lots of ground clearance
the ramps are too heavy to move very far by myself. I have some alum ones that will work for most vehicles
I set the car ramps up for the kids to play on.
the landing gear is super slow. It has an interesting ratchet on the crank

it does. its a little stiff. I greased it. Now I will probably have to "exercise" it some more and re-grease.

$1500 to ship it back to MI. By the time I get it fixed I will probably have 3k into it. still a fair priceArmada said:

That looks awesome and if that was the one with the wheel bearing issue how hard was that to fix it looked like a simple re-assemble job to me. I live in Maryland and if I was home I would have been bidding against you I just don't think my sons would have been able to recover it for me.

It seems all they did to make the 809's was to take the old gaser 5 ton and add 12" or so right in the middle of the front end and stuck the 250 in it. Thats why the transmision does not work with the eng's RPM range. and they move the air intake to the other side.wsucougarx said:

We used to get cab cards from the state but iirc no running at night or weekends. this was for the 10` wide lowboys and even then the load quite often hung over a little......
