that ranger has a lot of core support metal
more than I've ever seen
I'm jealous

It has all of its metal left.

It’ll be fine!

They triangulated it.

They triangulated it.

with the anti-rotation doubled bumper bolts

They triangulated it.

Yeah, that was my second iteration. The first arrangement, well, now I need new bumper brackets and need to straighten the previously perfect inner fender.

 

[total newb]

Are those triangulators what i think they is?

Look like ford ttb bracket plates from the cross member side.

Genuine fomoco baby! From the bumper brackets that are now 4 pieces, how weak can a strip of stamped sheet metal crimped over hex bolts really be?

Probably far safer than the ones above.

 

[arse_sidewards]

The ramps are dumb but that trailer isn't even over the tire ratings.

Not a whole lot of trouble you can get to at 10mph.

 

[Penetrode Offroad]

What is the issue as I am not seeing it?

Looked like the small rat shit straps you'd get from harbor freight.

It would be the driver fucking around with his phone and taking pics of a sxs while driving.

[Sceep]

Awesome. Back up to a wall and track it in, or crane?

 

[Wades_76_cj7]

impressive

I was going to call shenanigans, but it looks to be legit? The angle of the dozer tracks seemed off to me, maybe the front are rested over the top of the cab?

(I didnt crop the pic, dont blame me for what I think says "D11Tup there")

Angle of the track is because the box is half or 1/4 filled with muck.

My little brain cannot even fathom the weight of these things, so I figured the box would be empty due to the weight of a dozer.

But I suppose something that hauls rock and dirt a little tractor isnt that big a deal? Google says a D11 weighs 248k lbs.

The Wikipedia says 345- 363 tons for a 797 mine truck.
The Google says a straight 400 tons of payload.

Which seems crazy.

A few from Fagbook.

Might be the worst weight management I’ve ever seen, big but fine if properly balanced.

 

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

I have a forklift about that size and it is about 8000 empty
that truck is hardly squatting, I am suspicious

 

[Arps]

Im impressed

 

[gunracer1]

has to have a sheet of 3/4" plywood in the bed or the first good bump, its gone.

Airbags?

 

[Thatg9659]

Airbags?

The truck might not be squatting, but the tires sure are.

Impressive front suspension

Does this qualify? it was dumb how long it took me to get it loaded! the trailer was on a sidehill and it was sketchy. got it off with the bobcat t300 and forks.
