That's purdy funny Tayln, I pulled it thru a downpour and your looking at reflections of my purdy truck and puddles of water! That is pretty weird though, I didn't notice that. If I said I was finishing up a twelve pack at the end of a 400 miles drive, would you believe me?

Yea, That's when I was bending over throwing up with a can in each hand and had to drop them. LOL Funny though, I took that next picture a few seconds later (after I cleaned up the cans of course).

That does look sweet Glenn. Nice looking trailer and definitely taller than mine. How's it pull? What is it, 10' high? The 30 footer I traded was a foot taller (I ordered it that way) than the one I have now but not near that tall!

Anyway, you gotta love these trucks pulling these big trailers. That setup looks really sweet Glenn.

Mike, its a heavy trailer, even empty, but I'm not sure what it weighs. I weighted it once at 24K loaded to the gills, I was defiantly overweight. Darin, it pulls remarkably well, surprised me. Head winds of course are a bummer. You only missed it by six inches, from the ground at the center wheel to the top is 10 1/2 foot. I got it to help me move from NE to AZ, 1250 miles one way. Made two round trips with it. The key to loading it was to use the height as much as possible (we have to much SHI*). On the way home on one of those trips I was in eastern CO with a 50mph head wind and it pulled twice as hard even being empty. I have had two small cars in there, if I tore out the cabinets in the front it wouldn't be hard at all to put two medium sized cars in there. It sure has helped me out alot, its a 96 just like my PSD!!

It looks great for a 96. Mine is a 90, wish it was white, it would look a little better than the faded blue but can't always be fussy. I had to tear out the cabinets in front and move them to the sides to make room for the two fairlanes and a 4 wheeler. Still tight, but they fit.
