good thinkin, now beer cans can go in someone elses bed! my spare tire smashed so many beer bottels in my bed on that trip, it sucked.

Last time I went wheeling I had (2) 24 packs of pop and one got saved cause my spare was on top of it, but the other one broke open and 10 of that pack were ruined cause they all exploded...

What type of brake system is on that trailer? Judging by the wheels I would guess air brakes.

If so, how is a non-air brake vehicle controlling the brakes on that trailer. Cause I know there is no F-ing way that truck is gonna stop all that stuff!

Just curious.

Can't say I've ever seen electric brakes on a set of duals under a trailer before.

If so, damn they must be huge!

Still would like to see what they got under there and how the whole set up works.

do you seriously expect to drive a nearly full blown trail rig on the road daily without getting pulled over? ive been pulled over for my mud flaps "flapping" to much and too loudly going down the free way. they pull you over in hopes of finding somthing critically wrong with your truck where they can either ticket the

out of you or impound your truck. although your truck my be safe to drive on the road, there are plenty out there that look similar that are not safe.

btw, bumper pics??

You know what sucks?
Is when your headed home from Quincy from taking care of one ticket, and you get pulled over because

"your tires (33's) were throwing 15 ft. rooster tails of snow and ice (at 35mph with no one else on the road)"
"and im not sure those front fenders (bajas) are street legal. but they do cover the tires, derka derka dooo...

"
"oh and im gonna write this ticket as podunk little Greenvilles jurisdiction, even though your 75 miles away, and its really plumas county and quincy's jurisdiction, but this way you'll have to drive twice as far to go to court...

and so you get another ticket...

Other things were going on that i was furious about and that ticket on the offramp that i was getting off of just pissed me off. i drive all throught sacramento in my truck and i get a dumbass ticket in my home town on the freakin exit... that did not help the already ridiculous day that I had that day.

So thats why i was mad.

Bumper pics are uploading

So pretty much i went to sac and got a tube bumper made by hyena. I kinda helped but hardly. Oh i guess sillywilly helped too. Brad did most of the work. For not being pro at a tube bender, id say he did a damn good job. The bottom brace that goes out and bends up was his idea and i think it looks good.

to brad

Heres my new Brad Fab front bumper...

Look, the bro at work
