I absolutely love this rig, I agree with you on everything that was talked about. Sounds like you have found a great setup that works for you. Can’t wait to see more videos!
Dude I've been subscribed for a couple years watching vids every now and then. I do pipeline/ oil &gas work mostly some mobile stuff so this setup isn't for exactly for me but man is this a slick unit.
Nice skid and accessories. I prefer a truck body not made of aluminum, but it works for lots of guys. Keep up the videos, and best of luck to you going forward!
Very nice rig....only thing I would've done differently is I would have back up alarm facing down at the ground....no dirt get in and sound bounces off ground making it heard better
Why not try to see if you could find someone to 3D print a plastic cover for the aluminum spool gun?? I’m thinking it might be a better option just reduce the risk, if any, of an arch out. 🤷🏻♂️ idk just thinking in text. 😊 I’ve never used that style so I don’t know if it’s possible to bird cage in that spot.
Nice truck it has everything I'd want on my F250 except the welder I already got my Lincoln 10000 plus my air compressor is plug in but its real handy a little C&H 13 gallon I got a speedaire 20 gallon as soon as I can get a pump it will take up residence on my truck
The new diesels these days , are really ment for specific purposes. The days of getting a diesel for reliability, fuel economy and long term ownership savings are long gone. And probably my opinion is derb did it for foot print reasons and he knows exactly what he needs to get the job done efficiently. Hes been in the game long enough to know. I mean he did have a f450 diesel for a while. Not sure if hes got it still.
Im on the fence with that to be honest. As long as you keep it inside the ratings its fine. Those f150s are everywhere on jobsites. And really they are almost in the 3/4 ton class. Its crazy to think back in the older days (80s and 90s) the weight you could move with an old school 3/4 and 1 ton is pretty much what the half tons do these days.. i will say this id by a half ton ford over the other 2 any day. Just because of the ratings and simplicity
Nah I had 100 gallon transfer tank and toolboxes in my 2009 f150 that weighed 1500lbs, I added heavy duty leaf springs and the truck worked for many years until I could save up to buy my 2019 f350
Only thing you missing is your wheel chalks them Rock quarry and sandmine is wild😂
Congrats!
Thank you :)
Derbador, this is a really cool rig.

Literally? 79 and 74! I’ve got a 79 f350 and 74 f250.
Excellent video. Congratulations my friend! You’ve come a long way and getting bigger!
Great video derb! Like the rig for sure glad its got the tried and true 5.0l. Looks like you got exactly what you needed.
It’s awesome that you do search and rescue the funny thing is I also carry my S&R gear in my work truck.

Love the work truck look

I wouldn’t mind seeing a video of that arcreach in action.

Brother Derb happy to you again so soon keep it up please

Rig looks good and the skid it great. What kind of work you doing in the in the mines ?
That powermax45 is a workhorse
In the video the bed looks darker than the cab. Nice rig regardless!
What about a welding trailer?
Not a bad rig. I wonder why you didnt go with a 2500 or bigger even if you wanted to stay in a gasser vs diesel.

@@George88889 I think a 2500 gasser would have similar footprint but handle the weight better.

How does the 150 do breaking with all the weight
Its stops great. Almost can’t tell the difference with it loaded vs unloaded.
😎👍
You're asking a lot of that truck brother.
Not even close. The truck has a over 3000lb GVW and I’m using only a third of that

What is the process to become msha certified?
About $1500 and a 24 hour class
@@derbadortheweldor8940 did you just have to talk to your local msha office?
I went through the mine I was working at but I’m sure they can help to
@@derbadortheweldor8940 10-4 and thank you.
Nice setup on your skid I will give you that but piss on ford I’m sorry but I’m a die hard CHEVY MAN
Nice truck… just not meant for a welding rig. You have your tools just thrown everywhere looks sloppy.
No it’s definitely meant for a welding rig. It’s far from sloppy
