Yeah it holds 11 cars and it quite nice. He actually just snagged it up and has some plans for moving the axle and puttin an air ride in also a dovetail to make it a lil easier to put the Mog and XJ on it

No one yet! Tranny is still holding fairly well right now. I have not tapped the fuel wire yet either to help keep the tranny going for a while.

From what I have read, Level 1 has no added fueling and it adds 40hp and 150 ft/lbs torque according to edge. When I get the YJ done and back on the road, I will probably tap it and hope for the best. If I blow the tranny then I will at least have something to drive until it gets a Heavy Duty replacement.

I was hoping that you would post up the pics. Turned out great looks like it was made like that from the factory. When you turn does the rear poke out in the adjacent lane?

Thanks Scott. My buddy Lance welds like an artist.


The truck turns like a school bus with the back swinging out a little, but that air ride rear axle is really smooth. And, its quiet enough to talk on the cell phone going down the road.

I'm gonna load something up on it next Sat and head out unless its really messay and we will see how it does. Its set up to handle two rigs as long as one of them is a SWB. Of course that truggy would take up too much space to get a second rig on. :D
