    The mainstream media would call you 'transphobic.'
    I would call you, "Winner."

    But please do elaborate because there's likely stuff I've missed.

    I'm no expert on coils. But as you already probably know, the racks should been all under the coil. And in my opinion the chains closer together. But I'm no expert on coils since its been quite a few yrs since I done that. Oh and not hooked to the stake pockets like that either.

    At the time I suppose the idea was to not put so much force in a small area on the rail to avoid busting it off the trailer. This is the same trailer that would bow out in the middle when I took curves and busted a weld on the rail trying to straighten a bend to get a hook through it.

    And the one i found 27 cracks on at where the deck support beams were welded to the actual trailer frame beams

    Alum. Isnt as forgiving as steel. I use to have tie-downs in an area just for big singles. Use to haul 52000 lb. Coils to Texas from south Carolina for two yrs. Worst two yrs of trucking for me. LOL finally got smart and moved on to better things !

    Say a fella is going down Snoqualmie and realizing he's in the wrong gear, attempts to down shift, but misses the shift, ends up dumping the clutch and putting it in 7L at 85mph, and dropping the whole gear box and throwing a rod through the block.

    Wouldn't that be like giving the truck a chopadickoffame?

    This one had 3 d rings per side but they were in an odd spot to use for a coil. Not exactly cented and not quite far enough back to use all 3 when the coil was centered and spaced about 2 feet apart You can see i used 2 of them.
