a few things I do

[rizzo]

here are a few things I do.

I hook my chain so that it does not rub on the bumper. much neater looking IMHO

I flip the shackle and throw an old tire on to push other vehicles around.


I made a custom step for the bed

I had to push start one of my trucks, wish I had thought to use a tire on the front.

 

[srodocker]

i was thinking of a tire mount in the front so when the zombies come and i need to ram things it wont hurt that bad

 

[emr]

way to hang a chain,Is it because U do not want to scratch the paint? I would say the tire also makes the chain idea look much neater.....sorry i just could not resist, I reall hope u do not mind...

 

[mudguppy]

But that will be easier on the Zombies too!

interesting, your winch cable is at the top of the drum, mines at the bottom.. is mine spooled wrong? to winch forward i pull the pto lever toward the back of the truck. right or wrong?

Yeah, it's supposed to go over the top. The PTO lever from all the way forward to all the back is: High - Neutral - Low - Neutral(with hinge lock) - Reverse. If yours pulls in when all the way back then it's on backwards.

Mines spooled on top also....

I like that tire idea. Thanks for posting it.

The wire rope should be on the top of the winch drum. The pto shift pattern from the rear of the cab is like this: REV-N-LOW-N-HI

Below is the only picture I have hear at work of the shift pattern plate on my Gasser.

You know I was wondering the same thing about the last fiew inches of wind, thats getting too close for comfort for me. The idea of a rear lader is also a very good one, however I would like to configure the ladder to fold at the first rung with two additonal rungs below it, for the sake of having a semi stock look when the tailgate is up and latched.

yeah thats funny lol, but I try to be nice to my tuck when I can.

do you wind the last bit of the drum by hand?

yes, my drum brake is loose and it is very easy to wind the last bit

But that will be easier on the Zombies too!

yes, make sure you are PC

remember to load it. I pull the truck across the yard in N or with a little parking brake on. it seems to be tight enough in N

the ladder ends ou also doubling as a safety rail for the last guy in the seat. I have civys in the back a lot.
