Looks like a whole house to me. Just knocked down flat for lower wind resistance.

Holy Cow! Looks great! I love how level your truck looks under load! I love my training wheels, tho I was the biggest skeptic about buying them. Do you put up the structures when you get there, or just deliver the materials? As much as I love driving, I am seriously considering some hotshot work, but am too scared of the DOT side of it!

Awesome! I love to see our trucks towing loads. Around here, I usually see the Fords and chevies with the trailer loads, so I am soaking up this thread!! My truck used to haul a three car wedge back and forth from the dealer to the auctions. I got a great price on it because of this, and the salesman was chastized for disclosing the details to me The dealership used it that way for about a year. They claimed the previous owner didn't tow smart and dented the box sides with the GN, but I know where the auto auction the dealer goes to is. The driveway down from the highway is about as steep as I've seen into a business, with little to no room to swing a load without finding the ditch. I have little doubt that they put the dents in it themselves before they figured out how to get lined up right for the driveway!

Ya that is a bit much on a single wheel for sure, I wouldn't have done it with out the dually. It pulled in no problem, hadled well, trailer brakes could be a little better though.

Nope just sell and deliver, and normally never that far. But this was for a long time customer building a cabin up in Canada so we did it. We have bigger trucks but running up into Canada with out the correct permits with them is tuchy.

The truck did hadle all the pin weight good, ride was a little rough. Have the scale slip at home but think the truck was around 14,000#

Yeah...no way is that a real picture. That truck would be sitting on the ground begging for mercy.

That's a great looking rig there Mopar. How do you get around the 23,000 GCWR? Have you ever been weighed?

I have never been scaled no. I really never travel that far to worry about it. Normally only a couple of times a year and that is to haul the trucks to a local mud hole to go play in.
