Well, on a pickup they proved it's actually worse with the tailgate down... Or on that particular pickup anyway... I thought it might make a difference on the trailer, since it was tail high up in the wind. Still pushing the front, so I doubt it made any difference at all.
And up until...
It worked!
The deed is done and my two M1101 trailers are sitting at the shop waiting to be un-stacked. :smile: I arrived at Ft Bliss at 9:30AM Monday. GL guy didn't return any of my calls Monday morning, so after 1.5 hours of driving around looking for the lot and waiting for him to call...
