I will take 1500 as is right now from anyone on here, 2000 with the 4 new E rated trailer tires.

I decided on my way home from LM that I'm going to try and sell this, and make my lowboy a stepdeck with the proceeds. Put the popup on the neck plus 2 cars, or be able to fit 3 cars. To buy the actual type of stepdeck I want, I'm looking at 20 grand or so - it would be a custom trailer. I figure I can do this work and net even money instead of costing 10 grand - hopefully while re-decking, and maybe even having it blasted for repaint.


I'd like to park 928, 571, 572 nose to tail and get real length numbers to work with. May as well look at cab to axle space and height on the international too so there could be one other potential tow rig. I'm okay commiting myself to a flatbed or a tractor to do my heavy towing. It's silly to waste that neck length.

15K is too much weight on those axles in my opinion.  three real cars vs three 3200lb cars is different.

[mr.mindless]

back of envelope says 28350 gross (going light on the cars), 15100 on 14k worth of trailer axles.

going with 5k each car, 15700/ 29150

that's assuming 20% tongue weight, and current trailer weight. Tongue and trailer total would be a bit more than that. Seems within enginearing tolerance

One whole car will basically be on the truck axle though right? That's how baby 7k trailers get away with telling you its ok to put 6k on them. Not that I would, but this stuff is much more HD

And the next broken rim candidate goes to mike!!

needs kitchen hauler 10K oil baths

Some shitstain cut the 7pin cord off this thing. Wtf?

Ramps still there. Suspension parts still in the toolbox. Plate still on it.

"Showing" tomorrow morning. Potential disaster. Stay tuned!

[M4wdFab]

that sucks

[KingtheZJ]

Let me know when it falls through and I'll lowball you

i'm joking.

kinda.

[mr.mindless]

1500 wasnt lowball enough?? Lol

[mr.mindless]

Anyone remember if my extension cord had been on/with the wedge? Wasn't in my toolbox, that's usually where it got used.

[KingtheZJ]

Shit. I think I have it.

When do you need it? I can drop off at lunch if needed or at 5pm

[mr.mindless]

that's great news!

if you could drop it after work that'd be awesome. The cord on his trailer is too short to reach the plug on my deck. I have the opposite problem from you pickup truck guys since I haven't put a plug back on the tail of the bed yet after the rewiring I had to do.

so is this thing sold?
