    Hauled this building up to northern WI early this week. Unfortunately due to the weight being offset and the way the manufacturer built it in their facility I had to run with almost 4' off the left and 2' off the right. Made the last 8 miles down a 2 lane county highway with minimal shoulders fun.

    14'4" W x 16'4" H 95,000lbs

    Did you just mount it direct to the bumper bolts or do you have some kind of brackets behind it? Been wanting to do a hard sign for a while and I really like that one.

    I heard that the frost laws has been lifted. So there's a ladle with my name on that's been sitting for a couple of months waiting to go into Canada.

    Straight to the bumper using the stock bolts. I use a couple of hairpins to keep it closed. The white spots are where the sign rubs on it’s self. This ones two years old and looks almost new.

    big surprise with this one they said it was 31 feet long…I think they meant 41 lol
    Probably pushing 45k on the drives. Does my annual permit apply if I am not over 80k gross? I can run 48k on the drives that way. I guess if no one saw it it doesn’t matter right. B65CF001-1300-4308-AFF8-E3026E022367.jpeg
    just another hoe…I move this this thing several times per month. It’s nice to have some regular customers.
    I was kinda lazy today a good friends son wanted to see how things worked so I had some chain throwing help

    Could you use the side controls to swing the basket under more? If it fits I guess it works just fine.

    I don’t think so that seemed to be as far under as it would go but it would have helped with the size but probably not got the weight shifted enough
