The Hound at it again

[TLBREWER]

Littledoggie, You can take a look at it anytime, just let me know!

Yup, It is a biggie, I measured a CC Dually to see if it would fit on the trailer, and then got there and realized that it was longer than a CC Dually, fortunatly it still fit!

I just realized that I posted this in the wrong post. This is the Colorado truck post, I will have to repost in the Iowa truck post,.

UPDATE On the CC Dually 4x4 intercooled turboed gearvendered Colorado truck:
Lori and I are flying into Denver on Tuesday November 28 to pick it up and drive it back. We are taking a cople of days and making a mini vacation out of it. Should be back sometime on Thursday. I will be taking and posting the prevoously requested pics!

Later,.

If your mini vacation was to take you about 6 hours south to Albuquerque, I'd treat you to lunch! We could probably even talk Ryan into joining us.

Thanks for thie invite guys. but Lori needs to be back on Thursday, Unless I pulled the "I knew I should have taken a Left turn at Albuqurque" trick,..Prolly wont work though. She is pretty sharp.

what you got there is a rolling violation looking for a DOT cop
I'd hazard a guess to say the tare on the F450 is 11k.
those nylon ratchet straps are definitely past their limits.
at least you have 8lug axles on the trailer.
Was it a "white knuckle" ride home?
Just for the curious, a F450 stripped cab chassis with a 60"CA is 7k on the ground. What you are looking at there is at least 108"CA.
Darrin-
if you can keep her, I'd do so if I were you. There's not too many fiver's that can push past the limits on that mini-brute.

I really don't think that I was in any violation, The truck and trailer both handled it with no problem, it was very well balanced and easy to drive. I pumped up the air bags a little to level out the truck. The straps are a very heavy duty strap, nothing like what I use on my Tow dolly. I see them being used at the auctiions on 3 car huallers all of the time. There is also a 10K ***** on the front of the trailer that I had hooked up to the truck. It was a very solid comfortable load.

I do plan on selling the truck, It would be a good one to keep, but i just don't need it, plus that is how I put food on the table

Looks to me like the tow-er and the tow-ee should have been swapped. ;p That will be a way cool truck for somebody.
