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!

That's one good looking trailer.

Still trucking...
Lots of MV's on the road today.

sorry no pics of the mv's

Very nice combo you have there. Seems like a very good deal for the trailer too.

Your pics & posts make me wonder why I didn't push a little harder on my bidding for those trailers.

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)
