Project Build: Mitsubishi Blower Truck

Action Video!

Finally, here's an action video of the build. I transported the truck up to northern Wisconsin to test it out in a variety of conditions. From several inches of snow to over 3' that has been sitting for weeks, here's the build at work:

When does the production of for sale units start Dan?

Hey Dan.

I'm in the final stages of complete pricing for installed packages. We've taken what we've learned from the build of "proto-type" unit and know that this will have to be a custom install on a per unit basis. This is due to obvious, and not-so-obvious reasons:

1. Variations between trucks - Manufacturers and Model years
2. Customization of "quick-release" mounts
3. Blower manufacturer does not drop-ship
4. Additional parts or fabrication needs per truck type
5. Quality control aspects

We are able to ship blower units, but only after they arrive to our location so in most cases, we see customers having us install the units on their truck for turn-key performance. We must also be aware that the manufacturer only builds so many units per year of each model type so it is important to get an order in ASAP before stock runs-out. I became very aware of this as we just ordered a 72" system for a customer with a mid-90's Suzuki.

Feel free to email or call me to discuss further in the mean time.

 

Thought I'd share a few more pics.

Here's our 95 Mitsu sitting and waiting for more snow:



Here's another of one of our customers that installed a 72" Blower on his 96 Zuki that we set-up for him last year:
