I keep trying to talk Jeffrey in to stripping the chrome off his MOMO wheels, and paint them in anthracite, along with getting the Red Brembo GT brake kit :D

Where does it stop :evilb:

:D :D

Looks Cholo eh :D:D:D

I hope you have electric brakes because that wheel base looks really small. Do you have a closer shot of wheels? I want to check out the size of the calibers. It's better to tow safe then sorry.

Jeffery is King of His Domain. I have no say in what he does or buys. I can only encourage. I did not encourage the 1/2 ton. However I did encourage it be a GMC. :D

That's funny Wasabe. I was gasping looking at that 36' Gladiator behind what appears to be a 1/2 ton SS extra cab. And I was questioning my thoughts about a Cafe or Gun behind my 2500HD... :D

I think the truck would brake down if we were towing a Gun or Cafe... aren't they heavier?

The Glad (according to the CRT website) weighs in @8000lbs. dry. Add in the weight of fuel, accesories, beer and the trailer and your towing 11,000+ lbs. with a truck rated to tow 7000 lbs! :eek: :eek: :eek:

A disaster waiting to happen :( :( Not an Insurance guys ideal customer!!

That's kind of the point I was getting at. I think that's still in the range, within a 1,000 or so of a Cafe, and possibly a light Gun. Be careful out there. :eek: :D
