I would like to buy the same truck and pull a slightly bigger chipper,ive only done 30,000kms in 5 years on my current truck so if i did buy new it wouldnt lose alot of $$$$ with only 30-40,000kms going on the current market here.

Im hearing you loud n clear on buying too much kit!

The NPR comes out in a factory built tipper here Lee,Do they come out like that in trhe UK?

Aussie the NPR does come with a factory tipper here, NQR trucks only come chassis cab.

TM Mitsubishi and Isuzu, infact most COE trucks have the best turning circle! hum what isn't on the truck that I'd want, maybe rear flashing lights of some kind, strobes even, I can't think of anything else , oh yeah maybe a rear support bar on the dump body, to stop the side potentially bowing.

That shiney trailer is galvanised Ekka, but yes i'll start a thread about it..

Here are some pics of my truck lettered today, he put 'GROUND MAINTENANCE' instead of 'grounds maintenance' do you think its much of a big deal? He's a mate and charged a ridiculously low price!

Looks good

The mistake isnt too big a deal. With the other info it doesnt read too out of place.

He could easy just peel of "Ground" and re cut Grounds and apply it if it really bugs you.

This is why i got my own sign cutter after a few similar stuff ups. I dont make mistakes

That's smashing!

I love the error, keep it.

Ground maintenance is what good tree care is about, maintain that soil in good condition and you get healthier trees ... the spin off is if you get grounds maint work by default.

Nice looking truck. I like the roll up door on the tool box. I'm sure aluminum will pay for itself in fuel savings.

I'm curious, too. Transit brings up a good question. Do you need some advanced certificate? or permit?

That is a tidy body (the truck, not the bloke standing in front of it)

Looks like the toolbox has a skylight in it, nifty!

Hi Roller,

Nice truck and great job on the sign writing!

I think it can give a good image when you turn up like that, it makes you look like a serious outfit
