Did some logging today. There's a little weight on the hitch . We had to take the trailer off of my Dad's dodge because the hitch was breaking.

That's some squat! Looks like you could have kept the logs more to the rear for a more even load. Must have been a busy day in the woods by the looks of the other loads in the background.

The trailer is a pintle hitch. I was thinking the same thing on the WD Hitch. We hauled four loads home from up north about 1:30 away. We left at 7 am and got back about 3pm. All in all not bad for days of work. As for stacking the logs to the back the trailer would have swayed a lot.

Good to see the ole girl back together after surgery and time in ICU. You did an incredible job on that truck and I'm sure it feels gratifying to drive her and put her back in service after all that work. Congrats and good luck with her.

Snow's gone already?

Great load! Air bags are awesome but they do allow us to overload things. You could get 10K pounds of lift out of two bags on your rear axle.

Been gone for a couple weeks now. But we got 6" last week that melted in a couple days.

Refering to my sig Rush? Sorry.... I have a life.... and a very important job and school schedule which precludes me from snapping pics every time the weather changes. Although I don't quite understand why it would matter all that much, I'll see if I can take a more appropriate picture just to keep certain people happy

I don't think that's what he meant, Scott.

Besides, your truck looks better in snow!

Thanks Tom. I love the snow. Thinking of moving to Colorado up in the mountains. Heck, I never really know who's talking to who sometimes. Especially after a bad Sat night. Had many many flights last night. I need some sleep.
