Thread: A little problem with my truck...

So while doing a nice large cut job up at Maryborough, poor old Donkey the dual cab light truck has shown he is getting rather old and all but given up. He's still soldiers on, but is not very far from stopping all together.

I can't get more time off the day job at the moment so I have to finish off the Maryborough job on my weekends, so this means a lot more k's done on the road, old Donkey just isn't up to it anymore...


Here's my solution!!!





I picked it up earlier this week. He's a Nissan Navara 4x4 3.0L turbo diesel goes really well considering it's predecessor and already came with racks to take the rails, so that was a big bonus.

It also gave me the chance to hold the rails on like Lucas do when they go on the road for demo days - notice no ropes or straps for the rails.

Best of all, with a small amount of thought Bo Derek fits in the tray wonderfully - just like Larry the 6-18 used to in Donkey; the tailgate holds against the tires so there is no need for a tie down on the carriage. Also I have a bit extra tray room to put the end frames etc.

Hope you like it as much as I do
