We buy a big truck to haul the Teams big trailer, but first we play with the crane before we convert it to a trailer hauler. / 324427332748045 minneapolis.cr...
I don't know Eric, me thinks the autocrane would be a nice addition to the top of the gooseneck trailer. Would need to engineer some outriggers but it sure could be useful.
I want one of these 4x4 kodiaks. Im pretty jealous. Power is nice, but cant compete with size. Getting rid of a service is hard. Makes trail repairs so much easier, but i know you need the flat bed. Also if you're going to sand hollow you gotta do a recovery with matts off road recovery.
Very nice. But , now this is just me n my view i would keep the lift and sell just the body. You just never know when a fella may need that. Congrats BSF Have an awesome day
Congrats, '09 ? Thats super clean & looks great. Cant wait to see it all tricked out. Dont forget to add rear facing LED's for extra lighting, As others have said, If going to Sand Hollow, meet up with Matt's off road, aka Winder towing And Paul & Michelle from Fab Rats ( one of Matt's best friends )
My kicker did the same thing many times check engine heat .My truck was setup for northern operations --- 210 thermostats so working it hard unless dead of winter --32 degrees would throw into limp mode or just plane ass quit anywhere and the dash looking like a Christmas tree..To change stats 1500 $ and pull most of front bib,ac pump ,water lines ,ECT.ect.ect and 75.00 pair stats and 2days down time plus recode ecu to accept new coolant temps to 180 and test again more later . ---cowboy
With a new truck and that crane if it were me I put that crate on that flap deck and use and you can have yourself your own little rotator just a thought
Why aren't you adding that crane to the wrecker and turning it into a mini rotator?!!! I'd be keeping that crane no matter what and putting it on a removable trailer/flat bed mount to keep the usefulness of it. The skid steer would be right for moving it on and off as needed.
Congratulations on the truck, maybe you can move the crane to the new flatbed you are putting on the Topkick. Have a safe trip when you head out there. Are you still running the old military tires? may need more flotation out west.
Knowing you you could get it off with the wrecker, but use the crane on the service truck it'll work better for you can't wait to see what you do next you never cease to amaze me
I really like your videos but this one was very shakey at times. LoL I'm guessing you where fitting the wind. I think that crane would be smart to keep an rig it up on the flat bed.
I hope you reached out to Matt from Matt's Off Road Recovery to possibly do a collaboration. He is a good guy and puts out great content and I for one would definitely watch it
Awesome new rig buddy!! I just baught my 6th 1 Ton 4x4 Chevy but this one was a fire truck that would haul water to the fields when needed!! So it has under a 100,000 miles on it and has the 4 speed 205 combo and the front Dana 60!! Oh and this one is a SRW and not the DRW!! Eric if you are looking for another wrecker I have one that is also the 4x4 Dana 60 205 4speed combo?? The wrecker unit is a 480 Holme unit and the two big winches work very good and have been taken care of also!!!
Not to run them down there good trucks had a top kick with a picker watch the air box is junk and put a fass fuel system on it for extra filtering and lift pump high pressure injector fail is 15k and the electrical issues were hard to take after a while maybe not as harsh as climate as Northern AB I also fabricated a front passenger air bag mourning bracket put full air ride on made a world of difference drive it nice there not to bad
That is gonna be a badass rig for you guys can't wait to see it transform. I'm sure some meaty tires and lightning is already on the list of needs lol. Hopefully next year I can make a trip from Michigan out to do sum 4wheeling in your neck of the woods.
Sounds like you may be visiting some other off road recovery folks out by sand hollow. MORR and Casey ???? That will be anxiously awaiting those vids! Eric, I would set that service body and crane right by my log splitter,,,,
The IMT is (in my opinion) the Rolls Royce of mass produced service bodies. It should fetch decent money. You're in Cdl class with just the 3500 pulling the gooseneck (at least in the state of Texas) and you'll be way into it with the bigger rig.
Dont get rid of the crane, just put it at the front of the bed or make it so you can move it around on the bed. Also might be a good idea to make a fold-over or slide out tail for the flatbed so you can extend it for more capacity.
please meet up with matts offroad recovery in sandhollow it would be cool to see the wrecker working with the morrvair and compared to the fab rats wrecker maybe
I like the new truck! But I sure was worried watching you stand directly under the boom of that crane when you were picking that load off the trailer! I would have been off to the side.
Dana 70 with 5.13 gears stock under the front of it.the boom would be cool if someone wanted to make a mini rotator but would need the same size truck it came off of and backhoe out riggers
Touch base with Matts Off Road Recovery out of Hurricane Utah. Sand hollow is one of his busiest areas. People always getting stuck in the sand. And he loves doing vids with other You Tubers.
I'd modify the current body to make the gooseneck work. Also, the wind makes it very hard to hear you for a bit, could you try adding auto-captions to see if it helps being able to understand what you're saying? :D
Can you have seat cover or who ever holding the video cam to hold it still cause it’s hard to watch 👀 and see 👀 the main shot of the story, if you edit it you’ll see lots of movement and comments and out of shot views, please thank you, cause I do like 👍 all your videos… From Hawaii, you and the family and crew have a great day thanks again Aloha 🌋 🌴😎🤙🍹👍 P S Keep the videos coming, like it 😊 a lot…
Check your spring count. Often the crane side will have additional springs for the added weight.
I don't know Eric, me thinks the autocrane would be a nice addition to the top of the gooseneck trailer. Would need to engineer some outriggers but it sure could be useful.
Totally agree
Definitely make loading broken equipment easier
Or mount it to the front of the flat bed then you can load the truck by itself and if need be then transfer the load to the trailer
You should try setting out a meet with Matt's off road recovery on youtube out that way
I can't imagine any other reason for him to go to sand hollow except to meet up with Matt and the crew.. and Fab rats
He actually did xD

i'd build a trailer to carry that box / crane on and use that dang thing. its been 11 years and i still regret getting rid of mine
Build a trailer frame for that bed and turn it into a 'crane trailer' lol
With a new truck and that crane if it were me I put that crate on that flap deck and use and you can have yourself your own little rotator just a thought
I’d put it at the bottom of the headache rack. Would be mighty handy loading that tall bed.
Good stuff been keeping up with your channel for years. Glad you're moving on up and getting stuff done! Love the wrecker build.
I was at apple valley off road park when you picked up that white f150
Man if you could keep the service body and haul the trailer there would be some serious wrenching going on in the parking area!
Why aren't you adding that crane to the wrecker and turning it into a mini rotator?!!!
I'd be keeping that crane no matter what and putting it on a removable trailer/flat bed mount to keep the usefulness of it. The skid steer would be right for moving it on and off as needed.
I agree. I was thinking the same thing to.
That winch in that boom should be the one you put on the front of the wrecker 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations on the truck, maybe you can move the crane to the new flatbed you are putting on the Topkick. Have a safe trip when you head out there. Are you still running the old military tires? may need more flotation out west.
Sand hollow eh? You'll likely get to see the MORRvair before I do. Maybe you can meet with Paul also.
Knowing you you could get it off with the wrecker, but use the crane on the service truck it'll work better for you can't wait to see what you do next you never cease to amaze me
Id modificate that crane on that flatbed juuust Incase y'all need it for mechanic work on the tow truck at the parks
The crane alone on a truck would be awsome wrecker
I really like your videos but this one was very shakey at times. LoL I'm guessing you where fitting the wind. I think that crane would be smart to keep an rig it up on the flat bed.
This is very exciting news. I can't wait for the bed switch. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet! Can you mount the crane into the front of the new tailor? So when put down it would be parallel with headache rack.

I could see ALOT of practical applications for that crane on that wrecker or even that 4500 being a wrecker with the crane
Matt's Off-Road Recovery!

Ditch the boom on your wrecker and find a way to mount the crane, off road rotator.
That would be a slick DIY option.
4000 lb crane isn't going to do very much for recovery work, could make for easy tire changes and such but that's probably about it
@@Rx7man - Good point, not sure why I didn't think about it only being rated at 4k.
Sounds like you may be visiting some other off road recovery folks out by sand hollow.
MORR and Casey ????
That will be anxiously awaiting those vids!
Eric, I would set that service body and crane right by my log splitter,,,,

Keep that crane might help with side lifts
for sure need to mount that crane to something nice to have around maybe just enough room to squeeze it in sideways by the rack on the flatbed
Congratulations on the new truck Eric. And Thankyou for a new video. Y’all all take care and be safe.
Dont get rid of the crane, just put it at the front of the bed or make it so you can move it around on the bed. Also might be a good idea to make a fold-over or slide out tail for the flatbed so you can extend it for more capacity.
You should totally mount that crane to the flat bed.
You will be able to sell the cribbing under the new bed Eric & recoup your investment in the new tow rig
Maybe it's time to put a new lens on the light bar?
Eric care to explain why the lightbar is damaged
please meet up with matts offroad recovery in sandhollow it would be cool to see the wrecker working with the morrvair and compared to the fab rats wrecker maybe
You should mount that crane on the front corner of your new flat bed
Crane needs putting on a steel column and bolted down to your concrete floor in the garage for shop work.
That thing is nice. I hope you turn it into something cool as the wrecker.
I like the new truck! But I sure was worried watching you stand directly under the boom of that crane when you were picking that load off the trailer! I would have been off to the side.
Put the crane on the flat bed! 👍👍
I can't wait to see more of this truck!
Also watch your turbo lines I got new tubes bent and high pressure couplers and new clamps lots of stuff under the hood rubs all over
That is a nice big work truck right there
looking forward to some Utah collaborations
Dana 70 with 5.13 gears stock under the front of it.the boom would be cool if someone wanted to make a mini rotator but would need the same size truck it came off of and backhoe out riggers
Is it a 70 or a super 60?
@@ronfrance4041 came factory with a 70
idk id be keeping the crane as least an put it onto the kodiack flatbed, closer to the cab though so ya can still haul a trailer
Let's see a walk around of the new truck.....I think an off road mini tator is the ticket.
Touch base with Matts Off Road Recovery out of Hurricane Utah. Sand hollow is one of his busiest areas. People always getting stuck in the sand. And he loves doing vids with other You Tubers.
Well atleast you went heavy give the morrvair a challenge to pull out when u get stuck
I'd modify the current body to make the gooseneck work. Also, the wind makes it very hard to hear you for a bit, could you try adding auto-captions to see if it helps being able to understand what you're saying? :D
Wow nice video....
Love the new flat bed
Love the channel!!!!!
BSF and MORR mashup videos in the near future?🤔🤔
I think it would be better on Clifford to
You may need to (Make a call) at sand hollow
I would of just stayed with the service bed and gone to a pintle style hitch that crane would be crazy handy at the trailer area for recoveries
Should put that crane on yer tow rig and make it a rotator..
cool video, keep them coming
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You guys are good people
Nice rig!
Lol also you don’t need a crane license in Canada if your working for your self your golden
Pretty cool! When are you guys going to Utah? Whats the event?
U should do a "how to" video on ratchet straps, so many ppl can't figure it out , I don't know y 🤔
Does anyone in the comments agree with this alteration?? Seems a trailer switch would make just a lil more sense
Love the truck
Nice truck !
...you will be outside your element at Sand Hollow so, l'm sure surprises are in store.... tell Lizzy l said hi ...
Yes , the wrecker might be a big fail out there, we will see.
@@offroadrecoveryteam you’ll be just fine . It’s just another wheeling adventure.
That thing is clean too bad crane has to go would be neat to repurpose it somehow
Hey why are those trucks called top kicks
nice video as usual
does the service bed have outriggers or is the tommy gate double duty?
What are your plans for the duramax truck if u ever want to get rid of bed let me know
Onward!
At 2:00 i am very interested but misded it on the windnoise of the microphone.
Isnt this wheel base too long?
It is an 11 foot box, 84" cab to axle facebook.com/marketplace/item/451555385935718/
I'm not sure if u need to get rid of the crane I would put it on top of the goose neck
Yeppers fun insun
Put the crane onto the new bed
Lol us left handed people always have issues lmao
Sweet
That pig will be way slower than a one ton
Too bad you cant put that bed and crane on the duramax.
you def need a Tripod camera moving around too much makes me Dizzy LOL
what happened with the cummins?
That pulls the toy hauler/mobile shop.
Keep the crane
Not sure how that heavy wrecker will do out in the sand...
Seat belt dont do it for me, need a Lizzy
Are you going to keep the red dually?
Not sure yet, it is my daily driver.
@@offroadrecoveryteam I wouldn't. it's a good truck to have around.
When will you be in Sand Hollow?
The Trail Hero Event in early October.
@@offroadrecoveryteam Cool! Have a blast! :-)
@@offroadrecoveryteam
It's a shame that a great truck like that cannot be registered nor driven on the road in California.
Keep the service body build a hitch
Can you have seat cover or who ever holding the video cam to hold it still cause it’s hard to watch 👀 and see 👀 the main shot of the story, if you edit it you’ll see lots of movement and comments and out of shot views, please thank you, cause I do like 👍 all your videos… From Hawaii, you and the family and crew have a great day thanks again Aloha 🌋 🌴😎🤙🍹👍 P S Keep the videos coming, like it 😊 a lot…
Nice truck. Delete any pollution. Egr etc. Too bad you cant keep the crane. Come in handy
