CrazyCooter Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well people are always trying to tell us the 5th has to go ahead of the drive axle...... Wonder how that handles a crosswind? 1999 Peterbilt 385 C12 430/1650 13spd 2006 Dodge 3500 DRW 4x4 2010 Hitchhiker Champagne 36 LKRSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Kildow Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 On the autos built today. I can see the doors never opening again. But that tank its on, well it would handle lots of weight. I seen a fool years ago. he had a bundle of 2x4's (294 pcs) on the roof of his Chevy Suburban. Not sure what the weight is, but I know last year I hauled 3 on my triple axles goose neck trailer. And I could sure tell they were back there. WOW just figured it and at 10 lbs per board that's pushing 3000 lbs.. I don't know how far the old was going. But the guy did tell me that was the second time he had loaded him like that.

hdonlybob Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I actually saw quit a few of them back in the late 40's when traveling the country with my folks and family... They were an excellent idea, but obviously as the cars got flimsier it became not such a good idea.. Yes VW's had them for quite a while, and you still can bump in to one on occasion... Also that has to be an altered 5er for this one too. Love it though..
