I don't know how they build trailers as cheap as they do. Awhile back I thought I'd build my own trailer to save some bucks and get what I want. After I priced the axles, hitch, wheels and tires I was already at the price you can buy a trailer for. I haven't even bought the steel yet or figured...

You can get a fairly high capacity singled out axle. My Dad's horse trailer has 9,000 lb singled out axles. He is running 17.5 load range H tires on it though. They are rated for 4,800 lbs each. You can find 8 lug 17.5 wheels if you want to upgrade to a heavier tire. The 17.5 tires are the same...

I told Adam I thought the bed weighed around 10K. This is based on the fact that I picked it up (barely, as Adam and Brandon can attest) with a lift rated for 14,000lb at 24" out. The bed center of gravity would be about 48" out on the forks so I wouldn't think it would lift much more than 10K...

If there is a bright side to all this, it just goes to show you what can happen when you are away from home on a recovery. I personally loaded the tow rig. It was top notch and the trailer couldn't have been over a few months old and the load was within the capacity of the outfit. People that...

Glad to hear you've got a plan. All my attempts to find some help in Knoxville failed. One wrecker should be able to lift the bed if needed. When you say "I have to get the hitch from Brandon" are you saying he removed the hitch from the trailer before y'all left it? That would surely help...

Adam, I may have some "friend of a friend" contacts ( I though of after I talked to you) in that area but it's too late tonight to do much. I'll call you tomorrow and see if we can at least get it off the road if you haven't worked something out.

Here's the guy- Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite - View Profile: SmzZip865 Anybody know how to get in touch with him?

They are hauling a M936 wrecker bed on a gooseneck trailer. Who's the guy running the zip lines in Pigeon Forge? He's the closest I can think of off the top of my head.

I know there are some members in the Knoxville area but can't recall who. Guys, they're in a bad shape having to leave the trailer on the side of the road.

Adam, I wish you had called. I have some contacts in Cookeville. Anyway, looks like you're back on your way. I'm beginning to think we may should have left the bed where we had it the first time to take some weight off those tires. Oh well, I hope y'all make it home without any more problems.
