    Good 'ol Oxnard, spent a lot of time there growing up. Wave to my Aunt & cousins when you go through if you would, one finger to the 'cuz is OK.

    Good to see a load on that beast.

    My 70ton rated 20' main deck weighs 5400lbs more than my 20' main 70ton rail. That's a typical "drop side" or "cantilever" weight difference, but my deck was built strong with 12" cross members instead of 16". Cantilevers require more structure when properly engineers and built than a typical flush deck.
    I'm 68,000lbs empty with 37' of rail, and I'm 76,000lbs empty with 35' of full deck.

    Such a lite weight setup

    26' flat deck and I am 79k

    What pin weight do you get on the jeep when you load it to 40k?

    I thought the same thing about @nate980 from reading his posts.

    On a different note, gentlemen, I'm sure TTR's crack team of flatbed specialists will be interested to know that somebody dropped one...
