Re: Need more space? Got a few hundred G's?

Listing is gone, I think both fronts steer together.

No, the .url just got chopped off too short - the listing is until late May 4th:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...item3f09167260

Fireplace, chopper garage, circular staircase, too much to list!

Re: Need more space? Got a few hundred G's?

13' 6" is legal just about everywhere (with all of the etc etc exception blah blah low bridge caca exclusions and inclusions aside) ..

.. but that 48' length may get ya .. 45' is what is legal in most states for a "single vehicle" (even though combo vehicles up to 65' feet are allowed just about everywhere) .. most states allow "special use" permits for longer vehicles/loads (some require a "pilot" car) .. but what a pain in the fanny to coordinate that every time you wanted to travel ..

.. then again .. how many times is LEO going to be so bored they are going to pull you and measure your rig to see if you are 3' longer than allowed?? .. lol ..

.. wonder what the weight loads are on those axles? .. yeesh ..

With two front axles I would say just about every time he sees it.
