I will give things a look over, I will start in the rear where I built hinge plate/hitch. Maybe I screwed up something and didnt realize it. Thanks guys I'll let you know if I find something.

As title states, while driving my duece after dark where lights are needed obviously. After a short time 5-8mins all lights will go out. Nota zip silch, head lights, turn signals dash lights nothing works. And as I slow don't as fast as possible while trying to make out the road by moon light...

Good point....the fact that you bobbed it didn't register right away. How does material come out at 45 degrees? Our commercial trucks go up to a little better than 50 degrees but are also equipped with vibrators and poly floors.

So your distance between hinges and lift point of hoist is small. I'm sure you know but thats why your rig can't lift 7000lbs of topsoil.

apparently everybody has issues with clearance between hoist frame and bed rails.....I have 395s on my duece and haul firewood and really don't care to throw it much higher so I made a great effort to avoid raising bed at all and want to maintain stock look as much as much as possible. I decided...

This is the hitch I built couple weeks ago, its a reciever below the large pintle. I like the pintle just for a hiook point at local mud bogs. We use it as the rescue rig. all the plates are built with 3/4" plate with 2" pins

I've seen electric over hydraulic 12v pumps used on 1 ton and was not impressed with them. I thick a mechanical pump is the route I am taking.

So the bed will be 4" higher than stock off he truck? Should beef it up also....I don't think the stock bed rails are stong enough by themselves continued use as a dump bed, I'm putting 2x5 tube inside the stock rails for added strength. Maybe I should do what your doing. Hmmmm.....thanks for...

I'm in the middle of doing same thing.....what hydraulic setup are you planning on using?

-trying to load pic-

The bead locks is the big deal, so he can run lower air preasure to get a large foot print for floatation and such. If you drop tubed tires to low you could blow a bead and or wreck the tube. I do a lot of offroading also but not as extreme.

I put 395 XMLs on my a2 duece couple years ago. I used stock wheels and tubes.....only issue is my turning radius was shortened because driver side rubs oon drag link. Planning on fixing that soon.

I have built the hinge plate an new rear hitch last weekend and getting hoist set in this weekend if all goes well. I was reading through some other threads trying to find info and pics of others who have used a v-belt driven hydo pump in engine bay. I am planning on doin so and want to save...
