    Truck Length Question

    Thanks for the clarification J. Now I understand what you guys are talking about. I actually thought about this tread on the way home in mine yesterday evening. I met a really nice Sportchassis towing a fiver and I started thinking about this. :) What the hell is wrong with me?

    Truck Length Question

    The deck over is 8'6" wide. The Rhino in the picture is 10' long on the nose. It does stick out but when you are 80' long and 13'5" tall....the last thing anybody is looking at is a side by side hanging over an extra 9" on both sides......at least in my experience. I mean......we are not...

    Truck Length Question

    I tow side by sides (Rhinos and Razors) on my deck over and they are right at 120" with no problems. You do have to pay attention on tight winding 2 lanes and some signs in construction zones. I typically don't have problems with guardrails as they are up above them. No problem with law...

    2007 Optima/Freightline Columbia/450 Mercedes

    I am blown away with the mileage you guys are getting. I stay in the hills and mountains in mine 95% of the time and I get 6 to 7 mpg in mine. When I gross 60k#'s or more I get down in the low 5's. I have my toe in the firewall most of the time and I run 75mph+ when conditions allow. I have...

    That's good to hear about St. Rosa. We have eaten at Sunset many times. It does have a beautiful sunset over the bay for sure. I am going to drive over and look at St. Rosa in the toad while we are in Orange Beach over xmas and check it out. As.far as Perdido goes, that's why I made the...

    Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?

    Individual with a laptop. I will expand on it more when I actually get it done and see if it works correctly with the Meritor. +1 on the Freightliner shop. Mine is never going back. They tore up all kinds of stuff in mine....charged me $5k and never fixed the problem when I was having...

    Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?

    I just booked the week of Christmas at this place. Buena Vista Coastal RV Resort - Coastal living at its finest. I got us one with a Tiki hut, grill and fireplace. And they allow golf carts. It is right across the street from the gulf.

    Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?

    The only way anything comes out of mine is either through the exhaust or the sewer pipe. :) The next one I get will have a 600hp in it. A tuner was supposed to be here this past Saturday to give me another 100hp but they were a no show. I am satisfied with mine up to 50,000#'s, beyond...

    Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?

    Don, I am right at 30k on the rear with completely full load. I'm at 42 to 44k#'s total depending on load. Is yours a single axle? The GVW on mine is 56k#'s for the truck. My combined GCVW is around 61k with the boat behind it. I'm not taking anything out. I just keep putting chit in it. :)

    I just called St Rosa to book the week before Christmas and they told me that they don't allow golf carts for insurance reasons. Wtf?

    Roger that. It is convenient for sure. They have reserved the front row in the past for us when we would reserve a couple of months out. They may have changed policy with the economy heating back up.

    If the front row is full, I would probably stay at St Rosa. That place looks nice! That one just went into the must go to list. We may hit that one xmas. Anchor Down is a must. You won't regret it. The pool at anchor down if you are there when it is warm is off the hook!

    Cool! Be sure to get on the front row so you can see the big boat traffic coming in off the Gulf. If I didn't have a commitment Monday, we would go down there for thanksgiving. Another good place that we have been going is Destin, Florida's CAMP GULF RV Park & Campground. It's not too...

    Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?

    I was going to do the 12.25 wide dura brite wheels. I will have to look up the tire size again that I figured out. I am at 14k#'s on the front axle. I think I am good on the front spring pack. Any feedback on the durabrite wheels? No problem on the date codes. Somebody just needs to tell me...

    Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?

    I just went out in the shop and took pics and they are 295 8 22.5 Michelin XZA2 Energy. Lug nuts, lug covers and center caps are not included. They are showing 15/32's on them. I am in Mt Juliet Tn 10 mils east of Nashville.

    Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?

    I have a gorgeous set of Accuride polished aluminum front wheels with Michelin 295/75/22.5 XZE Energy's on them. I think I am going to put floats on the front. They have 20k miles on them and I think the tires were bought in 2011. Does $700 + shipping sound fair for the wheels and tires mounted?

    Overall length laws: 45 feet, 52 feet and 56 feet? What’s the truth?

    First picture 80'+. Second picture 92'. I pull all over the southeast no problem. I just keep smiling and waiving as I pass LEO or scales. :) The other trailers and toys I tow put my overall in 70' to 90' range. Use common sense and set the cruise on 75 mph and lay back and watch HBO on...

    Insurance

    I just renewed mine through State Farm for another year and I paid $1,872.00. I had posted that I paid $1,500.00 for the previous year. I went back and looked at the bill and it was $1,692.00. I am not sure why it went up. I have had no tickets or accidents. I still think that it is very...
