Lots of batteries, are you trying to shift the front / rear weight distribution?-

I see a radiator back there which appears to go to that black box?

Makes me wonder what are you powering with all that juice, some refrigerator?

When does the bumper go back on?

Doesn't look like that trailer receiver could take a hit.

dave-

its ray's truck, im just the picture poster.

nothing fun being injected into the exhaust.

the "payload" is 2 batteries, one small fuel cell, and a transmission cooler.

bumpers are just extra weight, as well as tailgates. ray may find some to put on there, i dont really know.

the hitch is just there in case the truck dies to be towed off the track, and also makes for a good accessible tie down point.

the truck certainly makes a statement sitting, it will be great to see how it runs up the hill. i call shotgun on the first ride!

I can bet with some assurance that I won't be there - sorry.

I just closed on my house yesterday (Tuesday October 6th) and will be shuttling furnishing down to Stratford, from the shed in Norwich.

I'm looking for 12' clearance and shorter movers as that's the underpass limit into my neighborhood.

It's all dead-end branch streets after that underpass, so there's no going around it.

I'm also trying to figure out how to get a free 8x10 garden shed from Stamford up to the place in Stratford, I'm thinking a u-haul car trailer.

Just winch the shed onto the car trailer and go for it, I think a Jerdan would be too tall overall.
