    Why yes I do. Lol. I told Blair on the phone the other day that I needed to come rent your trailer when you weren't using it and he told me to stay out of his lane. Lol

    It’s about time you left the house and messed up traffic for a spell.

    Only blocked I 57 for a few minutes, and a few 2 lanes while missing wires. Get to do it 12 more times.

    This is how you get a light load that’s 14’3” tall under 15’ 3” loaded height F1279DC1-461A-4DDD-B8BC-9E2368BE56BD.jpeg

    Can you fit a piece of dental floss under that trailer?

    Received the final drawings today on my new trailer, deck will be 2” thinner than the one I have now, will be able to shim back to get height down with a light load and some tool boxes like these.
    10 inch deck height with 4” ground clearance, Been working with engineers to get minimal crown in deck,

    Will you have some way to lift it up a bit for speed bumps/rough terrain?

    Had a Spitfire that I lowered a bit down to a tad under 4" at the expansion chamber in the exhaust. Was dragging on most everything around town till I got rid of the 50 series tires to brig it up half an inch
