    Man, that length really messes with the perspective. I'm looking at that, and in my head I'm saying, "No way that's 16' wide." Pretty darned cool, though. Thanks for sharing.

    There's a motor hub that sticks out the right side of the load...

    Loads can be so deceiving...that doesn't look big, or heavy at all.
    I believe you, but it looks like nothing.
    May I ask if you get a good weight balance with your jeep?
    See you run a tri drive, pulling a tandem jeep. I hate pulling a jeep that doesn't have the same amount of axles as there is drivers, seems it can be hard to get a good weight balance often. Usually when I pull a tandem jeep, I use one of my few tandem trucks that I still have.

    I am about 196k - and since I just scaled with my flat deck back in - 79760 with about a half tanks.

    Don’t get me started on that piece of crap. Made out of pine. Spent since Friday go back and forth with everyone involved to get the manufacturers engineers to certify both the cradles and the 12 tie down points that had to be fabricated to haul the #### thing. Oh and $1800 worth of shackles.

    If you can pick it up at the shipyard be my guest.
