You better get that driveway widened -- pour it a bit thicker too with lots of #4 rebar. This thing is HEAVY. Widen it out at the street so I can come in from either direction... and have 'em move the mailbox back out of the way.

Do you think the neighbor would mind if I used his (your) dragstrip to spend a couple nights once or twice a month?

What are you looking at for weight on this rig? What axles are under the trailer? Be sure it is plenty. It needs real tires not this cheap 7000lbs axle stuff. It needs big truck stuff.

Trailer has two 14,000# axles with 22.5" wheels and commercial truck tires. The trailer is all aluminum.

I don't know if it's the right thing to do or not - but I had them delete the 12KW diesel genset and the BARD A/C unit in the trailer. I'll never use it. I had them ADD a 50 amp "shore power" cord and outlet to jack the power from the Toter genset. There is a 4hp compressor on board... so that would be the big power draw.

I thought about leaving the genset etc -- but that's "pro racer boy" stuff - where they'd be working in the trailer. I'm not going to be hanging out in there... or working in there. If the car is broken - it'll just get loaded up and fixed when I get home. Or I drop it at Charley's and let him fix it. :hail: :rofl:

Why carry around all that weight - 37 gal diesel fuel tank - generator - A/C unit for "nothing". If I want to be cool - I can go inside the toter.

I was just informed that the truck is now going to use a 600hp Cummins ISX motor -- not the 525hp version.


Oh my.....
