borderline chitchat... but lets see your biggest, dumbest, scariest loads.

normal wheeling load...

how about... a truck... on a trailer..

....on a trailer..

MattS · 07-18-2005, 09:03 AM

17 sq of shingles. Short bed. 6 inches short of shutting the tailgate.

Lady pulled out in front of me I swerved. I picked up 900 pounds of shingles on a 90 degree day in my work clothes.

Ouch, where is the pic of the VW with a million sheets of plywood on it?

This one is not mine. My friend Paul got this trailer with 2 5K lb Torflex axles from E-bay for about $300, but it had impound paper work and was illegal (no lights, fenders or brakes) - so he couldn't tow it home... At least not on it's own wheels. This was just a couple days ago.

He claims it didn't move at all.

Or how about this one?

Some people just don't get it. They make TRUCKS for a reason

thats pretty badass though good marketing for dodge

bones99 · 07-19-2005, 08:22 AM

It is a chop. I belong to the TDR and the guy did it to see how many people thought it was real.

not mine

cruzer75 · 07-19-2005, 10:05 AM

Sad thing is you can do that with a sami and a full size truck!

stunnin650 · 07-19-2005, 11:00 AM

i will have to find some pics of mine two sammys on a 16 foot trailer one hanging off the back and one hanging over the front, i got it home and nothing moved at all

I peronally have seen a sammy with 32's on one side..215's on the other loaded into the bed of a f250 with 1ton springs..towing a CJ with one of the towbar mounts RIPPED from the bumper..

someone somewhere has pictures of it..

welndmn · 07-19-2005, 12:48 PM

Bridge was stupid narrow.

drnut · 07-19-2005, 01:25 PM

I remember some pics of a Duramax that was pulling 3 trucks on a triple axle that had hit a patch of black ice and wreaked. Maybe someone has the pics saved.

Yup, its a chop... not mine either. Apparently the guy backed up under it, snapped the pict, and photoshop'd out trailer legs it was sitting on. But its had a few people second guessing.

ChiXJeff · 07-19-2005, 01:59 PM

One load of sweet cherries I hauled grossed over 37,000 lbs., towed with a 99 Dodge 2wd 3500 dually.

Eagle-Mark · 07-19-2005, 05:56 PM

:d

B.C.boy · 07-19-2005, 08:43 PM

that dodge is an obvious chop. you'd think having half the weight of that dozer on its rear end would make it sag just a little?

I was thinking airbags for a second... big ones.

But then I realized the tires would have had to of had 1,000psi or something in them to not be flat.

squirriljeep · 07-19-2005, 10:03 PM

Center rig. Total weight 19,080lbs, '97 Dodge 2500 2wd auto, nonworking trailer brakes.

k5chevyblazer · 07-19-2005, 11:40 PM

I drove it about 45 miles and the bumpstops where totally squished.

THAT is the scary part. Not the weight of the trailer/truck combo.

Somewhere i have a few other load pictures 1 of the truck and a loaded 24' Gooseneck loaded with logging equiptment that had rolled over that i went up and flipped back onto its tires and then brought it out in 3-4' of snow on the drifted over logging road, what a pain that one was.

And a few pictures of white highways with me pulling my 24' GN+ my old 12' ballhitch loaded behind it. wiggle waggon on ice

m016324 · 07-20-2005, 05:46 PM

hard to see I know but that's a forlift trying to load a f-700 dumptruck from probably the 70s. Onto a gooseneck with a 7.3 ford non turbo to tow it. It was during the Chili Challenge. The truck weighed enough to pull the rear of the fork lift off the ground. It was pretty funny. There was also a guy with a come a long pulling the truck up the trailer. It was a site to behold.
