I think a truck bed toolbox would be perfect for the back.

[@rustyaxelrod]

Kinda like a garden tractor with a lot more room, comfortable with a roof. I can see where it might be useful on the farm.

👍 Thanks for watching.

[@Skeeballman64]

Yeah, it'd be cool if you could mount a grass cutter under it. That'd be pretty neat!

[@ericmathena]

I've always wanted to do that to a truck. However, I would leave the stock engine and trany in it and have a rear suspension. That is an awesome expression of 'Dare to be Different'. Great work, man.

Hahaha, 100%

Get you some junkyard front fenders from the same model for your rear bed sides. Maybe when funds become available, get a tranverse transaxle mounted lenghtwise. You automatically get like 3 to 1 reduction and a safe 4wheel drive setup if needed. Great video 👍

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

That would be interesting

Would be nice to have a little suspension but it still looks like a great toy to play with, thanks for the videos

That is sweet as everything. 😂. Now run a cable from the clutch pedal to that middle tension pulley and ditch the centrifugal clutch all together. The belt becomes the clutch component at that point, burn a belt not a clutch. That pulley is massive 😂.

I've thought about doing that on about every one of these , the monster truck may be the first to get a clutch tension cable , it's a great idea though 👍.

Amazon sells small 3 hp Diesel engines. May be something you would want to put in a project. There’s videos on KZbin.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I've seen that engine, it doesn't have any more torque than a gas engine.

[@psnkeemoe1]

The 10hp ones on there are about the same price as a duromax. Quite possibly could match it on torque output, especially so if turbo'd.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Now that would be cool.

[@dave5176]

I would like to see it with a torque converter instead of the centrifugal clutch. I have a mini bike that I converted from a 97 CC, to a 212 CC with the torque converter, and it is awesome. By a torque converter, I mean the variable speed belt like on a snow mobile.
