That's a really nice truck but I think the dollies just plain crazy personally. We already a track enough attention without something like that.

Don't know how big your trailer is? But if it's light enough maybe an extended pin box and air ride hitch.
Also might think about extending hitch farther out the back of the truck.
Way too close for me.

Thank you I appreciate it.I love your setup! Both trucks are sooooo clean!

Watch where you put side marker lights on your bed. I think you can see mine ? 2 inch flush mount.
They're right in the way of where I want to put my ramps. So the chrome rings I have around them keep getting broken. I never planned on sideloading anything when I built the bed. But I did make removable side rails for loading pallets with the forklift. They slide the same as side rails on a rollback tow truck and are held with pins.
Also watch your hitch Height. Stock my rhino just cleared the fifth wheel hitch loading from the back. But with the long travel suspension it's wider and lower and just skims over the top of the fifth wheel plate.
The razor and I think CAN- AM are going to be longer so you really need to be careful.
As for the side lights if I did it again I would still use 2 inch LED but French them into the bed sides.

X -2I think the most common place to get ready made ramps is http://www.discountramps.com/auto_ramps/c/4120/
They ship extremely quick. I think mine came across the border and were at my door within 48 hours.

Side load long travel rhino
Also use them for extra support loading my early bronco into my toyhualer.

Like the seats very nice.

Put a piece of nylon fishing line along side the screw as you install it. (Farmer's locking thread.) For bigger thread, a bit of weed eater string works well. Or shave a sliver off a nylon zip tie.
For a short term fix, a thick blade of grass or stem from a leaf will work until you can get proper supplies.
Hey, when yer stuck out in the field with limited resources, you can get pretty creative.
Glenn's correct about the blue loc-tite. And you can get it as a waxy paste now, sort of like big chap-stick. John Deere dealers carry it.
Love the old farm fixes that's just cool.

Keep an eye on the screws. My deck is welded 3/16 but the center section between frame rails is screwed and the screws keep coming loose from frame flex.
Your correct the former owner did a great job. And did most of the hard work for you.

If you do a search you might find some of the build and singling pictures for your new sweet ride. I know there where a few. Been a while so the could have dropped out.
The former owner had a couple different screen names as I recall.

Looks great keep posting pictures.
Nice to see another peterbilt. We are a little out numbered here.
Did you buy the truck in Temacula or Menifee California?

I think we're both in the same boat in the same state. We want to haul similar things. If I keep my truck it would make more sense to get a pull behind toy hauler for the wife's rhino and put the bronco up on the truck.
It's just way too much work setting up and tearing down camp.
