    Here is one of our haulers, and if we need a trailer then u-haul charges $20.00 for 2 hours. Cheap deal. For smaller stuff and scouting I use my '99 Taurus. The truck has a 305 with a 5 speed and 373 rear end with duals.

    Have alittle door rust on the truck?

    An Dixiedeadhead running the veggie oil is awesome as hell. Some of the best fuel I have ever used.

    LOL
    We're lucky the doors still close tight. lol Don't have to look pretty to haul scrap; It has a 305 with a 5 speed. Actually pretty good fuel mileage.

    2004 F-150 SuperCrew, 4x4, but only 5.5' box. Gets the job done and is my daily driver.
    Also have been using my dad's '87 Dakota longbox reg cab 2wd. This is a perfect scrapping truck except for the fuel-sucking carb lol :P
    Seriously thinking about a trailer in the 4x6 / 5x8 range.

    Was wondering what kind of systen you use and where you get your oil. Do you have a tank that pre heats?

    93 Ford F-150XL, 8ft. Bed, 4inch lift. This truck is a beast, can haul alot and get most places to find it.

    Also, i have not seen one of these posted yet, but i also use my 2007 Arctic Cat 700 quite often. Its great to scout in the woods, haul things back, ect... Ive prolly overloaded the quad a few times but it's a great asset for where i live. It also has a 2500lb. winch on it for pulling the scrap out of the pits. And on them easy days, take a ride in the woods, pick up lb. after lb. of aluminum cans and watch them build up!

    2000 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton. I've had it two years and the rear end went out and had to be rebuilt - not sure what the previous owner did to it to leave it in that condition! But it runs great and hauls great - it has that haul/tow button I can use when I'm really heavy with a load, never saw that before in a truck.

    lol its because the tractor is built for row-cropping, If you had that loader on the front, you would have that b!tch tipped on her side in seconds trying to pick anything up lol But ya very funny looking none the less
