Close...

Back the trailer on a bit of an incline, remove the chains and let it roll. The half on the ground was on the tail end with the round side down. Took everything we had to get it to roll to the edge and fall off. The two big ones were easy, just stay out of the way.

The half still on the trailer will be waiting for the equipment to show up and lift it off. We just had to unload something to be able to get the trailer off the truck with the single speed jack that's on there.

Prays have been answered....

I have been trying to figure out how I was going to pay for stock injectors for my truck. Well late Sat. night I listed my landscaping trailer on CL and it was sold by Sunday 2PM. So with that $$ I will be able to buy six re manufactured injectors and make my truck reliable again..

I have had injectors issues for two years and had been putting it on the back burner. My truck has become unsafe to operate so after speaking with Chris Brahs about them it looks like we are going to get my truck fixed up pretty soon.

Praise the Lord.

I had no idea that those pipes weighed that much.

speaking of 6K, I will have to post a pic of me putting three 1800# square bales on a Chevy one ton.. . . . The truck rode like a Cadillac.

I wouldn't have guessed it either. After all, they just big round holes. But when I watched that front one roll on the trailer, it really highlighted how heavy they are.

No way baby - combat offload is build up a good head of steam in reverse and stand on the brakes...

Awesome Max -pretty cool how He might not get it to us when we want it, but He always delivers before we need it!

Which injectors are you getting?

Bone stock Bosch re man's

I can't afford tips or new ones so these will have to hold me over for a while until I get out into the working world and can afford all sorts of new goodies.

Justin, I miss the sound of my Cummins and occasionally miss shifting. I'll give you $20 if you let me take yours out for a spin. ($50 if you let me bring it home alone for about 20 minutes and don't ask any questions)

For $75, I'll let you change her oil and have it detailed (after you spend the 20 minutes, of course).

BTW, nice hide of the Ford in the sig.

I can see the Headlines now.... under "How did he die!"
Local engineer, while attempting to play a practical joke on his wife, brought home one too many trucks!
She later told police, "I don't know what came over me, I just snapped and ........"

Shoot RJ, she might be happy. She loves driving the new truck (parking is a different story) more than her Lexus. If she thought me bringing home another truck meant she could have the new one she wouldn't mind
(Let the "Queen Ranch" jokes begin)

I'm pretty sure I will be going.

Big Blue and 400 hp does not compute!
