Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler

I have gone where most will no go. I am in the process of adding a 2nd drive axle. I am doing the work myself. As you can tell from the pics. I have came a long ways. I just have the bed work to finish the project. I will be extending the bed & dully fenders to have a full bed. Let me know what you think.



















The reason I am doing this is to handle the toy hauler better on the road.

    With the tripple trailer axles, especially with them positioned so far forward on the trailer as yours are, with all or most of the garage area behind the trailer axles, I can't imagine the pin weight of the trailer being too much for a single dually axle to handle.

    How are you intending to connect the driveshaft between the 2 rear axles?


    Pin weight unloaded is 3600 pound. Iam planing on useing a NV-200 transfur case to tie it all to geather. That is another phase of the project. I just wanted to get the truck done as it is my only truck I got to tow hauler with. Thanks for asking.
  • Yes it is quite a beast. :C
    Don't forget to post pics when your project is finished.
