Be carefull on who you use to transport a sold rig..

GIZMO1 · Mar 22, 2012

As some of you know I was selling the Black Widow TJ for a friend of mine and I wanted to share a few photos of what has happend to the Jeep hear recently, I sold the Jeep to a guy in California and he setup the shipping for the Jeep, As you can see from the pictures it did not make it very far ( Actually only two miles from my office ) I really feel bad for the new owner but insurance is going to take care of him. So for anyone selling a rig be sure your shipping company has good insurance.

Loaded up at my office

two miles up the interstate

Hear, Hear Scott!!! molaugh

The dumbasses put a trk of equal size/weight on the rear of the trailer to top it all off. It was probably be be unloaded first and didn't want to hassle with unloading/reloading the lighter rides that should have been at the rear. Wonder if those idiots were part of that hauling show that comes on?

I would say the truck is not over loaded (SUV 4k TJ 6k Frd 8k 5k trailer 23k total) well within the rated capacity of the truck. Loaded correctly the Ford is loaded with the front axle in front of the trailer axle(as to not tail load the trailer). I know guys that pull Hot Shot and regularly gross 35k with these trucks. I would say he did what he had to do to not run over one of those 90 year old yankees in the left lane running 40 mph.

Exactly my thoughts, doesnt looks remotely close to over weight.

He rolled the rig at the I-110 / I-10 West bound ramp in Pensacola, from what I have been told speed and weight where the issues. That F-450 was unloaded from the middle of the trailer to load the jeep, the truck also had the spare pb rockers and wheels loaded up.
