Agreed. Judging by your name you have a ZX3? Is it just a commuter or is it something you play with?

OZ = a representation of my last name
X = multiply
3 = the number of people in my family with my last name
+1 = because my step son does not have the same last name...

So, OZX3+1 = my (current) family configuration... (it use to be OZX2)

Happy Thanksgiving!

My truck is my commuter... I have a 1989 Geo Tracker for playin'

Back in the day of OZX2 my son (then only 5 years old, now 18) thought it up. Out of the mouths of babes...

I should have left well enough alone. Tried to be "funny" and now look what happens. For some strange reason I'm thinking of a certain Devo song after all of this. Those that are old enough, might know what I'm talking about.

That's another good one. Just take out "some" from the title of the thread and there you go. Billy Squiers has a song that is along these lines as well(I get some strange looks when I have that one blasting out of the speakers).

Damn bubba we are getting old.

On a side note... I had to haul some "*****" on a covert op about a month ago. (A landscaping company I work with was trying to buy some trees from one of the managers ex-wife, and she refused to sell them to his company so they sent me =D) I get there and see the 70 trees. I don't do landscaping so I look at them and figure eh 200 pounds tops on each one... thats only 14k pounds no biggie. Well I left my truck and trailer there (35' Load-Pro gooseneck) I come back about an hour later and they had put about 50 of the trees on my trailer and it was completely full. The overload springs were literally sitting flush with the rest of the springs.

Well not much I can do about it now so I figured I'd just get my 20 mile trip over with as quickly as possible. Well I start off very slowly and immediatly get on to the highway. Truck handled the highway fine but I go to stop at my exit and I usually run the trailer brakes at 2.5 on that trailer. She didn't even try to stop. I quickly crank it up to 10 and she starts to slow a little. I still have about 3 miles to go and its stop light traffic now. I thought every time I had to stop was the time my driveshaft/differential was going shatter into a million pieces.

She made it back in to the landscaping yard without a problem well I went to unhook the trailer and the legs won't take the weight. I had to use two tractors to hold the trailer up so they wouldn't buckle and I could get unhooked. Mind you this trailer is made to hold 30k pounds. I don't even want to know how much weight was on that thing.

You'd be surprised how much those little babies weigh. They weigh alot more then they look that's for sure. However, it also depends on what type of trees they are as well. I've hauled alot of 16' white pine trees and they weight about 160 lbs and they are still dug by hand, these were machine dug with ***** that had a 40" diameter and were 30" deep.
