Guess it didn't make it into the bed. How's it doing, do u still have it in the truck?

I don't think it will work for wide items like engines.. to clear the gate you need the arm all the way out, but once you swing it arm hits the far side of the bed walls. Would have to remove the tailgate to work

Man your a youtube natural.. This channel is gonna blow up!

Don't normally comment on videos, but you did an excellent job! Straight to the point and great work all around. My friend sent me this as he has MS and wants me to install so he can use the lift for a wheel chair. Will just replicate and save me some extra thinking time, lol. Keep it up.

Love the braces, maybe overkill but I would do the exact same thing. Better overkill than dangerous. Bravo, I feel better now installing mine, this is the best vid iv'e seen. TY.

I did something similar but i mounted mine by my wheel well. I only had an inch of room under the bed so i used a piece of 1" plate 13"x45" across the wheel arch of the frame along with 3/4" gussets and it doubles as gooseneck hitch. I also added a winch and a shiev pulley 2:1 to help slow down the winch speed and make it easier on the winch motor as well. Next step for mine is to add a 12v hydraulic jack for the boom height.

Finally, this vid shows how to brace it right. So many others install theirs and have to do it over and still its not braced enough. Thanks for sharing.

Good video, thanks! What are the dimensions of the base plate?

Great brackets i think i will try that on my old dodge. I like how it ties into both frame rails.

Same thing I plan to do. Don’t want the extra weight of the welder at all times making my gas milage go down unless I’m doing a job

A long arm jack would be more useful to get the boom up with a load and clear the truck bed. A hand winch on it would be another useful addition. Nice job reinforcing the bed. Too many people actually believe the advertising and just install it. A good way to trash your bed.

​@@quickspoolgarage about to do this where did you buy the 2x2?

Metal square tubing along inside of the edge of the frame, you know he'll I don't know 3/4 ft to the front you know so it's pulling on them back now. Then they're pissed it really is you know if you're pulling off the back and I'm pulling off of sideways so it's just going to rock that over and roll it over to bring weight to it but he needs a lateral link to the bed front-to-back

Great video bro

Nice work. A bit overkill using .250 wall. That's enough for a gooseneck hitch in a 1 ton, and probably double the thickness of your trucks frame itself. Also thicker than any engine hoist frame. But i guess if you have it laying around why not.

I need to do this. Would you explain how you got access.. removing the lights, or whatever. I just looked under the truck to see if there was a way to get to it from the underside, but it did not look like one could. And, thank you. Great video.

Super easy unbolt the fuel nozzle neck usually 3-4 screws, remove the torx bolts holding the bed to the frame, and unplug the main harness to the taillights most of the time it’s right behind the spare tire.

really considering getting this for my truck bed. Thanks for the video.

Can you get the crane high enough to put the engine on the bed tho?? Was thinking of getting one for loading welder but it seems like it doesn’t have the reach

Is the gas tank far out of the way when you are welding? That's the only thing that would give me pause welding under there. Thanks!!

@@quickspoolgarage Thanks but I meant the dimensions for the tubing: cuts for length from end to end.

You need a bigger crane, this is basically only useful for 500lb loads as the boom needs to be extended all the way. On top of that there isn't much room to lift larger objects. Useful, but not as useful as it could have been for the same amount of effort.

Why don't you remove the tailgate before you lift something with your crane?
