Built a drom box for the rig

I've been wanting a place to keep the mountain bikes out of view. I didn't like hanging $7500 worth of bikes on the back of the rig. I built a 36 x 91 w x 84 h to match the truck. Still have enough room for tight corners and now i can keep my golf clubs in it as well. It was a learning curve building this but one of my employees works part time at a semi trailer repair facility and helped me get my head around building this. Just used morgan box parts and lots of rivets.

Wow and I thought kayaks were expensive LOL......


That's a serious tow truck too!


With that money though I am seriously wondering what your doing with a Montana? Shouldn't you have a semi custom New Horizon or full on custom Spacecraft? You could have them add storage built for the bikes and clubs.


Also take note if you want a garage for the toys, the HC 381TH has a basement garage that is ideal for that. I only wish it came in the very top end trim of a full Monty. That may well be why we end up with one of the two brands above.......

Actually this setup was cheaper than the F450 i was looking at. I have better turn radius than the 450 , adaptive cruise, disc brakes, heated and cooled seats, refrigerator, and a kick ass stereo i put in. The wife wouldn't go back to a pick up after riding in this.

I almost passed on F250 as it was sitting high for me and the DW. Found out that's the normal height. Does the tractor come with a lift for two old farts?

The truck market is at its lowest its been in several years. Trucks with less than 300k miles are selling in n the 50k range. Add another 15k for hitch, locker, tires, batteries, sound proofing, stereo and your set for the next 10 years to 15 years.
