This summer I was going to clear a hill and put jibs on it what jibs should I make and how should I make them without breaking the bank.

Truth. Build boxes out of wood. Composite decking works great as a top, if you can't afford some of the higher priced plastics.

Find whatever works. Going to the junkyard and using what you can find there works great.

Build the box out of wood. Make it strong. Put pvc pipes on top, they slide great. Just get them thick enough so they don't break.

I could sneak into the the towns junkyard that is only 3 miles away and steal supplies, but the guy is nice and lets you take any thing from his junk pile.

I bet those are hard to find, I think I've saw one.

They're easier to find than you think, see if your town or city has an industrial supplier of restaurant equipment. Call them up and ask them if they have anything like a double door freezer or a 10 foot long chest freezer they want to get rid of because it's shot. Chances are if you'll haul it away they'll love you.

The town I live in is unincorporated and the town next to it is only 2,000 people.

I can imagine someone bailing on that and ripping half their face off.
