Hummm NO that is not an option for you! You are going WITH your truck BEHIND your Towrig, leave the money with your wife, whatever you have to do, yer going! :stir: opcorn:
Hey Burt, when are you going? Maybe after you get there, we could turn around and use that purty new trailer of yours to get Shaggy's rusty bucket of junk out there. I think I might even be able to drive your truck if necessary. rotfl
rotfl I arrive on Thursday in the morning sometime. Ya if you guys need my junk come get it....May be cheeper to just rent one at that point though??? Cuz you figure you gotta get it back home too :doah: That and I'm not sure if my trailer will work behind a Ford :stir: opcorn: hehheee
I just got the call, the trailer is leaving Saturday or Sunday so I'll have it Tuesday or Wednesday. waytogo Talk about last minute... Where can I go to buy some straps to tie my junk to the trailer?
If you want to use chain go to Harbor Freight either Fremont or Salinas. Get 2 20’ grade 70 trucker chains and 2 screw type binders. You can find 10k straps at Wal-Mart.
Let me know what you think when you get it, if you like it then I will order the same thing at that time, need by end of Sept so I should order soon but might as well wait a few days to see what you think.
OSH sells KEEPER brand ratchet straps fer 16 bucks a piece. The one in Modesto caries both stake pocket flat hooks and regular hooks. Keeper brand is made in the USA too waytogo From the rule book, a tie down at each corner is required and they don't care if it's chain or strap as long as the load rating matches your load....I'm sure you knew all this GREAT NEWS!!!! See ya ina week waytogo
Cool, thanks! Hey Burt, what time are you leaving? You heading down 165 into LB or swinging over to 5 on 132? Depending when you're going I might try to time it to catch you on the freeway so we can caravan in. waytogo
Got another call this morning, the guy I bought the trailer from drove out to his dump trailer builder to get the rest of the trailers on Friday that are on the load to CA so I would get my trailer on time. He said that they were all loaded up and the driver was leaving by 9am Texas time and I'll have my trailer sometime Tuesday. There was a bit of a mixup with the wheels so my spare is an 8 lug instead of a 6 lug and he's sending me another 6 lug via UPS. Anyone need a spare 8 lug trailer wheel?
Shag, I still hve those two big straps we've used before... I would go to that place in SJ and get your straps done up custom-like.
I ordered some Ericksons from Summit yesterday, they're supposed to be here on Thursday. I remember you had some custom made, but I don't think that I'll have time to get to SJ to get them made next week. Should have gotten them earlier...
jbear, are you local, in Central CA? I don't really want to ship the thing. The trailer is here! I'll start a new thread...
No, I'm in GA. I guess I need to fill out my profile. I understand the shipping thing. Thanks anyway.
