    I alway wondered why those where not wide enough to direct air around the tires? I guess due to heat build up?

    Has anybody priced the UT-1?

    I tried linking out to dealers and kept getting a dead link. I did find the suits filed against Vanguard and the countersuit Vanguard filed against Smart Truck. Is there anything that the government sticks their nose in that doesn't get all screwed up???

    Would be interested to see how it does. At first glance, I see some potential problems. First, the material seems to be thin ABS plastic. If so, it may become brittle and crack or break at the mounting points. Especially in the winter in the Midwest states at -20 degrees. Vibration is not kind to that type of material. Second, it will probably not survive a strike from road debris.

    Just my opinion, so you know how that goes :)

    Am curious about ground clearance, docks and all. Especially when the tandems are all the way back. I have a Layden Hybrid on one of my trailers, kind of as a test unit. I'm not too sure about it yet. Your unit looks good on the trailer too.
