trailering question

NKYJEEPSTER · 06-22-2012, 08:48 PM

I need to trailer a rig back to cincy area. This rig is about 90" wide outside to outside of the tires and inside to inside is about 62". I don t have a trailer that wide or one that I can drive over the wheel wells. what the best way to get it back here, oh yeah, pulling it with a ram 1500 no 5th wheel or g/n.

Roll back

Damn that's wide...

If you can get a trailer close to wide enough, you can build up between the fenders with 4x4 lumber to give you something solid to drive over...

how much would it change if you put some skinny stock tires on it ?

i second the roll back or a bumper pull deck over trailer... theres a guy on CL that advertises that he rents all different sized trailers....

I have no extra tires for it, I am trading a rig for a rig. This one is sitting on rockwells and 42's.

I thought about building something like that, not sure how safe it would be to run down the road with 6 inches of tire hanging over each side of the trailer.

I may try to call that guy and see what he s got.

90-62=28, so 14" wide tires?

6" hanging off means 8" still on. You'd haul a Honda on 8" wide tires, right?

Long as it's strapped down well, it ain't going anywhere...

But, if you can barely get this monster home, what the hell are you gonna do with it once you do?!?
