On the passenger side the nut came off with a big cheater bar, but the bolt was rusted into the sleeve and luckily @fuzzytoaster had a forklift handy. We used the forklift and stacked sockets to apply constant pressure on the tip of the bolt, then I hit the underside of the fork with a sledge...
If I recall right….. was that a square head bolt?
Mine looks really rusty and would not be surprised if I have to replace.

Anyone have a write up or video on the easiest way to get the driver side swapped? I did the passenger side once and it was no fun. Had to use a forklift to lift on the bolt tip then a sledge hammer to pop it loose. I don’t have access to a forklift anymore. The driver side looks worse….

Created a new post on how to swap bushings:

My bushing on the passenger side was swapped when I did the winch install…. It was a pain!
No trying to hijack, just seams relevant….

I just remembered. I threw away my old valve and replaced it with a new one. I had to rotate the knobs 90 degrees to have the text oriented correctly….. but, when I pushed the pins out to do so, they were new. That may explain why Chucky is having a harder time than me.

From that link, it looks like no extra lights than are already on the truck are required. Did I read that wrong? I would be under 30 feet long.

Do you have to have them day one or is that a nice to have. I imagine temporary boxes don’t need them, but when is it a requirement?

Coach,
While your ideas are possible, they won’t work in my set up.
I think I can handle rolling a tire and using a shovel to get it back on. Plus, I have 6 tires. I am going to have to roll most likely anyway.
Thanks

That is definitely a diverse set of pictures. That deck one is pretty neat, but not in my KISS requirement.
The yellow truck is closed to what I am thinking, but the tire bottoms will be at top of frame height.

Well, I have an MTV, so I can carry more weight. If I towed a jeep, I would not need the bike. So for me it is one or the other.

Based on your idea above……. I like the idea of the cradles and then just an all-thread center bolt (in the hub space) and a large DIY wing nut to cinch it down.

Coach,
The motorcycle I am talking about would be a small dirt bike (maybe 400cc max).
I don’t have the weights, but I am not all that worried. It does not seam like much of a big deal to this large of a truck.
