Here are a few picts of our Chevy 3500 HD 4x4 (496ci, allison) hooked up to a 32 ft. flatbed hauling our D90 and project 4runner.
I just had an aux. 50 gal. gas tank installed so the range is actually more than the D90 now!! Woohoo!! It only cost me $95 to fill it up today.
Anyway we are heading out to Big Bend Ranch in west texas for a little camping trip.

You can't see any tiedown straps on chains because I had not put them on yet.

It gets about 6-7 mpg going down the Interstate about 75 mph. I need to put a few more miles on it to see how the loaded rig hauls. We shall see.

How are you going to wheel the 4runner without engine or tranny?

Bill,
I need you to get up to Portland at the end of June. I have 4 trucks I need shipped to SLC and your truck could certainly help out!
lemme know what you think. I'm jealous of your trailer! (Like you are of mine I guess). ;)
Nice 'Rover Geek' reference too! I finally saw the story and was surprized that no none has been giving me shit for having my ugly mug in that issue, so I didn't bother to open it up! Just looked at it on the newsstand and smiled and said "hey, that's KC!". A friend had to buy the magazine and show it to me at the shop. I thought that was pretty funny.
Anyway, have a fun campout!

Bill,
It's good to see that you have a Toyota along to keep you out of trouble.

Bill,
Better get that Toyota going to keep you out of trouble:rasta:. By the way, what did you replace your Detroit with?
