LakeBoy 111 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Heard somewhere (likely this forum) that Rick's (Star Guy) truck was specially modified for the weight up top. Agree that if the guy in GMD's post is doing a one-off, it is a recipe for doom and unmitigated failure. Wonder what they are using for a rack and why they cannot lower it the foot or so that appears between the trailer frame and the truck cab. Every little bit would help.

But how do you rollover when you are not allowed to drive faster than you can walk? (Assuming this is America.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
