order to move things across gravel and rock. Would be beneficial when working remotely as well. Would make a fun video to watch!

[@wesman7837]

Depending on the weight of what he has in it you might not be able to find pneumatic tires for it unless they are WAY BIGGER! I think even the 10" tires only hold like 440 lbs. A tool box that size can easily weigh thousands of lbs! 🤔 😕 😌

[@Batsy77]

@@wesman7837 Obviously weight is a factor. I assumed that went without saying. I wouldn't expect those tires to be suitable for a mechanics roll around toolbox. I was speaking from experience with the welding carts, tool carts, etc.

[@slagmaker6780]

Kept both! The smaler one will be useful for jobs that don't need a monster dump!

[@thomasfriedmann8522]

Smaller dump truck would be nice for smaller projects. Build a drop in fire skid for protection (you have trees-there will be fire).

[@jesperwall839]

Here in Sweden we have used those mini splits for more than 30 years. Mostly for heat. Nowadays we use the same principle, but with boreholes 100-200 meters deep into the ground. Works great for both heating in the winter and cooling in the summer.

[@mrmotofy]

What size holes and is the lines coiled in there or?

Can I just say YOU are amazing to watch!! Thank you for giving us this gift each week. ❤

[@thisolesignguy2733]

Now's the time to modify the LMTV bed with some brackets. you can keep the dump bed on it, it'll make it easier to load/unload things on it. Make some mounting brackets for a fire suppression tank, grass sprayer, welder/generator, etc. Turn it into a tool/emergency truck since it's so reliable. And since you don't need it to be a dump truck anymore, you can mount brackets all around the bed without having to clean it out all the time. It'll be perfect for taking supply trips also, and helping the neighbors out in the winter.

Wow, lots of food for thought in the suggestions your knowledgeable/truly expert viewers are giving you!!

[@deadone99]

Please invest in a couple of fall arrester's for the bi-fold door before someone gets injured or worse. They come in many weight capacities. You would mount them at the top of the frame work for door and then to the bottom. It will amaze you how fast the door could fall.

[@olenilsen4660]

How would that work? Sounds like something that´s installed on wires, which broke in this case?

[@deadone99]

@@olenilsen4660 A fall arrester is a device that is permanently mounted at the top of the door and has a large cable that would be mounted at the bottom to the door. If the door were to free fall the arrester would stop all downward movement. The arrester needs to properly sized for the load. That being said it needs to mounted to a strong point of the building. On your second point it sounds like the cables for the door are undersized for the load.

Good job, that was a lucky thing to get that bed with tailgate and controls included and if that scoop was only half capacity somewhere down the track you will be able to build some hungry boards if you ever need to put more in. With the other truck, I would just wait if you don’t need the money, who knows what May transpire in the next year especially with your vision and adaptability to get more than one use out of something.
