    Or take the sleeper door in when you get paint and have them match to the tractor-

    Might as well put new loaded 25k axles (had inboard drums & Budd's, f-that noise) with long studs for all aluminum's & 4s/2m under it while your at it-

    This one has hub piloted and alums all around.
    Tractor is red and black, so a red lowboy just looks too "factory/stock"
    Maybe like a real bright blue with lots of flake? Lol I'll look like a ####ing flake Til I paint the tractor

    If my truck looked like that, I'd have to mount a hot woman on the hood to get a compliment too

    I'd have thought after the first snag the driver would either raise the neck or raise the tractor suspension enough to clear.

    Interesting video

    What a moron. That's a good way to destroy a trailer and get your company to buy the state a pave job.

    Wow! He tries it at least 3 times before getting out and raising the trailer. Would have been a heck of a lot less work to get out and raise it the first time.
