Can guarantee the trailer axles are overweight, the truck isnt overweight/exceeding GCVWR but i'd bet that the tongue weight is a little on the heavy side!

any ol closed cell foam should do the trick, though i dont think you will find anything that is going to like gas! so make sure their is no chance of laks during filling or the vent. Whats the capacity of that new tank? Looks a tad small, though i suppose if you go for short rides its not too...

Yes, i would also say that it was added at a later date, if it was something the military had fitted, it would surely NOT be painted that color! Looks like either the Box is mangled up badly, or its got some extensive structural damage...

yea, but thaey must have had some kind of insurace? Surely no insurance company on earth would let these guys slip by without a vehicle inspection/report regardless of where/how they were used?

x10 They are really lucky one of those rotors didnt blow up and send shrapnel through the box. they could have easily killed a bunch of people like that. For the regular joe blow, it would be merely a "crap your pants" situation and likely the worst thing to happen would be cleaning out...

yes pinion/driveline brakes are pretty effective, but they have their limitations, especially when your running a single brake on a 13,000lb truck full of tourists! But in reality, theirs nothing safe at all about running a single pinion brake on a 13,000lb truck, especially if it see's any...

whats the price on those suckers!? (whos axles?) Either way, even if you got them for a smokin retarded deal, hes looking at 24 axles just to do the rears in his trucks, thats probably not even close to being an option!

Holy crap! X10 on that setup being a death trap, thats just plain ol retarded to have a single pinion brake on a bush buggy, let alone someting that carries a pile of people! The braking power must be pretty weak (or it is super hard on brake pads), but unlike mentioned above, the loss of an...

Gotta get this ice fishing out of the way now, another month or 2 and itll be time to start breaking up the ice with buddy's boat LOL

Yea, their was a little bit of fishing going on... haha Between the texas mickey that doesnt last more than a day and a half, and a bit of cooking, we did manage to get a few little trout to cook up in our contraptions we end up cooking! Dont mind the stove in the background, it was a...

Actually, their was ~60" of ice (appx 5ft) in both locations that we were fishing at. Which actually puts us at a safe load rating of ~150,000lbs, but even 30" of ice would be "ok" though i wouldnt consider it ideal even with a load rating of 45,000lbs, i like to have a little more meat under...

x2 A half hour pre-trip can save your life, not to mention many others! One little mishap like that could have very easily killed 20 people, and its just as easy for that number to be similar for any one of us that drives on the road/in town, 5 tons of runaway steel can do alot of damage...

Holy Poop! That would be one **** of a tumble to take, and no doubt thats likely the reason they closed, that kind of accident would surely take a chunk out of their buisiness

Are they all identical trucks? (soft tops/winches/ect)

holy crap, talk about diving in head first! LOL Congrats for the new collection!
