j hancock Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Looks Good!I know tires have been improved but the scuff in corners with that trailer must kill them. Is there a line on the invoice for a "scuff surcharge"? 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a line on the invoice for a "scuff surcharge"?Jim The scuff factor plus! The roads are chip seal so you can imagine what the front tires look like on the trailer. We rotated them often.thats quite the lowbed. is that a hinge in the middle of the goose neck? jeep looks like it's mullty tired any pictures of it disconnectedBob the trailer does have a hinge affect to level the load and the Jeep(load divider) has 16 tires on it. Bob I've got pics some where of the load divider spread apart withall the wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know with those types of transporter's the wider you go the triangle of danger increases. Going around a corner the trailer would "dive" especially with the loaddivider in and not hooked directly to the tractor unit. Tim does not like the load divider any wider than necessary and the bridges tend to be pretty narrow. Not sure of the weight on thearse end bu I can ask T1. Here is what happened with the same type of load on Gebbies Pass. With the load divider you better crawl around those sharp corners.It even happens in a straight truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) From those shots I would say a load divider is not an easy thing you just switch on and go relaxing. A mind switch is required to be shift "on" either. As for the steering wheel I saw the same ones before in brand new Visions wich were for sale here in Russia. So looks like those aren't special Aussie Mack parts.
