What is Skip now helping you with pictures for your posts also? Or did he Hack your account?

I had no idea how much work it would take to order one of these rigs! Of course... I'm making it more work than it should have to be because of the choice to do all custom built. But what the heck -- I think everyone should get what they want -- and not settle -- and not get what they DO NOT want.

Between the trailer -- and the options and choices on the toter -- it's amazing all the little things to discuss.

Came up with a 36' gooseneck stacker -- which gives me 36' of upper deck -- which will take the Mustang and the '32 and have 2' of dead space between the rear - the middle and the front... both of these cars are only 51 or 52" tall -- and the upper deck is 57". Since I'm doing an "internal" lift -- I can actually vary that space for the car on the back end a little.

I measured the MBZ -- that big ole POS is 17' long and 58" tall -- so it will have to ride on the main deck... which will be 28' -- and that's plenty with cabinets etc up front... and room for spare tires etc.

The tailgate is hydraulic -- but that's just to open and close since it's not a lift gate.

I'm also having two axles -- @ 14,000# each -- and 22.5" wheels... and they'll be spread axles.

I'll have a better idea -- and a line item list -- on Tuesday for all the other stuff. I have to tell you guys -- this is kinda fun to say the least! And I can assure you that we'll all put this bad boy to good use!

:cheers: :unibrow:

congrats Greg, you'll have a ball with this setup. :thumbsup:

Thanks Jody!

Last week was a classic example of where we would have used it -- I'd have stayed in Scottsdale and then headed over for Del Mar... then... who knows where but it would have been in the SUN! Not rusting away up here!

Probably would have called Charley to see if I could leave it there - and back the MBZ out and head home - then back down for April Thunderhill event. :woot: Not sure I can afford the rent he would want to charge me though. :rolleyes:

he loves you man.............. he'd never charge you rent. :lol:

Dang Greg! That is a huge rig! When you said stacker, I thought 2 cars not 3 and a half!

Greg, if I can help you out in the flooring options/selection process I'd be glad to consult. Having functional yet stylish products in RV's insures positive first impressions (owner & guests) and reduces the maintenance, cleaning, and replacement cycles. Traffic is very concentrated in the confined spaces of RV's so soiling and wear is accelerated compared to normal/typical residential and commercial applications. The objective is more time recreating and less maintaining and upholding the proper Weld image. :D

Well thanks for the offer! But they have this stuff down pretty well...


This is the floor I've chosen -- Granite -- and it will have hyrdonic under floor heat...

Trailer - which is their new design with the "full size" tires...

One thing I'm finding out in this "process" is that there's a whole bunch of regulations to deal with!

Washington allows 75' total combined length.... and California only allows 65' but if I'm licensed in Washington then they go by Washington rules... so I'm okay there.

The problem is a 36' stacker and a 24' toter is over the limit by a lot! So I'm going to have to do some trimming somewhere! The toter, bumper to ball is 40' 6" and the stacker is 36' 7"..... OOPS!
