Sweet ! U will have the full blown 1 before you know it !! Something tells me i'll be seeing a green trailer behind a desert tan M916 from time to time soon lol .

 

[powerhouseduece]

Any clue on how much it weighs? I'm sure with a m920 and that trailer, you get close to the legal limit real quick. If you load it to capacity, you might be over weight.

Truck weights 31,000 ish the trailer started out at 17K but im guessing it picked up another 1000 LBS so there is still room to carry stuff weight wise.

It would have looked better in Tan!!!

The painter told me he painted it Desert tan but I think he is color blind LOL

I don't know if you ever changed the wheels but I've changed a many 20" Dayton wheels over to 22.5". Every 22.5 Dayton wheel I've seen will fit in the place of a 20". Most all dumptrucks you see are running 22.5 Daytons on the tag axle. They aren't very hard to find.

M16ty, I would love to put the 22.5s on it but for now I have run out of trailer funds. I was quoted for 8 tires and 8 rims mounted ( Low profile 22.5s and new rims ) like 4K I have 7 1100 x 20s that are new. There a bit taller than I want, But beggers can't be choosers . I think I may have found a 8th 1100 x 20 but waiting for a call back. I have my Ramp switch and stenciling done. Will need to try and take a picture or 2 by the weekend.

[R Racing]

Thanks John ! He does alot of custom trailers, They have been a friend of the familys for 38 years and we still help each other out. Now I'm ready for your next big purchase and recovery if you need a hand lol

 

[jcappeljr]

Sounds good..

 

[eldgenb]

dammit, I hate that all of you guys are on the east coast, I feel so alone over here at times, Aside from Scott and Dave

 

[R Racing]

Well If you were here we would bore you with our trucks and our big trailers !! LMBO

 

[R Racing]

BTW got my switch mounted and The trailer stenciled. Just need to run 1 more wire for battery charging. I'll try and snap a few pics tomorrow

 

[R Racing]

Here are the pic's . There is some over spray and My stencils wouldn't hold there shape like I had hoped ( need to find a nice set of metal 1s ) Excuse the forsale sign . I have a shared drive and my neighbors place is for sale. Still have the power wire to run and install the tag light. The trailer connector next to the switch is for a remote cable for the ramps incase your hauling a load that the ramps can't come all the way up , You gan jog them in place but not hit what your hauling with the ramps if that makes any sence.
