Looks great man. I'm glad you're enjoying it. We often forget that it's the journey, not the destination that often remains as the fondest memory.

Looks great but I'm real surprised that the Bobcat picked it up. Looks way too heavy to me. Guess not.

Took her down the road this afternoon with my dads suburban.. The truck didn't like it very much lol was bottomed out as soon as i hooked it up.. also was pegged at 60 on the interstate down to the floor lol going to try it with my Ram 2500 Cummins on Monday to see how it acts. My dad was suprised his truck did so bad with it

Amazing

 

[DownHomeQue]

Thanks lol I might be needing the big rig lol This thing is heavy even moreso than I thought it was

Nice job on that pit.
I don't think I'd want it behind my 2500 tho. Especially with a load of wood up front too.
Good luck with it!

Ok Towed it Yesterday with the 2500 it did much better.. She weighs in at 7000 pounds.. went over to the scales.. Needs a lot more tongue weight.. Was going to build the wood and coal box out of 1/8 inch sheet metal.. thinking of beefing that up to at least 3/16 to help with that.. She still wanted to sway on me a little out of the corners.. because she was balancing on her axles.. so we need at least 1000 pounds tongue weight to make her behave right.. Plan to start on the box/fryer build today..

 

[DownHomeQue]

Got a lot of funny looks going down the interstate lol

 

[DownHomeQue]

Ok making Progress on the front box.. relocated the spare tire mounts to the front of the trailer.. The 2 openings left will be the doors.. Working with this 1/8 inch thick metal had been an absolute nightmare :twitch:.. we've worked with nothing thinner than 1/4 inch before.. so this is a new experience.. the bottom of the box is 3/8th plate (taking care of my tongue weight problem) and this box will house and keep dry my cooking wood.. a lot of it lol and the open side will be where we mount the fryers.. The Box is Approximately 45 inches by 44 with x 57 long.. will be completely enclosed from the weather..
