It's called "Iron PLANET".....not "Iron RELIABILITY"......lol I'm sure he will be there.

Good luck with your haul....I picked one up a few weeks ago at Ft. Carson, Co and had to drag it over 3 mountain passes in a blizzard.... :( Mine towed great!

Well I'm on my way back to FLA. Trailer pulls super easy. Two tires are not as good as I would like (dry). Needs some paint and decking. Not to bad for $770.
Truck is running good. Rear hub and diff are running hotter then the rest. 125* hub and 160*diff. Air temp 86*
Now for some lunch of champions!

Well I made it home! 810 mile round trip in 21hrs. I averaged 7.6mpg empty and 7.0 withe the trailer.
Trailer pull nice up until the end. It started raining and I guess the lack of traction, caused the tire to wonder. It was shaking its tale good. Only did it when it was wet. Dry pavement there was very little movement. I will have to rebuild the brake canisters.(leaking) I also have a bad tire vib on my M923 at 42 to 50. I think it is the front right.
Thanks for the help and advice guys! I'll post some pics tomorrow. (Man this trailer is BIG)
