What's your hoe doing?

Hi All, I saw a thread or two in other areas that are a showcase of the projects you have but I hadn't seen one in this section... I'm curious to know both what projects you've done, and what get's your BHL's use most.

Dual Purpose Dump-Tractor

Has anyone made their dump truck into a dual purpose Dump-tractor? Something that the dump bed can easily be removed and a fifth wheel installed.
