Really nice. One thing if you go with the trailer if its open get int lined with rhino liner or something. Let the love eat through it first rather than the trailer

You can throw your ladders away too! That thing is high, you could just pull right up to the house and start spraying! LOL.

IF you can get one done at reaSONABLE COST, it is well worth it! That truck sits up high and proud, just like that old girlfriend we all fondly remember, LOL
With a wrap on it, it will be generating work every time it hits the streets. It may even be intentionallly parked at busy intersections, when not in use

Got a quote on the wrap,and its around 2-$3,000. Depending on the artwork

Im still using a trailer pulled by a 2006 F150. I am actively looking for a NPR or something similar.

nice truck i have a 2008 f250 super duty. Got a price of 3300 to wrap entire truck and design.

Is that gas or disiel? I got a 5.4 and i burn some fuel.

Guest

I miss my truck. But 12 miles a gallon with 35's gets old quick. Looks great. Just remember a wrap is 3-5 years if your lucky from what I was told.

Wraps deffinately get attention. And you guys are right, cost is $2000-3000, and life is only 3-5 years on a vehicle. Nice truck btw.

I track how every customer that I do business with finds me. Very few mention the nice logo and lettering on my truck. Usually only low ballers call. I wonder if a warp would make that big of a difference. Does any one have actual figures to qualify it? A lot of bucks for something that is only going to last 3 years & is exposed to our SH element.

Marcus, it really depends on the Location. IN FL, Don Phelps gets tons of calls off of his wraps. I think ive gotten 15 calls off of my truck, and only done 2-3 of those jobs. People in Houston just dont know what roof cleaning is yet. But they will...

Do NOT get a Mitsubishi version of an Isuzu, unless it is an HD, they just can't take it. The small turning radius of an Isuzu is the chit, you will love it, but try for the HD model, although the regular Isuzu works, as long as you dont put 500 to 600 gallons on it. Invest in Transmission cooler too if not HD, a good one!

We have a Mitsubishi FUSO with a 14' box for the other side of the business (Home Improvement)...It carries every tool imaginable to build/remodel/repaint/build custom cabinets/tile/paint sprayers/paint/fasteners/lumber/no less than 7 HD extension ladders from 16'-32'. Basically every tool from each trade to build a house from the ground up,start to finish, minus hvac and elect. It carries a lot of weight everyday, has 200k miles on it and gets 15mpg. Fully lettered for the rolling billboard effect...love that truck! And like Chris said, the turning radius is insane.

I don't know if it's a HD model though?!

Lets see a pic of that truck setup.

HydraMax · Guest

Great looking truck! Make sure if you have any head gasket problems down the road, install ARP Headstuds when changing the gaskets. You'll be happy you did it down the road...
