    Thumbs up My setup not the best but it works for me



    the sign is about to be replaced just have not done it yet, got about 5 clamps on it too. I also carry 2 wood staffs if I need them I got the, and what you don't see is a 12 ga shotgun I carry if I see snakes (and yes I have used it a lot)







    there is also a tanker bar in the white tube you can not see, the coiled wire is used sometimes to tie stuff together that go into the yard ie frig doors I always have stuff in them, the magnet on a stick is made by me from stuff I got for free and it has saved my tires more times than I can count



    and the wire stripper I use

    Looks like a good use of the limited space of a smaller truck. Good job

    This just looks inefficient to me. Why not run a trailer then put all of your ewaste/ non- ferrous in the bed? Doesn't seem like you could put more than 1000lbs in the bed.

    Looks like it's getting the job done, and much more professional than most of the alley runners that I see around town. Thanks for sharing...

    The most I have put in it is about 1470 just under 3/4 ton ran out of scrap that day. I can use a 16 foot trailer from the ranch I help out with. But not all of the time, and I ask when I need it and if their kids have it well then I don't. I am a disable vet and on a limited income and can only work about 3 to 4 hrs before I have to sit down and do nothing. I have both a bad knee and a bad back but do what I can to help out with the bills. I do not do a lot of e-scrap but yes I do some. I deal with some tv's, computers, microwaves, and dvr/vcr.

    I've got one of those magnets on a stick too. It came off a big bass speaker I saw laying on side the road, done been run over at least once. It's over an inch thick, and about 5" outside diameter, handy as hek for finding nails and picking up

    what year model's that truck john ?

    if it's a 93-94 I have a Ford CD with all the specs on stuff like rear suspension, tells exactly how many pounds they're rated, gear ratios and everything, by using the axle codes and stuff.

    I am going to steal some ideas from your setup. The only thing different for me is mine is enclosed in plywood so inquiring eyes don't get to see my stuff without a concerted effort.

    I have 2 sheets of corrugated metal I put up on the sides to keep small stuff in and eyes out if I need them, they work and were free.

    Bear cool where could I get one I have been just doing what I need and hope I don't break it, so far so good BUT I should find out what I should or can carry and what I should not.

    The wire stripper is from tnttooling.com it was about $80 something after shipping, and I have used it so much that I have made back all of it and then some. I am able to strip a lot more wire than I could before.

    I will post my info in the Service Members - Roll call Thanks have not found that part yet.

    I like your set up. I have been scraping as a way to build myself up after being very ill and weakened from kidney disease. When I got started I was good for a half hour a day, sometimes two half hours work sessions. I had to take a nap every afternoon. I am much better now, the new to me kidney helped alot. Keep up the work it will help you feel better. Nothing better than a good days work even if its less than full time. Best to you and thanks for sharing, Mike.

    is yours a 93 or 4 JR? An uncle told me 95 & 96 were basically the same too.
    I got on Ebay in 96/97, I'm not sure if they still sell them or not. If it's one of those years I might can find it. I've been looking, and so far all I'm finding is GVW, and it's going by the model and wheelbase. I can at least get ya that much, given that info. This CD is hard to use, when I bought it was told it was for a 93 & 94 Ranger, but since have found it covers other trucks also, just not sure how thoroughly, because I really haven't used much for other models.

    welll, I'm not doing real good with this, on mine I could find door codes for everything.
    I'm guessing yours is a Supercab Long Wide Bed with 155in WB, it's GVW is 6250, but it should tell you that on the door.
    I'll keep looking to see if I can find codes for the F-Series
