Petetrucker07 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Dennis, those fenders will look perfect on this. All the roll offs out here either have that style of fender or the supposed indestructible plastic. I'm lookin forward to the next update.

Im not a fan of those new rubbermade fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 . I agree, the Diamond plated fenders are a must. Im not a fan of those new rubbermade fenders. When I was putting that show truck together, the owner made the suggestion to use those since they come in chrome. I looked at him and said you bumped your head. The smooth, rolled edge aluminum painted to match are what's getting put on. Now if I were building a roll off like this, absolutely, diamond plate, either painted steel or polished aluminum.

They were polished, and looked pretty dang good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) 08-28-15 Update:  I can’t believe it’s been two months since the last update. It feels good to be back on the bench! Both lift cylinders are built along with the reeving cylinder and sheaves. Here’s some mockup pics to date: Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki I’m pleased with the results so far…now I’ll make the final fit adjustments. I’ll be focusing on plans for the container and start construction in the near future.      Edited June 29, 2017 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Looks really good. I hope to find my motivation soon. Sometimes to take a step away from the bench will do wonders. Looks like your break worked out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks everyone! I think it was good to take a break from building for awhile. When it starts to feel like you have to do it instead of wanting to, a little time off can be a positive thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roll-off chassis is loosely based on a Stellar Cable 75 unit that is 270 inches long. The container will be a Wastequip rectangular style roll-off with a height of approximately 73 inches.
