    its not for heavyweights that's for sure, the previous owner dropped a high back seat out of a pete in this one and it made it even tighter, I have a bostrum 914 mid back for it which should free up things abit.

    Hey nedly, a smooth sided brandon 17.5' spec'd with 1/4" AR450 floor and sides, barn door with two shoots in gloss black, the hubs with wheels were pricey but worth it I feel, it will run true and brightens things up alot.

    single axle dump + 20 ton tag weight questions

    yes the case loader is mine, it a good machine strong for its size, the fl80 has 300hp and pulls pretty good but struggles on the hills. It weights 20300 empty and gvw/ reg is 53k so when carrying 16/17ton and needs all the lil cat has to offer. Its a great little truck but it was time for...
