looks like it is "down under". Don't you first have to get it in the northern hemisphere?
Hmmmmmm
For some reason when I upload the pic it flips it upside down. Well you get the idea anyway.
Nice set-up. That tow dolly for the trailer looks substantial.

That has to suck to back up.

Backing up
It's not easy to back and takes a little real estate but its not as difficult as think. Easier then I think a tag trailer on some of the trucks is. The 5th wheel makes it easier.
Saw a neat concept for a homemade stacker. It was a 4 bar linkage design. Start with a platform and add a leg to each corner with a pin connection at the top and the bottom. Platform can then pivot aft to lay flat on the floor. Driver the car on it and lock it down with e-track or similar. Then use a winch running through a pulley on the ceiling to pull at an upwards angle to rotate the car up. Have a stop for the legs to rest against in the vertical position and pin it in place. Imagine a giant version of the 4 bar lifts that most F500/F600 drivers use.

I do not think that is a tow dolly. I think it is a tandem rear axle on the toter home.Originally Posted by racerdad2

Right on the axles
Yeah the toter is twin screw 500+ HP Detroit. I can load the trailer to the max and the truck doesn't even know its there. My goal is to haul 4 FST and a support vehicle. I have a 1994 VW Corrada I'm using to run around when we get to destinations.
The picture is amusing because of the amount of shine on the trucks chassis covers you almost can't even see it. Crazy hover truck.

Here are some pics of something you can put in it.:
Frame etched and POR-15 painted.
Belly pan epoxied and stagger riveted with countersunk blind rivets.
Most electrical done. Routed in convoluted tubing. with demarcation terminal.
VW components and engine go in next week.
Not the last one though:

Is it too soon to start up the truck
Is it too soon to start up the truck Jim. LoL !!!!
My wife keeps laughing at me because I won't quit staring at the pics you sent me. She keeps muttering something about boys and their toys.
