Ford Crew cabs w/7.3 Diesel
just wanna see the fuel bill with the new toy box in tow. That's a lot of frontal area for a tiny little 6.0 gasser. But she did get a real oven though.... LOL
Did you see Miki's post about wanting to haul it again.. haha..so maybe it will be the big Dodge doing most of the work? But one question, if they lift the trailer due to my truck being lifted.... can Miki haul it since his truck isn't???

I've always had pull behinds so this will be my first 5th wheel...Hopefully at least Miki will now allow me to turn on the dang generator! Here's the beast..The new toy!

I give you one tow and you're in for air bags on your truck. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Make sure to get a sliding hitch as well. That's what they should be selling you since you're a short bed.
It depends on what they do, and how it's set up. Most 5th wheels have an adjustable pin box. I would assume they are going to put the pin box as high as it will go. Only problem with that, will be that you have less bed to trailer clearance.

Back from Hollister. Kind of a crappy riding day. Didn't get out of town until 8:30 (supposed to have been 7!) Get up there and TWO people forgot their keys. Then one guy endos (or who knows what happens) his YFZ450. OUCH.
Only got about an hour on the bike. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Tie rod held together. And it actually felt like it handled REALLY good. Maybe it's because I get this one-with-Hollister thing going on up there. Drizzled a little bit. Wet+cold = me(status=cold as h3ll). Trails we awesome. Could have been a little drier.
But hey, to keep it on topic, rode in a an old body style PSD. LOL 4" exhaust, and no muffler from what I could tell. LOUD. Used like over 1 tank on the dual getting there....70+ MPH. Used like 1/2 of one coming home about 60.

why not axle flip? gives ya about 8" lift, and is simple. just put the springs on top of the axle, instead of under it.

That sounds like a great way to get a new quad. When the next trip?

IF you can't afford to pay for the fuel to use the thing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] You can't afford it in the first place[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I think I told you guys about going over the bars at Miami when LJ, MD and his daughter? Well I just noticed that what I thought was bent bars, is a bent stearing stem. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Going to try and play with the tie rods and take some of it out.
