Pics of me towing stuff

[A4L7E3X]

Nothing too exciting, but some of the junk that I have dragged around the state.

And it's not towing, but one of an engine that I collected which was a "get it out of here yourself" sort of deal, and had to take the crane with me.

Nice Ute

From last grass drag in october, gotta do it at least once a season.

You might be a redneck....

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Sorry for the crappy pic, all I could find on short notice. It's from the movie Out Cold.

I was trying to remember the name of that movie too! lol

Finally got rid of the 06 CTD I bought new and bought me a new 21 Duramax this year. I figure keeping a truck 15 years is enough..

Love the truck. The 10 speed is pure sex for towing.

 

[Wades_76_cj7]

damn that is a lot of boat behind a pickup!

Also have the '17 dually for the shop that the old man drives daily.

The heaviest one is only about 18k amd that's the blue one behind the dually. The rest are 12-14.

My truck is rated for 14.5 off the ball hitch

i would have guessed heavier.. shows that i know fuck all about boats.

If I had drove any further, this would probably belong in the BDL thread. Especially with the roads all being snow and ice.

4k lbs trailer, ~1k frozen clay, 8k of base rock.....seemed to handle it OK, it was less than 2 miles, should have used 4low.

Testing to see if I figured out how to share from photobucket

Are we on an OBS ferd trend here?

In the spirit of the OBS trend

 

[Wades_76_cj7]

that's a nice looking Centurion

 

[Projectjunkie]

My old truck chained the bus bumper to bumper and dragged it 5 miles of dirt roads, met the wrecker at pavement to haul to scrap yard

 

[FleshEater]

From a month or so ago. Loaded my dad up with a lot of fresh shag bark hickory. His Ford wasn’t inspected so he beat on my Chevy all day.

 

[YotaAtieToo]

Poor F150 getting a workout, well not really, it handles this stuff great actually.

Getting parts to fix the 97. ~230 miles each way, 4k steel 22' tilt deck. 80 mph in 6th no problem. 65 mph back in 5th @ 2100 95% of the time. Occasionally 4th at 2800, 2 or 3 times in 3rd at 3500. Didn't even bounce around much and I think I pulled the truck too far up. Air bags would have been nice to get rid of the Cali lean, but it really wasn't bad.

That was one of the first aluminum 1/2 tons. I had a steel 14 made in 8 of 14 and this aluma made in 3 of 15. Took this pic while loading up with methanol. Only filled each tank 1/2 way to evenly distribute the weight. The trailer alone weighed over 10K loaded. Went 22 miles but didn’t get over 55 mph. Truck pulled it fine but the truck was easily pushed around by the trailer. Statute of limitations is up on hauling a hazmat quantity of a flammable liquid with a truck not rated to haul the weight.

Smart man.

 

[Thefishguy77]

Cool, glad to hear getting hassled from locals can be light or extreme depending on the stupidity of the locals OR THE TRANSPLANT.

Pics of the new digs would be cool if you are a mind to share those sights and or local area.

FIFY

How was the slosh being half full?

Even a 500 gallon water buffalo that half full will let you know it's back there. But those tanks are more flat on the front and back. Yours being sideways maybe softened the blow?

Thought it was fine till I stopped at the first stop sign. After stopping and taking off again the trailer was yanking the truck around. Something I’d prefer not to do again. Those are 400’s and I put about 200 ea. Wouldn’t want to do again, didn’t want to do it then but oilfield emergency’s get us doing sketchy stuff.

Until you go to take a curve and the trailer just goes straight.

 

[YotaAtieToo]

Or the inside tires come off the ground

Marketplace obsession got me a good one. Picked up a crawler hauler yesterday. Trails West 3 horse slant converted to a 14’ flatbed. Loaded up and ran up to the scales today.
