    Thanks, it’s a little heavier than I hoped according to the build sheet so I can’t wait to weigh it.

    Can't make it. I got out of Waterloo at 7ish and am now in Floyd, IA at the Love's. Maybe if you're still there around 9-10 tomorrow morning, I'll be stopping by for some baked goodies to take back home.

    Ight... hear me out...

    When you put the beam on. Does it sit on top of the deck or does the deck come off?

    I mean... it seems obvious the latter would be the answer but at the same time... what about the trailer integrity? Wouldn’t that create a weak joint between the... front and the rear by the axles?

    I have the best office view in the world, and it's ALWAYS changing. It's 20 minute windows like this, seeing that Windows-desktop type visual or the window, that makes me fall in love with my job all over again.

    This was one of the best driving sunsets I've ever seen.

    No, it is what what they call a modular. The decks pin at the rear. So he can run it as a beam or a deck trailer.

    The deck comes out and the beam pins in, like superhauler said it’s a “modular” bogie. It doesn’t create a weak joint at all, if anything it’s stronger because it’s reinforced more. Here’s one of my older trailers getting switched around.

    The new one has a horizontal pin joint but other than that it’s the same principle.
