    Just finished watching this build again from start to finish over the last few weeks, turned out unreal, you need to build another, that angle on the bed is perfect, no big hump, just nice and smooth, get another done and ill be a buyer lol

    That turned out unreal, looks really smart! if possible do a video of loading a few cars when youre out and about to see the loading angle etc.. id be interested to know what you think of the rope on the winch after a few months, im looking to go rope but ive heard mixed reports

    • @harnesslife
      @harnesslife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would not have bought a rope a few years ago because you could not get oil on it or the UV light would affect it but not with this rope and you have to change the fairlead out of the winch and use the right size snatch block but will let you know if there is any hassle with it

    Unreal job just came across this project last week, gave me afew ideas for my own, I taught it would be heavier, is there anything you would change if doing it again

      Ya that was built for end of life cars and recovery not transportation so I would just make out of aluminium but worked well the angles were good but I would like to loose the heavy steel to see how light I could get a steel body

      I've a mk6 mild steel chequer plate floor and mild steel side skirts but it's nearly 2500 I'd say needs loose few kgs.

      Them floors are heavy I can't move them with out forklift
      Have you seen reel smart winch system I'm building one on my truck but I was ment to put it in transit and fit it below the floor it would have been good
