I threw a 5th wheel hitch in my truck for moving around a camper I bought. Friend needed me to come move this thing around his yard. Not built for shortbox trucks at all. Very little turning angle, where I could probably get 80 degrees with the camper.

5.3 4l80e, helper bags.

Yeah its a 03 drive by wire 5.3 from a rolled truck. 4l80e is a rebuild that originally was behind some 6.0. Hydroboost from an 05 GMT800 1500 suv. ABS delete with a proportioning valve from an older GMT400. Power windows and mirrors from a 98 Silverado.

Hooked up to the company trailer for a trip to Boulder in the morning.

I am towing a Boulder fleet vehicle up to the Greeley shop tomorrow for a fuel pump R&R. I have to drop the gas tank to change it so I need my lift (Boulder doesn't have one). Freakin' Suzuki's.

A buddy had this 85' F150 that he wanted to take to the junkyard. After hunting for two hours to find a trailer, and another hour to load the thing (using some 2x10s, which did work!) and finally dropped it off. He made $100 for it, $40 went to me, into my gas tank it went!

Seems I'm always hauling something lately. I didn't even take pics of the F150 and half ton Chev I hauled one night a few weeks ago.

I took a pic of this one. Bought a 97 C3500 454 service truck. Loaded it forwards on the trailer. I think the bags took about 30-40psi to get it level again. Fairly tongue heavy load. Don't have many options with that 16' deck. Searching for longer trailer with 7k axles to replace the 16' with 5200lb axles.

Cut down a bunch of trees at my place to build a road to my pasture. Neighbor has a wood fired boiler to heat his riding arena. Enter his 32ft tridem single..
After these pics were taken, we threw 40 root balls on trailer. The helpers bags are at 55psi and its sagging pretty well after the stumps were put on top.
