Is there a dead-man I can secure a winch to so I can get that safe into the trailer?

I can't even think about hitting the road till mid afternoon on Saturday.

The bed is about 18"-24" off the ground.
Yes there are 4 d-rings in the bed to tie down equipment, 2 in front and 2 in back.
I also have 2 HD ramps for it.( good for 2-3,000 each )
You can use it till Monday if you want.
It has a pintel hitch but I have the 2" adjustable reciver for it.

Are those ramps solid surface?

The wheels on this safe are about 4" diameter solid steel.

What do you think?

I just went out and measured the 4x4 sleepers underneath the 8x10 shed.

They are 70" apart and run the 10 length, that suggests to me that the sleepers would slide between the sidewalls of your trailer.

Now then how to strap it down.

There are 18-wheeler ratchet straps here.

andy- the bypass filters work, but to what extent?

the only reason i question them is because i NEVER see them on any fleet or personal trucks at work. i cant say they are "worth it" based on that observation. some of the fleets are VERY serious about extending oil changes, and if installing a filter would make a difference in the oil samples they take im sure all of the trucks would be ordered from the factory with a filter.

installing one absolutely would not hurt anything, and i would test the oil at your oil changes and see how far you can push it.
