We "may" be up at Hannegan to watch the so called races on Thursday, depending on if I get a camper etc.
Would need to find a place to stay Thursday night if we can't stay over at the track.

If the kids are set up for MX, you should bring them out to Hannegan this weekend for our series.
I'm betting it would be fun for them.
Practice Saturday, with maybe some Team and Rhino racing saturday evening.
Then racing on Sunday.
They may even have some different fun events, but I'm not totally sure on that.

 

You are right Rod,
Apache won't sell ya the 1140 or 1150 without a dually. I was looking at the 1150 when the sales guy came up to me and asked how I was doing. I told him I wish I had bought a dually so I could get the 1150. He said "oh good" I didn't want to dissapoint you buy telling you this one wouldn't work with the single rear axle.
My tires are load range E and are rated at over 3,000 each. But it don't matter if they were rated at 5000 each with the single rear axle. The problem is the GVWR and the GAWR for the rear. You can add airbags, larger load range tires, different springs, but the manufacturers GVWR and GAWR won't change. I'm not about to go grossly over the manufacturers ratings and put myself or others at risk. Sure the truck will probably tow that weight, but I don't believe it is all that safe.
As it is, I think I would be a litte over those ratings with the 990 and towing my trailer (due to the tongue weight).
I won't be over the GCWR, but may be way over the GAWR for the rear and a little over the GVWR.
Not sure though, we'll see.
I'm gonna hit the scales tomorrow and see exactly where I would be with the camper and trailer fully loaded.

This whole weight issue is what steered me away from a motorhome. I didn't want to spend $90,000 + on a motorhome (probably more) that would be close to the capacity I need. Most gas class A's don't have any more than a 5,000/500 lb receiver, and you cannot use a weight distribution system with most class A's or any class C's.
I've learned lots about them in the past month. I can't believe how many motorhomes (mostly class C's) that are way over there GVWR, way way way over their GAWR in the rear and thus way way over the GVWR due to the tongue weight of the trailer they are hauling.

been very educational for me..........
But also very hectic trying to find something to work and stay somewhat within the weight limits.
I am researching a different trailer to try and lose as much weight as I can..........

 

Gee, all this talk about me and I wasn't even around to participate. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Seriously, I have been in a foul, foul mood all day(really all week) and popped around to catch up before bed. You guys are all the bestest. I absolutely appreciate every one of you. You totally tanked my crappy mood and made me laugh out loud. Been needing it, too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

As far as the out shooting Rancher, guess that will have to be one of those things that only time will tell. If it's a contest at shooting off at the mouth, he wins hands down. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] j/k Rancher, all in fun. You da mayun! Now, about outriding me...You're gonna NEED that 800 to even try. Bring it, big boy.

If Rod doesn't want those from you, I am interested for the R450. I am thinking the extra height will be good for the trail, but have been debating between 20's or 22's. I am also curious how much power it will rob with the extra weight and size. It's the same setup I have on the Z, so I may try out mine to see if I like the feel of them. Hate to put wear on your new ones to find I hate them. Just keep me in mind.

 

Mornin' PSAR

 

Go for it!

 

If you couldn't keep up with Jayna, OFC would be a spec in the distance!

 

I don't think I'll need any pulling!

 

Jayna, go get the tires. I don't have time to pick them up before my ride today.

 

Good Morning PSAR
