Wondering if i wanted to drop the wheel wells could i flip these axles??? if you did that, the deck would be over a foot higher than it is now. if you are fien with a tall trailer, go for it. I'd keep it low, and make ramps over the wheelwells. Yes I thought of that route too Dan.. I'd prefer the low deck too... just was curious of options. It's is 4ft from the tail end to the wheel well... plenty for a shallow ramp a car could get up Jeep could get on it as is lol Tractor is only 61" so it fits between the wells... that's all I plan on hauling in the short term lol... Jeep, Tractor and a jetta part car for scrap

Well so far I think the cause of the cold white smoke is a sticky injector. Changed the 10W30 oil for some 0W40 synthetic and that made a huge difference. Still occasionally gets white when cold but much less now. Also going to try some Rev-X oil treatment as many have had good luck with that and the 6.0L injectors. Eventually I'll have to swap in new ones but I'll keep driving until then. It's been busy hauling stuff last couple weeks. Load of pallets and tractor Two horses And I sized up a water cube it in last night!

Be nice to get a full 8ft with doors shut instead of 7' 10 inches omg that trailer......lol it looks like a camper caught fire and that's what's left. Hauls some pile of stuff tho! Yes it's some ugly lol. It'll get cleaned up over time though. Still plan to remove the framing for now.
