Doghead, Agreed, arguing in the forum is not productive. Roscoe, Approprate equipment is the key. Squirt lost a trailer tire with 33,000 in tow last year, and yea I was over the "rated 30,000" limit, but fortunately, we made it in OK. We are all glad the he did not get hurt. Exceeding GVWR...

Welcome aboard! We Georgia (an near-by folks) like our green stuff. Looking forward to getting to meet. Lil-Squirt-Truck

Well... It was a great rally. Clinto, fantastic job, food was great, company was great, rides were fun, no one got hurt, (Sick don't count, glad you are better Tim.), no major damage and no serious broke parts. Got to do some recovery, even a self recovery late Friday night... FWIW, I am...

Standard and accepted practice for tag-along trailers is to have 10% of the total trailer weight on the hitch. More is better. I agree with Wiggall, your duece will handle way more than that trailer can carry. Check your weights and measures data plate, that will give the approprate trailer...

Be careful here...I resemble that last comment......

Thanks, Donation process started, waiting on reply from the foundation.

The front drive......sprag....The M-39 and M-800's use the same set-up. THe air selector is on the first/reverse shift rail. Front axle is under sprag engagement for reverse when transmission is in reverse. The sprag shifts to forward went the shift rail moves to netural. So....the drive is in...

Good to see another Georgia truck in the works. Welcome and yes you should plan on making the GA Rally and the GA MVPA Event.

Count me in and hopefully will be bringing others. Let me kniow if I can help with whatever.

DUH, we knew it was a comming after the drive last year at DuramTown. Looking great!

Grounded, we did just that a couple of years ago. The garter and the bouquet were thrown from the truck just before leaving with the couple. dc3, mud and formal just do not mix. But.....Squirt has had her time in the mud as such. Here is a picture of Dunpster following me on one of our...

Well, had a request for load work for Squirt-Truck. Needed heavy duty hauling, not exactly low profile, and darned if the 24087 failed to blend with the other haulers at the muster point. Sorry for the poor picture quality, the FOX does not really have a good photo point unless you have a press...

BioD, My uncle was Henry Elrod, Wake Island, WWII, Marine pilot, did not leave the island. Got a real neat set of coffee cups at the dedication.
