First real tow!

So I was able to tow "Candlestick" yesterday and today from home to work and back again. It tows pretty nice, I was worried about the torsion axle being too much creating a lot of bounce but so far it's not too bad. I still have to add a lot more to it on the inside which will put some much needed weight on the axle. May not have fenders on it for this weekend but that's another story.

Mike,

That is so cool! What a beautiful job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :applause: :applause:

I can hardly wait to see some camping pics from you with a backdrop like this (hey, does that tower off in the distance look familiar?) 8)

We'll be watching for you when we're in the desert!

Thanks everyone for your praise, although it looks close and it's some what road worthy I still have a lot to do with it.

Currently it's empty inside and it's not even water proof that's another thread. It's really taking a toll on me and my family this thing may have to go on the back burner for a while after this weekend trip so I can focus more on the family and distress.

Thanks again and have a great fourth of july!!!! :P

I suspect you won't be able to wait too long since you've come so far on your build. I hope mine will be that close one day. Very nice tear.
