Won a 932A2 yesterday

[Recovry4x4]

We.cut 55" out of a 5 ton dropside bed for JW4x4s 931. We did the bed install at the rally 2 or 3 years back. Came out darn near perfect.

Tell me more details if possible. You cut, welded and installed at the rally?

Where did you move your hydro tank to? Or is it there and I can't see it?

No actually I have a 25 gallon tank mounted in behind drivers side step and custom air filter setup. Reason for that is I use truck PTO for the winch and bed and I also have an additional lines for rear mounted winch and knuckle crane that are not yet installed.

Just the install was done at the rally. Not sure when the cutting and welding was done.

Congrats, looks like a nice truck!

I'm about 30 minutes from Warner Robins, on the other side of Macon. We just passed the base about a l8ttle while ago for a football game.

I have tools, parts and a place to work on it if need be. I'll have to work Tuesday, but could possibly leave if need be. Hope it's not needed but the offer is there. Good luck.

Since you have to buy a bed anyway, just buy a deuce bed, bolt it on and be done with it.

Mike is packed up with the tow bar and goodies. The wife has her pillow so off we go in a couple of minutes. Wish us luck and say a prayer for us.

 

[Coffey1]

Stay safe you guys.
Hope and praying all goes well.

Have a good trip, call me if you have problems.

Yeah, Jerry bought the bed here in FL and was delivered to my house. I contracted the assistance of ODIron to do the chopping. After countless measurements, the cut and splice was made. I tried to balance the looks of the bed somewhat. The dropside has that raised section in the front so we sectioned the back to where the back and front were about the same length. Here are a couple of pics. In the pic of the bed on the truck, the dropsides are on the wrong side. The short section should be at the rear.

They are trucking home , still about three hours out says all is good so far !

 

[andy3]

My advice is do whatever that lady says.

 

[Andyrv6av8r]

Mission accomplished! No real issues other than taking an hour to get on base ( vehicle searches ) and having to air all 6 tires up manually( the CTIS didn't work at all but luckily behaved completely normal after about an hour of driving ). The fan is cycling on more than normal so that is the first order of business to look at. All in all, in my opinion, any recovery NOT requiring a tow bar, is a GREAT recovery.

I know it's here somewhere


Found it!

Here is the wife trying it on

And her trying to catch me

Glad to be home!

 

[Rmtaunton]

Congratulations job well done !!

 

[muddog]

Good looking truck Andy, glad you made home with no problems.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Glad your trip went well. Yeah checking in for pickup at the base can be a bit time consuming. I went a couple months back and was in line for an hour. Then waited another hour for vehicle search and such. There were about 20 vehicles in line that morning.
