No need for congrats yet... lol... that is litterally what the truck looks like right now, I still have a long way to go before next week... only 10 days left... and we still don't know how we're going to strap two of them down to the trailer... lol  

Tralier?  you are not driving the Danger Ranger up?

BTW did you get my VM?  

Jason,

What part of strapping them on the trailer is the issue?

Just curious...  I assume they fit on it...  

i think its just the tie downs that need to be added,  if there using jons massive trailer.  can you actually tow that much weigh from the hitch.   like is the ball rated for that much?  i thought there was a 10k limit or something  

Wow, what a difference in the ride with new tires....my last tires must have been square. I still have not put the Equal in yet....I still have a list also...
Much to do before Pismo.....here are pics with the rear fender on and one with it off...



I had to remove the steps to fit the tires...need to redo them and relocate the battery box.  

dang man those tires are huge.  Im suprised they dont rub the fenders.  did you notice any changes in your RPM to MPH yet??

those are 46s right?

We're going to use Jon's 30ft flatbed to tow up the two Rangers and this is the first time we've done it (haven't had two running vehicles to try yet since he got the trailer).

The issue lies in strapping them both down. We've installed a track system down the middle and d-rings at the ends but haven't tried it with truck in position. The fear now is that the straps that we have are actually going to be too long with the trucks close to the front and rear of the trailer. I should have mine rolling around by this weekend though, we'll get it figured out.

Nope, not driving it. I like the security of having a trailer.

I did get your VM... but, to be completely honest, I forgot to call you back. I don't do well with calls during work since I wont answer my phone. So alot of the time even with a voicemail I'll forget to call it back. Next time text me, or even better email me here at work, emails I'll respond to right away. Sorry about that.

Anyway, to answer the question, I'm not sure. I hope to be out of the office by 3 on Thursday and on the road by 4 at the latest. But really it all depends on how much we get loaded up the nights before.  

Yea man trailers make it nice.  I know the strapping setup we use is real easy and Shayna and I can roll them on strap them down and be on the road in 15 minutes...

Unloading is even quicker...

We use the tire tie down straps and the straps hook on the side rails on the trailer and the straps are ratchet type.

I ran the mog on the freeway today and it ran at 57-59 mph 2650 rpm, max is around 3000. It was surprisingly smooth (but unbalanced), I then got off the freeway and put the equal in the tires and will check the ride later this week for any change.

Kevin the tires are 46 inches  

Doc, don't get any flats on that thing.  You will need a BIG compressor to air up  

I think I might just make it...

 

Jason, it is looking awesome......  

Nice! I knew you'd make it, really.

I got mine running pretty good over the weekend and everything buttoned up. I just need to adjust the timing and do some wiring TLC, but it's good enough to drag up there.

Going to put the paddle on the bike now.

Oh, and Doc- big enough tires!!!  

Good to hear the beast is running! This should be a great trip!
