Lol crawler weighed in at 5200 before all the cage work and other mods. My 85 weighed in at 6200. F100 is only 4400.

Oops, should've read your sig! The pic looked like it was an extended cab until closer inspection. Just a crew like yours, and no A/C, lol.
Oddly enough, Bruiser (specs in sig) only weighs about 1K less than the Enterprise. But that's probably all the extra beefy steel parts/extra steel patching the frame.
AC in a 6 door is as cool as the amount of hole you put in the rear window lol
A 20' gooseneck for less than $2500? I'm having you find my next trailer!

I'm looking at a few now. Most are between that and 3K, but haggling is a thing.
3k is about the cheapest I've seen them around here, funny how prices can vary so much by region.

So many wrenches, so little time...
Awww come on man! Tripple climate control would take you to a hole new level! Lol

I rolled the scales last nite at 9400# with my fat butt behind the wheel
it's a service truck in disguise. if I had a utility body, I'd get commercial tickets in residential area.

Scan craigslist daily and be ready to jump on a deal as soon as you spot it, don't settle for cheap & undersized it can get very dangerous. That's how I found my 25ft gooseneck. Paid $2500 I'll never pull bumper for long distances again.

If you want to do a bumper pull, find a 12x60 mobile home "free to be moved" and make one
Just don't forget to change the brakes to replaceable units and ditch the one time use tires for DOT approved rubber.

Also, make sure to get a load-leveler hitch if you are doing bumper pull. Those things are /awesome/.
I've got one with the 'round bar' style and one heck of a chunk of metal for the hitch itself.
It helps reduce bouncing when unloaded, and swaying when loaded.
BTW, just weighed my '92 F-250 7.3 5-speed extended cab truck today - 6500 lbs empty, with me in the driver's seat(150-ish) and perhaps 100 lbs of gear.

I won't haul a truck on a bumper pull again. Pulled a ranger worry no need years ago in a flatbed and got the death wobble between the Bruiser and the trailer. Almost had to stop in the middle of the highway to keep from rolling over.
