TRUCKS...the Next Level Sled Hauler

[@Racer57]

I have to say, these kind of trucks are so much cooler than just something somebody built for fun/show. The practicality and actually using the truck for a job and tweaking it to your needs is way cooler than the lifts and crazy tires.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

We agree, this build was all about balancing function and style. Thanks for watching.

[@ArchipelagoEnt]

Morning coffee and watching this about trucks, gasoline, and sled.. good way to start Monday.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

No kidding. Thanks for watching

[@k2buildit]

Yup

[@k2buildit]

Nice Dan, you are very thorough and do everything above and beyond! Guess that's why your the "next level" man! I am glad you are helping our sport achieve the next level! We all as a big band of Brothers (and sisters) need to continue to keep our sport growing to the next level! And that means while we ride as well! We have lost some riding areas in Michigan the last few years from a few bad apples. We definitely need more guys like you who work so hard to help achieve more! Nice truck Dan, top notch!

[@jennings69]

would love to see the sled loading process, RAD rig

[@jeremysorensen6742]

It's nice to see a truck build that is useable and has a purpose other then looking good. Keep up the good work and keep these videos coming!

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thanks for watching Jeremy

[@bensmith5370]

Slick lookin truck! Love the fact that it’s multi purpose.

[@R1Kyle]

I have a Prius with a nice Thule roof rack, it is a sweet rig.

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

With the right ramp you should be able to roof top your sled.

[@k2buildit]

LMFAO, I never thought a guy with a Prius would be watching snowmobile videos..... Lol..... Guess that's why they say u can't judge a book by its car. Or something like that. Rock on with that Prius!

[@R1Kyle]

@@k2buildit Dude I really don't drive a Prius, I have a jacked up super-duty. A Prius would be a sweet sled hauling rig though.

[@justinwoods8775]

Where do u store the Caliber ramp when you have 2 sleds loaded?

[@SuperDodoe]

Dope...what about the sled ramp, where does it get stored?

[@cheeseymccheese7249]

Yea im wondering the same thing

[@SuperDodoe]

@@cheeseymccheese7249 I guess when you got his kind of skillz you don't need no ramp

[@Lilripper850]

Not fair how come you didn’t show us how the sleds come off. Where is the ramp?

[@nickscustoms269]

tjc1ny I’d imagine he backs up to a snow bank

[@cheeseymccheese7249]

How do you load it

[@k2buildit]

New drinking game, every time Dan says "guys" take a drink.

[@tonypellegrino8434]

where do you store the ramp??????????????????????????????? :~)

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Love the flatbed... I've gotba 05 8ft box 4 door f250 4x4 6.0L I'm really considering taking the box off n building a sweet flatbed to haul my sleds, ATV's, and dirtbikes . What is the width of this deck.

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

If you want to try a really good heavy truck tire, Bridgestone w919, I run these on my logging truck, all 10 tires, rarely have to chain up to come out of the bush roads here in Ontario. If they make them in your tire size I'm sure you'd love them.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thats good to know. Thanks for the tip.

[@mrlariata9290]

That is a beautiful truck along with some of your other builds.

[@carriejares4240]

We use a red 7.3 powerstroke 6 door with a sled bed and a two or four place snowmobile trailer

[@i2rtw]

That is almost exactly the truck I’ve had in mind that I would want to build.

[@danbuddy6194]

'18 MiniMax, S&B intake, trashed drive on/off Voyager I completely rebuilt. All for my '18 800 174 RMK.

[@GoingToPlaid]

The xl with neoprene is genius and super functional. All of it is sick.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thanks Jeremy

[@miketippett3159]

Rad truck Dan! Hats off to the Blair Man and his fabrication skills. Hope to see you guys this winter. Peace out!!!!

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thanks Mike

[@christophereric1407]

Looks fantastic. Two years later, how has the custom work and powder coating held up to road salt and sand abrasion?

[@AkatarawaJapan]

What a brilliant beast...but it wouldn't get to the roadends here in Japan. We use 660cc 4WD mini trucks. Ride up planks to load; gun it off the back to unload. Somehow it works.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

That sounds really cool.

[@k2buildit]

Nice!

[@smcox1991]

Truck looks killer! Some lug nut covers would look nice and finish those wheels.

[@levikroeker560]

what about sled ramps? how do you grt the sleds off with that 2x4 rail at the back?

[@cadenrichins1077]

You should do a KZbin of the seal coating!

[@marcosgranados4878]

You should show us your other truck builds and sled loading process

[@k2buildit]

I have been wanting to make a school bus into a sled hauler/ buddy hauler. My current HOA would not be happy. Will have to wait until next summer to make them angry. Currently it's almost time to ride here in Michigan so riding comes first

[@dustinpollard6237]

I'm doing an IH Loadstar 4x4 from 68. It was a project I was working on before I bought my first snowmobile 2 weeks ago. 8ft x 8ft flatbed made from 6 x 8 inch beams, fortunately I bought them in the fall!!! Eventually its going to be my custom built extreme camper but im sure that will take longer than expected and i'll use it to take my 90 Jag Deluxe to the trails next winter. I'm so excited

[@thethreewheelercowboy521]

F’in perfect work truck.

[@20_below]

THANK YOU FOR BUILDING THIS TRUCK

[@likeaboss860]

That hitch looks like it would put the load pretty far away from the drive axle. Neat idea just looks like it might make you do a wheelie you know?

[@jdw1407]

Where are the ramps for the sleds?

[@Shredchef]

nice truck!! currently my truck is a work in progress... I'm new to sledding, this is my first year and Ive enjoyed your vids man keep it up!!

[@boser1212]

Super cool rig!

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thanks Tyson

[@TG-xo1uj]

Can you tell us what ramp is being used to load your sleds? Also where do you store the ramp?

[@pat4145]

awesome !! love it, even tho i have a 2021 ram 1500 limited ecodiesel w/392 rear end 25 mpg @ 75 mph

[@northboundcycles9832]

I’m about ready to build a deck for my 2011 F350 XL crew diesel and I want to build it to be a general purpose deck but it needs to be functional for my sledification needs in the winter. Do you mind sharing a rough idea on cost? Sick deck Dan.

[@Skytrekin]

Turned out looking pretty good, functionality and style!

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thats what we were going for. Thanks for watching.

[@ot8352]

How much would it be if you built one for me like that but for like quad and dirtbikes

[@leslewis687]

Where in the Wyo. state do you call home. Great looking truck with many uses. Thanks for the great videos!!

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

We are in Alpine Wyoming

[@tedpendagast579]

How do you keep your truck clean enough while seal coating so you can sled with it ? Everything I’ve seen in seal coating is nasty

[@dakotaracebrown]

Do the carbines on the sleds chew up the bed?

[@mikework6607]

Thats a sweet build! Definitely trumps any ideas i have had for my dodge 3500 with an 8 foot bed. I would really enjoy riding with you, maybe next winter i can make it down to WY.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

That would be awesome Mike we would love to have you at a Next Level Clinic

[@MrWoodnnails]

Did I hear you call your truck Vader? I have a blacked out '15 F350 with at flatbed for hauling sleds. It's name is SnoBaby.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thats awesome, good to hear you have similar tastes in trucks

[@james2042]

Unlike the cybertruck, this is a real truck

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

haha no doubt

[@anthonylacayo723]

So cool man. Maybe a truck with sleds give away build in the future? Also where do I get that KLIM puffer jacket bro?

[@paulrichey5479]

Thanks for sharing I have been wanting to see the details of your truck. It did not disappoint.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thanks Paul

[@misconceptionindustries2968]

Badass bed! What kind of shoes r u wearing?

[@christianculbertson980]

What ramp setup to do have to load your sleds? Interesting to see the sleds are sitting below the bed rail.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

We use a Caliber folding ramp

[@mgarza1335]

Have you ever thought of using liquid ride suspension? We found it to be superior over the air ride. Just asking!

[@nvrfollowb5]

Let us know if you get ice packing in your wheel wells

[@GardnersGarage]

That is one sick truck! Ive just sub'd and new to the channel. Do you build and sell them? If so, how hard is it to sell such custom vehicles. And can I ask how much money you think you put in to this truck? Very cool!

[@fricot_21]

Great Video as always Dan! Thanks for sharing your AWESOME rig with us! Big fan of the Ford and I love how you retrofitted this rig to be a complete dual-purpose custom rig for yourself. How do you go about loading sleds on the flatbed? Do you just back up to a snowbank/ride on and off or do you have a ramp hidden somewhere on that rig?

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

Thanks Bryan, we typically use a Caliber ramp for loading/unloading

[@OneOneNineFilms]

You look like the actor Michael Kelly

[@punkybeerconsumer]

I prefer the flat deck @nolimits is using.

[@Racer57]

I can't believe Chevy doesn't do a heavier pickup than the one tons. I get you can get a cab over, but seems like it would be a benefit to offer a 4500 atleast in a pickup style.

[@NextLevelRidingClinics]

For sure, we had a Kodiak in the past but it was really big. The smaller pickup style cab is a bit easier to live with.

Asphalt seal coat, during the summer we run a business called Black Top Pros. www.callblacktoppros.com/

Awesome truck Dan. Amazing custom fab work Jason!! Seal coat is that black asphalt sealer that is used on top of existing asphalt surfaces. I believe it helps prolong the asphalt life.
