Do you think im overloaded?

[higginscl]

I scored this load of ash from my parents and i had this little mis-hap 7 miles from home with no spare

 

[Seasoned Oak]

Nah! Just pump a can o slime into that tire and it will be fine.

Looks like you did what any self respectin' Iowan would do......run 'er home anyway

And thats what i did. It was either unhook and leave my hard work by the side of the road for someone to hit or steal or drag the rusty pile. The looks i got as people passed by were priceless.

Um, yer truck broke in half.

 

[ScotO]

nothing says redneck like a truckbed-turned-trailer......and I LOVE IT!!

I'd have run her the whole way home too! Just on principle alone! Great score, by the way (almost didn't notice the load of wood!)

Does your truck match the trailer? That would look sweet.

Naa the other half went belly up long ago and my plow truck is white. The rust matches though.

Glad you made it home safe.
Gold score!

Edit:
Don't mind the mule, load the wagon !

Gold score!

I still like the "nevermind the mule, load the trailer!!"

 

[HDRock]

Been there ,done that But had a spare

 

[Blue2ndaries]

Awesome score...even more awesome haul!

 

[PapaDave]

Looks like the wheel made it out ok.
A take-off replacement tire from a tire shop should be cheap, and you're up and running again.
Nice score, in the meantime.

 

[NortheastAl]

Was it worth it? Heck yeah!

Nice load. I'm amazed the trailer made it home. That looks like a ton and a half load on there.

 

[jdp1152]

Never have seen a cross section of Ash that looked like that before.

 

[Seasoned Oak]

That truck bed looks like it was in a drive by shooting. Or the finale of a bonnie and clyde movie.

Me too, only to find out my spare had dry rotted. Ever try to find a 8-14.5 low boy at 4:30 on the first nice Friday afternoon of the summer? (While your aerial lift sat on the side of the highway)

 

[nate379]

What happened to the other part of the truck?

 

[jkranes]

What do you mean, no spare? You had a whole truckload of spares: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/videos/fixing-a-flat.htm (watch the clip entitled 'good wood')

 

[MrWhoopee]

Overloaded!!? I think that thing needs side racks! You should be able to get a full cord in there.

 

[WeldrDave]

Nice Job That's what I'd a done.....adapt and over come!
