imo .. you want to disassemble and reassemble anyway.. so..

pull off the fence system
remove the extension wings
remove the motor
that leaves the enclosed stand and top
you could remove the top also

you are going to want to adjust all these parts anyway.. so you may as
well move in parts, so they don't get damaged and then put it together
properly

the heaviest of those parts is probably 200#

hauled it. The kit was installed just a MONTH before Hurricane

debris and tree trunks to the dump, even Mrs. Nonny thought my

The other incredibly handy thing I had was a chain hoist in the
lower level garage. When bringing home a planer, for instance, I
pulled under it, hitched the pallet to the hoist and raised it a
couple inches. I then drove the truck out from under it, and
lowered the pallet to a plywood, wheeled platform. That rolled
right into the shop. Cool, and with no helper needed.

If you were to leave a load of steel in the middle of the road (other
than in front of your house) on a snowy night for those bastids who
throw snow into your yard every day, would it be fun? I wonder how
many cars those guys hit every day. Luckily, we receive hardly a
flurry here in SoOr.

I looked into those when I got my truck and found that the Tundra has
a custom shaped bed which would prevent the use of a dump bed kit.
Interference fits and all that, unless I moved the bed back a couple
inches, making the truck look awfully funny. The dump bed setups which
fit into the bed are ghastly expensive at $3.5k. I passed on them and
bought a $70 Load Handler. I'm going to get a drop-in bedliner next
week (ordering this week) and it will make the LH work a lot better
pluls make my bed cleanups a whole lot nicer, especially for compost,

What did you pay for your kit, or did you build it all yourself?

Yeah, nice going. I finally sold the old truck with the crane
installed and bought a fold-up HF 2T shop hoist. That, too, makes
lots of things a one-man job. Handy gadgets, they is.

One other option that hasn't been mentioned is to rent a towable engine
hoist. I'm not sure how easy it would be to attach to a unisaw but I used
one to move a large wood stove a few years back and it worked great (and
was pretty cheap -- under $20 to rent).

My kit was power up and power down for a Dodge 2500 V-10 4X4. It
came from FL and the installed cost in about
'95 was $1850. The power down option gives you more control, I
felt and the valve only added about $50 to the cost. The only
gripe I had was that the bed had to be tilted about 30degrees to
clear the cut-off fuel filler spout. The dog hated that. The
only change I made in the setup was to move the switch from the
dash to the panel behind/to the side of the driver's seat. That
way I could stand beside the truck when dumping and maintain a
better view. It was very, very handy.

Piece of cake. Slotted section in the bed with rubber flaps. Or just a
divot in the bedside where the riser tube comes up.

2 Caveats:

1) If you have one of those "lovely" sprayed in bedliners, it won't
work as-is. You'll have to get the $lip-$heet they sell.

2) If you have no liner, a second load of gravel will scratch the ****
out of your paint. DAMHIKT. (I'm getting a drop in liner. I ran with
one for 17 years and it was as good the year I sold the truck as the
year I installed it.) I have a rubber mat down now, which I have to
remove to use the LoadHandler. A 5x7' poly tarp allows it to slide
more easily on the scratched floor of the bed.

The week after I paid $70 for mine at Schucks auto Parts, they went on
sale at Bi-Mart for $40. DO look for sales. (eBay is out, too pricy)

If you ever break the right side bracket (heavy load), ask for a left
side bracket with bumper strap to replace it. These things are
guaranteed and LJ will ship the replacements free (1 experience), so
just do it!

I use it at least 3 times a year for myself and half a dozen (or more)
times for clients. Compost, gravel, sand, topsoil, and bark are my
main uses, but I wish I'd thought to use it for the 4 truckloads of
trash I took to the dump for a client last week. I'd have had to
unload the corners, but it would have saved time and energy.

A second load? Do you mean that laying the roll-out tarp back over residual gravel from the

or clean-out of the bed would alleviate this, or am I missing something?

I use my (Tundra) truck for hauling wood. I baby it (change oil,
washings, regular maintenance) because it is the only vehicle I own. I
guess I treat it like a car. When I bought it new the spray-on liner
was $1100 (ouch), so I got the traditional liner and I'm happy with
it. My driveway is sloped concrete, the tailgate almopst touches the
driveway, so I can almost use it like a loading dock for big items.

I'm just wondering if the OP bought the saw and how it got to it's new home.

That drives me nuts.
I will pass those douchebags, on the speed bumps, in my minivan!

A second load? Do you mean that laying the roll-out tarp back over residual gravel from the
first load will cause scratching while unloading the second?

Yes.


I presume that a good sweeping
or clean-out of the bed would alleviate this, or am I missing something?

You have to thoroughly clean both the bed and the roll. The wire mesh
in the material for the roll gets the minus (stone chips/dust from
1/4- gravel) embedded. Compost is much less scratchy. But a drop-in
liner will fix it up for me, precluding that from ever happening
again. I'll sand and seal the bed bottom first, though.

Oh please. You guys have trucks, use them as trucks.
Don't tell me you guys are like these soccer mom/dads I see around here
in their Caddilac "pick-up" trucks that are glorified minvans.

Ooh, oohh, don't scratch my truck. God forbid it might look like I
actually use it like a *truck.* :-p

Hey, if you want rusty crap all over whatever you lay into the bed of
_your_ truck, that's up to you. But don't put it on mine, thanks. I'd
also prefer that the truck bed lasts as long as the truck does,
please.

I get a whole lot more compliments on my work vehicle now than I did
with a 17 y/o F-150 with the paint peeling off.

LOL! I'm with you; I definitely don't baby my truck, but I do enjoy having the spray-in
bedliner because it keeps things from sliding around. I was just kinda confused by Larry's
statement in question 2, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered asking.


I use my (Tundra) truck for hauling wood. I baby it (change oil,
washings, regular maintenance) because it is the only vehicle I own. I
guess I treat it like a car. When I bought it new the spray-on liner
was $1100 (ouch),

Who saw YOU coming? Le Hilton Trucque Outlette? Hayseuss Crisco!

My liner is going to cost $269, installed. I paid just $125 for the
first one, 19 years ago.


so I got the traditional liner and I'm happy with
it. My driveway is sloped concrete, the tailgate almopst touches the
driveway, so I can almost use it like a loading dock for big items.

Condolences on being a bottom dweller, Fishy. (person on the bottom of
the road instead of uphill-- where the water ISN'T.)

Such a shame everyone in this thread is so far away from me. I have an
extra liner (Duraliner) for a Chevy truck sitting around that I'd be happy
to just give away to someone who needed one. I just couldn't bring myself
to simply cut it up and throw it away.

that's exactly how I use it.

Yeah, that burns me up, too. I drive up over curbs and speed over
bumps as if they weren't there, and, to a truck, they aren't! When I
take people over speed bumps fast, I see them grab for something to
hold onto but then they exclaim "Wow, I thought we'd hit our heads
when you went over it that fast, but I hardly even felt it." sigh

Heh heh heh. Speaking of dirt bikes, I used to follow my friends on
their dirtbikes (Combat Wombats, of course) in my Corvair convertible.
There was a track above the Mayfair Market in Vista, CA which was just
right for me to get airborne without breaking anything. Ahh, memories!

I'm not talking about having a vehicle you like, that is a pleasure to
drive, and I didn't think you were, either.

I'm talking about someone else complimenting me for a vehicle I drive.

Yeah, I couldn't care less about being complimented on how nice my vehicle is, but I'm also
a Tundra driver and I see where Larry's coming from. I've always enjoyed driving a
well-made, high-quality vehicle, and moving up from a '91 Chevy S10 to the Tundra was a huge

(You're talking about vainglorious beemer owners, aren't you? Heh heh

I agree, and didn't buy a show truck. I got a standard-cabbed,
standard-bed (6.5'L) work truck, but I'd rather not scratch it up
unnecessarily. (Do you know what they're getting to paint a freakin'
truck nowadays? Keeriste!)

The few compliments (the "strokes") aren't bad to contend with.
They're an added, unexpected little bonus.

I have a good friend here who takes and uses his Unisaw to the

Claims to not have any problems with losing settings.

I'm looking at a Unisaw on CL. I have a Dodge Ram pickup that can
handle the load but I have no idea how I’d get the thing into the
bed
of the truck (just me & wife). The saw is not nearby and a bit of
a

could rent a U-Haul? Recommendations?
