    I hate all the camber that XL puts in there extendable steps. Makes them almost useless hauling the shacks I haul.


    I've got 3 trucks at the one on the NB side headed for PA. They're not quite as long just 98 from nose to tail.

    Yeah, unfortunately you have to get almost 60k on them to get them to lay down flat. Hauling things like this stack are a real PITA because I have to stack so much on each end to keep the middle from hitting. I've got 18" of cribbing on each end to keep the wind deflectors off the deck.

    Yea I have 2 of them and I have to load these shacks on a 4x4 on each end I find a manac or trail king is a much better trailer. I really like their extendatrac for the airlines tho it's much better than the hanging coils or having to break lines every hole.

    The extendatrac is the bomb, pull the safety pins, pull the air release and slide. It seems like every time I have one of the others I have light problems or drivers who try and slide them closed with the lines still attached which FUBAR's everything.

    Sorry, When parked the cb is off. We got out ok, but then got down into Sd. and my buddy had a fuel line break at the fitting so here we sit waiting for his fuel line to get here.
    I will not leave him, He's a good guy and a friend
