Got sick of paying people to haul my junk so I bought a 1978 gas dumptruck. It also does a great job of plowing 3 feet of snow in the winter.

( trailer + cargo) I've got an auto trans with a low gear in my transfer case. I've also got some mountain hiways here with 1000 foot climbs and downhills. Have tractors ranging from 2000 to 12000lbs. I anticipate getting a 2500-3500lb trailer with a 12000 axle set. Thanks in advance.
