    Often have the same situation on #8, too. Especially when the tires are in the back part of the modular.

    I realize you are talking about the pickup, but that is a big load for those days. That rig has a lot more room, especially in the belly than most rigs from that era. A good friend (old timer carhauler) tells me about how they use to load big units in the belly when they were 96’ wide. We have sure come along way since then.

    Broncos with either of the bigger tires aren't wide enough to straddle an Explorer's roofline. Luckily I was able to tip it enough to compensate and still make the tunnel! (13'11") IMG_20251204_032656220_HDR~2.jpg

    The only thing you need to change is to a 3.25” flat faced offset wheel, the tire is the same size. Yes it was worth doing in my opinion as I don’t have to rotate my steers midlife to get full wear and they typically go 20,000-30,000 more miles than they did before I got them. IMG_1312.png
