    Get outta town, no way!!! :D
    That's awesome.!

    Can I ask if that was you in a dark colored gray, maybe black wide hood.? Somewhere in northern GA I glimpsed one pulling a multi axle rgn, but didn't even see what was on the wagon..

    Fear not Macky, with the m11 & 9er I will still be seeking similar freight!! Lol :D I'll continue to stick it to em, all while enjoying my big ol flattop & paper book, when they are out of time & trying to catch a few Z's in their backseat.. :eek:

    Having a 5th axle will only open more doors of opportunity as I see it..

    Here is a 2000 Chaparral with 8' upper I ran into a way back. This was before Doonan bought Chaparral, (mine's a 2020 Doonan Specialized Chaparral II) so my transition looks slightly different, but it should workout similar to this..

    The more I look at new trucks, the more I think I might just keep mine. It seems like all of the newer engines suck. The acert cats, isx Cummins. All the new engines have emissions problems. I dunno what to do. Been eying out a new to me t800, but the engine options suck. Grrrrr

    3 cuttings is pretty good for dry land. I wouldnt complain at that. The irrigated guys here get 5 cuttings. Dry land here is a crap shoot. I just like to tease you about your hot dog obsession. After I load my home load out, I always stop at the corner store for chili cheese dogs.....good stuff.

    Good and bad in all of them.

    Freind kinda has one of the bigger dump truck setups around here in this area. Bought all of them new too.

    One truck came in and was sent off to get the bed installed, when it got back it got a good overall look see before signing off and giving it to him. After the look see the nose was pulled and engine pulled because of a noise and metal shavings in the oil pan….. brand spanking new truck! Others he’s had decent success with….

    I'm looking at a light 4 axle. I need horsepower though......or want it atleast. I'm in the mountains like 90% of the time and if I need to take other opportunities, ill be grossing around 100k. Which isn't really heavy, but the hp is nice to have.

    All of the isx I've seen have all been rebuilt by 600k! Wtf is up with that? I found a nice one down in Florida that is a 99 with a 6nz. However, it's double framed the whole way and I don't want or need that. Don't know what I'm gonna do. Need to find a nice new one with a blown motor and put mine in it....lol.
