3Pooches version 3.5

Problem is that next weekend would be out for me. Full weekend and all.

I have a 10x10 canopy I can bring (I think) to add to the cover. I'm not sure how I'll fit it in the Jeep, but I could figure something out.

And I'll be running ATs as well. Thanks previous owner Jeep girl.

 

Same with me, I'm heading to TX for work next weekend, not to mention I will be lightening Dave's jeep for his ride home by finally getting those taco items.

Also not bringing the daughter out, perhaps next go round!

 

Then let’s do it!!

 

Yeah same for me, next weekend is the only one that works for me, so I’m still game. Only thing that’ll keep me from coming is if me or anyone in my family gets sick. My son is currently sick but is on recovery mode and should be fine by this weekend.

 

Now I'm thinking the skid might be a better weekend toy option!!!!

Hey @EatSleepTacos , so how much spare room do you have there on BW hauler...

 

I like where your head is at.

 

I'm going to give a day or two and see if this prediction holds. If it does, I probably won't make the journey as part of the reason was to get the pup used to the truck bouncing around and exposed to more people and dogs. This weather will be a total distraction for her.

Don't change it just for me.

 

alright so hear me out:

skid steer in the taco bed (cap has to come off for 3rd brake light anyway), taco on the trailer, ram pulling everything. 6 in a row, ready to tow baybee

7k lbs in the back of the taco ez, thats what aal is for

 

Better plan. Pull both betty and the skid steer onto the trailer horizontally and have you follow me with "oversized load" signs.

 

wow you were really thinking ahead with the extra wide trailer!!

If we somehow got a straight truck to hold them all, I could drive and we'd be legal lol

 

Damn it, now I'm wondering again what BW's tipping in these days sans RTT, rack, etc.; and what your current trailer GWR is, 10K?

And of course only logically start down this path of...I guess I need to save up for a 3500 and something like this

Total overkill, until you want to take two tacos, a mini skid and mini ex, or become a Hotshot Driver!

Just for shits and giggles, my machine (without any attachment) is a lean footprint, only 48"Wx90.5"Lx72.5H @3400#s (added 31#s for ~4gals of diesel typically in the tank since I'm still waiting on a warranty replacement of the fuel tank).

 

Dang, you actually could fit on the trailer sideways! It's 102" wide. Put betty on backwards and as far forward as possible and you sideways on the back. The trailer would be overloaded since it's only 7500 carrying capacity but only by about 1,000 lbs. Really not as insane as I thought.

Or you on the tongue and betty on behind it with the bed hanging off of the rear.. No good way to load it weight distribution wise but it could probably all physically fit on there.

 

Ok maybe not. Or it would be incredibly tight.

Or skidsteer on the front, bettys nose on the trailer and secured and the back axle on the ground. Boom, problem solved.

 

gvwr 67k
empty 45k

thats 22k to play with

 

I want to see you take it off sweet jumps.

 

Manufacturer spec approach angle 9* might make that hard lol

They do wheel hop in the rain without passengers on board, so its almost ready to drift

 

Hell, we could all fit on that and take a trip out to Moab

 

Like the mental geometry/tetris you already processed!

The Ram 1500 (2014 Hemi) is rated to 10,250#, so the load capacity only needs to be around 8500-9000, but then add a max of...~2,400# of implements, chains and binders, etc., for when Chris and Shannon want to me to double down and put it to work...I like the two rear drop jacks...but that goose neck, plus wedge ramps and dovetail deck...oh to just have tens of thousands of dollars sitting around for a toy hauling trailer! Heck I wish I had gone with 18ft. even with the 7 or 8k range.

 

What that 18ft?

 

Yeah 18x8.5 with two 5200 lb axles under it, both with brakes.
