I never took it as rude

I don't think chains would be required after all receiver hitches are only attached with 4 bolts. Mine has 12 and is still connected through 3 receiver tubes that are fully welded to the truck

As far as capping the ends Are you talking about the main tube that has the lights in it? If so no

 

[Crinco]

Yes that main lower tube with the lights. If you were to turn real sharp and just catch something, or someone in a parking lot doesn't see the extension and they hit it, it would do less damage to you and them if it was capped. Bumpers might slide off instead of catching and tearing. Just a thought.
Either way it looks good.

 

[Bucking Bronco]

Probably should anyway just to keep some moisture and junk out.

Well I got it loaded today and I am not sure how it is going to drive I might need some air bags. It squats the rear 3" but from what I can tell it lifts the front less the .25" So I need to get it strapped down and take it for a spin.

I had my Wife video me loading so I could get an Idea of any flex and to me it looks pretty solid. I was fairly aggressive loading to make sure it was strong.

Very nice looks like it fits perfect on there! Great job.

 

[Herzog]

Not bad! I like it.

 

[Maverick]

Looks like it came together very nicely. Have you weighed it all yet? I'm curious how reality compares to theory.

No I have not had a chance yet. I want to load it all up and go get a weight with it loaded and then unload and get it empty.

 

[BlackDog]

Very Cool Indeed!

 

[cheepin]

Came out nice.Should work.I do like the idea of adding pockets in front,just to let it sit down in and not have a chance to roll off.

 

[Bart]

Love it, nice job. Can't wait to hear the numbers on the weigh in. You've got me rethinking my tow rig situation.

 

[spaggyroe]

Nice work!
Convienent solution to hauling your rig.

 

[phatfoto]

Love the vid. Looks plenty solid and easy to get on and off of.

 

[Corban_White]

Looks very nice, and much more enjoyable than a trailer. Good job!

 

[Bucking Bronco]

Thanks for all the compliments

I will try and get a weight on it soon

 

[Maverick]

Yup, that's pretty awesome. Way to have vision!

I wonder if I could put a flatbed on the excursion...

If you go bags, which you probably should, I love the ride-rites and reservoir I put on my X.

How is it for a daily driver?

How is it for a daily driver?

It actually drives great. much smoother then my dads F-250 I am sure I will only drive it like once a month though.

I still need a couple things to add. It needs new front shocks, I need to weld on the D ring still and I need to find a new seat belt for it. The passenger side belt had some slices almost like it has been cut but I don't know what happened to it.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Very cool!!

 

[ricsrx]

Very nice, I had seen those tow truck with the tilting bed and a crew cab as well, but alittle on the log side and being a DD would be out of the question or even for an emergency trip to the grocery store.
Your setup fits very well.
