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.

To each, their own. :) The truck is definitely quite a beast. :BWith 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?

Yes it is quite a beast. :C Don't forget to post pics when your project is finished.

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.

Now that's Redneck as all get out.......:B----But I like it.... lol

I love watching custom projects. I know from experience that these things can take a very long time. I'm impressed with how quickly you can keep the projects moving.

Thank you. It does take a long time. If I had to pick a most important tool for the job. It would be my Plasma cutter. It really has save me on alot of work and money. :)

:BYou could run on a "Law and Order with COMMON Sense'platform.:B

Wouldn't that fry their ________?:?:S

Back to your normal programming.

By the way. How's Big Red Fire Trucker coming along?

Big banners hung from it and the Toy Hauler would make an impressive mobile billboard!
