Biggus's Stuck in South Carolina!!!! Trip from HELL.
 
If there is anyone in the South Carolina Exit 119 in South Carolina near the Georgia border, Biggus is broken down. He did get off the highway. Two days ago he was trailering a boat down and had a front hub lock up on him. I guess the guy that did his breaks never greased the bearings and they siezed solid. Luckily he was able to break it free and get off the highway. two days 900 bucks, custom machined parts and lots of labor later he was back on the road today and got about 100 miles to find that the other side was about to sieze up also!!!! So now he is stranded this time at a Ford dealer waiting for them to take care of the next side. Anyhow if some one is in the area I am sure he would LOVE to have ya stop by and say hi. Call me on my cell and I will give you his phone number. (978) 985-0639

Damn! That sucks big time...
I'll give you a call for his cell #. I have a set of BMW wheels I need picked up in MD & dropped here in Greenwich. He could make a little cash.

Ok DJD that sounds good I know he will need it now!!!!!! :( In true Biggus form he is taking it all in stride! I know that TooOld offered up his truck yesterday to him, quite a offer!!!!

Sounds good Fred. I think that he will have more luck this time as the dealer should have more luck getting parts and this time it did not seize so they should not have so many issues with the parts that he had at the other place. I was just thinking it would be nice for him to get out and have a lunch or something. Sounds like you are way far away from him.

I talked to him yesterday as well. I hope Monroe is having a good time as well:D :D :D

TooOld no offense but I am sure that he will never be so glad to get out of a state as he will be to get out of South Carrolina. I may suggest that he go around it on the way home and have you drive out to get your drives :D:D

Lost Trailer Wheel
 
I lost a wheel (rear of tandem) on a brand new Target trailer on Route 95 in Santee SC. Called "Britt Bros" truck repair, got me going next day, lots of damage when the wheel came off, good price, great service. Not sure how far Biggus is from Santee, but I have the number if you need it.

Troutly he asked them to look at the other side. Guess the guy pulled off the cover and said it was greased up. At his next gas stop he was smart enough to feel the covers. I would have him tow anything anywere. Just a bad situation being stuck some place you do not know having to have MAJOR work done.

This was his TRUCK bearings not the trailer.
