bought another tow truck but its just a dragger , but its a w300 . and man what a frame it's double channeled from front to rear . with dana 70's at both ends .
"for use as a storage unit after the move."We bought the box
Actually kinda already done that. My garage was a disaster, so I emptied it into the box, so I could organize (and catalog) everything on the way back in."for use as a storage unit after the move."
It's always an option!
And RVs sit a mile up in the air!!!I have a question here, there's a lot of old travel trailers out there that people would pay you to take away. Are their frames strong enough to turn into a car trailer?
Yeah, I was wondering about that part too! I had a 30' one that weighed in at a little under 8000 lbs. without water and supplies so I know it could handle the weight. I think they gotta be from the mid '90s or older. After that they went to the light weight style for the most part, I believe.And RVs sit a mile up in the air!!!
PJ's are nice trailers, my buddy has one, over-built in every aspect.20ft PJ 3500lb axles best trailers ive ever owned and only brand I'll buy definitely buy 20ft especially with a half ton you can position the weight so much better so the trailer takes more weight than the truck and it pulls much better

I don't think anybody has ever asked me to borrow my trailer. If I know a person well enough to loan them my trailer, I know them well enough to do the errand myself as a favor.I regularly haul my wife's 06 Saturn Vue to or from the beach when we go to or come home from there at the same time. If she is already there and I go for a weekend when she's coming home, I take the trailer and haul her car home. The diesel doesn't know the difference, and it costs less to do it that way instead of feeding both vehicles. The Saturn weighs 3900 lbs. and the trailer handles it easily. The biggest thing I've hauled on my trailer is a long bed 88 Dodge pickup. It probably weighs over 4000 lbs. and the trailer pulled and stopped fine. I've hauled my Challenger conv to The Nats 3 or 4 times and to The Turkey Run once. Hauled @Big Dad Valiant wagon to BFE Oklahoma to meet him when he lived in TX.
The only times I've had any trouble out of my trailer was when I let somebody borrow it. It came back with bent fenders once, and the front axle looked like a horse shoe the next and last time. That ended me letting anyone borrow it.
That’s exactly why I don’t want to use my parents “shed”Enclosed Trailer, 10K with 5200Lb axles and a appropriate Truck. 2500/3500. Cummins Diesel highly suggested!
I really get peeved with the folks that think their under braked, under powered 1500 trucks will get it done Fine! Sure they will get it there however!
They usually are blocking and slowing the roads! JMO!

Like i said before my 2016 chevy 1500 pulls better than my 2009 chevy 2500 ever did and i pull at 85mph no issue at all and no end to the power up hill. I have air bags and tuner had it in both trucks but my 12v cummins dually with a stick pulls better than anything i could haveEnclosed Trailer, 10K with 5200Lb axles and a appropriate Truck. 2500/3500.

I loaned it to a friend I have know since high school both times. Turns out, he got it and let his kid use it for hauling his junk instead of my friend. Evidently, the kid can’t drive for sheite! Now I do it as a favor if someone asks.I don't think anybody has ever asked me to borrow my trailer.

If I don't know you well enough to do it myself, you ain't getting my trailer!
I'm sure nobody has asked me cause mine is strictly a car carrier. Open bed, real hard to carry anything but a car.....can't even tie down a motorcycle without some mods (I tried!).I loaned it to a friend I have know since high school both times.
