WaxMan's Modifications to the 2013 Grand L 3240 cab

CHDinCT · Sep 3, 2013

WaxMan, glad to see you have a thread back up that's made it to 50+ posts even though you had to re-create it pic's and all. :laughing:

Anyway, in case anyone's tracking the vote, I have no issues with where you mounted the bucket cam or how it looks. It's cool, period. Back to the cab vacuum - not that I'm in the market for a cab tractor, at least now, but I never thought about how I'd keep a cab tractor clean inside. I always use my blower to blow the dirt and dust off of my BX, especially the floor area which accumulates cr@p from my boots. Can't do that with a cab tractor. You'd just have a dust cloud inside the cab. So, I think I'd actually steal your "central vac" idea if/when I get a cabby. Nice job on all of the mods. So what ya got planned next?

Thanks 94 BULLITT, trihounds and CHDinCT, Still have to make the vacuum, auto turn on, when the hose is plugged in. I have a few things planned. I'll surprise you soon. This time something everyone needs.

I have the same issue with visibility at the front bucket/forks. My best solution for critical items has been to use a spotter, but that isn't practical most often. And yes, it got a lot worse with the cab, as you can only stand up a little. I've thought that a camera might be nice, but I never figured a camera would be sturdy enough to survive, or have good enough visibility. Now you've given me something to think about. Very high quality work.:thumbsup:
