Learned that lesson the hard way and pulled the crane out soon after this. That was not a fun repair to do and also put in steel plates to help reinforce the bed. I still have a plan to flat bed the truck later on but it works for what I do for now.

I learned that when I reinstalled it back into my truck along with steel backing plates. Also look forward to your video to see what you do as well. Best of luck on your install.

Thanks and it is still working to this day. Helps out greatly keeping temps down in the summer and venting out the shed as well.

There are some things you just can't explain

Why?

I have not taken to the max load limit yet due to my truck bed cracking around the base and also a few other issues. Heaviest has been actually lifting the one large riding mower up enough to get it off the ground to jack stand it. Just be careful and also know what your vehicle can take because you are only lifting from one side.

I learned that the hard way when I had to do some work and saw the holes in the metal. Now I have thicker metal for a plan to fix this once the weather improves greatly and allows me to put it back in the truck, that crane is extremely helpful with things.

Thanks

@@BlazerProject ofc bro looking out for fellow firecracker in can boys

Yes you may as long as you credit me.

@@BlazerProject ok I will. Thanks

Yeah, sill needs some improvements but right now it will do just fine for the job.

I know, just wanted to see what the crane could do.

I have learned a lot more since then and also upgraded my air compressor as well. Also got a better tripod for my cameras. I am getting some new coverings soon as well to do more sandblasting as well.

@@BlazerProject Excellent, I enjoyed your video and have just ordered a sandblast gun. I wish you every success. I think I will try working in a big polythene tent.

Its from Northern Tool....www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200672545_200672545 Hope this helps.

Check Harbot Freight....1/2T crane ~$180 minus coupons of 20-25%.

Glad I could help give you that Idea, Hope it works out for you. Good luck.

I adjusted it from the book setup that came with the CB Radio. Also still working on it but working long days has not been fun. Hopefully I can get it figured out soon.

The electric winch is in the works and when it comes to certain outside projects like this, I tend to go a little overboard with the Loctite. I know a little goes a long way but I did not want to have it coming loose either.

Thanks and good luck with your install as well. Hopefully going to be strengthening up mine on the bed and add a stabilizer leg soon. The hand crank option is nice but an electric winch is just much more controllable in my opinion.

@@BlazerProject yes and gives you an extra hand

@@BlazerProject so are you having stability issues since your last install?

@@JB-wx4wo Not really but I need to strengthen up the base where I put it on the bed considering it likes to flex a little. Just having an extra sense of insurance when lifting is nice. I will have a video on it hopefully soon if the weather can cooperate at all.

@@BlazerProject good deal.... Thanks would love to watch an update... I will keep you posted on my progress...... So far this brand looks to be the most affordable without sacrificing quality.

I was wondering what that plastic washer was for considering it was not in the instructions. I will do that ASAP. Thanks for pointing that out.

@@BlazerProject Get it working? If you have an ohm meter check for a short between the center pin of the coax and the tool box. It should be open. If you read a short then you got the plastic washers stacked wrong. Here is a diagram. Hopefully the link works. www.rfwiz.com/image/cache/catalog/CB_11Meters/MountsBrackets/K-4A-2-500x500.jpg

@@Oldcomputer I will look into that once the snow melts and also the warmer temps come back. There is still a lot of snow and ice where I live. Thanks

@@BlazerProject Can you link the antenna and mount Im looking for one

@@jasonjr2500 www.walcottradio.com/hustler-scbblu-high-performance-cb-radio-and-10-meter-antenna-blue-p-3392.html www.walcottradio.com/double-groove-4bolt-aluminum-cb-antenna-bracket-mount-p-2812.html That is the antenna and mount that I used, the website also has the cables as well. Good luck with your install.

As far as I can remember it is just a snap ring but it could vary from truck to truck. Take your time and you will do fine. Best of luck on the ball joints.

@@BlazerProject Thanks. Got into it and on my 95 4wd it is indeed just a snap ring and the shaft moves freely. Got the old joints off and abt to put it all together

@@geoffthats6839 Glad to hear that and hope all goes well.

They are going strong still. I only run them for a short time to cool down my shed in the heat of the summer and shut them off when I open it up.

Makes cooling that shed off so much easier and not opening up a blast furnace as well. Thanks for the comment.

Yes I did, the upload will happen on friday and saturday when I am off work for the first day then the rest will follow the next week.

Sounds good man

Thanks and I love having my little perch up in the grandstands to get it all.

Thanks and it will be coming back after a long wait for the full restoration and also getting caught up on smaller projects.
