I should have bought my bosses 35ft triple axle gooseneck enclosed race trailer for 5k. I could of put 3 of em in there and still had room to throw a party. The trailer has a front fuel tank,2 side doors and a counter balanced rear drop down,there is even a big generator,full lighting,2 work benches, a full lenghth roll up awning, room up front for a queen size bed,and space for a Kegerator. I just didn't want to spend 40k on a new trk to haul it. Z

Nice, what did it take to get it to be able to put 33's on it. i have a set of 32/10.50/15 Swampers going on it as soon as i figure out what direction i want to go. Don't know if i want to do YJ's or stick with stock syle lifted. Gets a clutch this week,and then a tune up so should be on the road as soon as i get it through DEQ. Z

Well it looks like i am getting a set of Sidekick pumkins with 5.12 gears sent from Arkansas in the next week or so,$100 for each one. I hear it's not too hard to install them. Found a set of good stock springs with shackels and and a complete set of driveshafte,fr/rear/and intermediate all for $60.00. Should have the clutch installed in the next day or so. It's coming together. Z

Right on, looks good. I see alot of rigs have those poly bucket seats, those things play hell on you back. Go for some of these. http://www.
