to a fellow landscaper!!! I've been doing this since I was 14 and still have the same clientele 8 years later, I offer grass cutting service, dump runs and complete landscape jobs. I was hoping to upgrade to a 6x10 Dual axle dump trailer but we will see, I currently have a single axle manual dump 4x8 trailer and single axle 5x10 with 3 foots sides which is what I use to haul my bobcat!!! I make quite a bit extra in the summer and probably will never give it up or until I get married lol.

I'll be keeping up with your build as well as I'm curious as to which exhaust set up your going with, I wouldn't mind going dual with rear exit 5" tips on a 45 degree angle!!!

Same here but I took a couple years off after college to get into automotive now I'm a drywall stocker. A 6x10 with power dump or manual dump? lol until you get married. It's easy money in the summer to cut grass but what I really wanna focus on is walls/paver patios, and water features. That's where the real money is. Cutting grass is consistent but you have to cut a lot to make a profit.

I don't have a build thread lol haven't done too much to the truck honestly. When I got it I was with my ex and she hated when I worked on it or wanted to put money into it because she knew about how much I put into my old ranger that was all tricked out. Since her and I split I've done some stuff and my new girl is all for me doing mods on it just no lift lol
I'm going simple straight pipe with my exhaust. I can't justify paying a lot for a bunch of pipes and a muffler (corsa) just need to decide what size tip I wanna run a 4 inch or 6 inch or go ballsy with an 8 inch hahaha

Also how did that roof rack work. I've thought about getting one and throwing some lights on it

Lol, I also do a lot of paving stone and walkway and flower garden work etc I can usually make 500 a week cutting grass usually do 4 a night after my day job which nets me hundred extra etc. Nah who am I kidding I can probably never give it up I always want to go bigger with the side jobs!!! Currently single at the moment too.

I bought the roof rack for half of what the guy wanted and it retails for a $1000.00 the way the guy had it set up, I really liked it he had mount breakers for one 50" forward facing light bar, 1 for a rear back up light bar and brackets on the side for shovels and high lift jack and he also carried a 37" spare as there was also a bracket on the for that in the middle. It was pretty sweet, but I didbt like the wind noise and drag it was creating but it also didn't have the wind deflectir in it either I'm sure it would have been better with that on it. I flipped for $450.00 to some kid with a Tacoma on my street and he's in love with it lol

Lol yeah I hear ya but I already work 60 hours a week on a slow week sometimes I get up to 70 or 75 then **** gets real haha. I love pavers and walls cause that's something that will stay longer than a flower or possibly a tree plus it's more craftsmanship in those than it is on planting something lol

Holy **** crossing that off the list hahaha unless Craigslist has one for dirt cheap lpl

Looking good, man! Just out of curiosity. Why did you start with a rear bumper instead of a front? Looks BA though. Fusion bumpers are sweet.
