Wow, well there you go!, that will probably void the manufacturers's warranty!

Speaking of excessive weight, I had a customer who had the loader which weighed 45lbs and it was causing the RC4WD lowboy to drag on the ground due to the excessive weight compressing his trucks suspension.

I built him a 2 axle jeep or dolly with heavy duty airbag suspension to cure his problem. He sent me a picture today of his rig with my dolly attached, worked out real good.

I will attach a couple pics of the dolly as well as a picture from one of my customer's looong stretched Grand Hauler with one of my 53ft tri-axle drop decks attached to it. It makes my 47.25" trailer look short almost! He just got this trailer a week ago from me.

Glad to see you signed up and joined us on the forum Darwin. Been dreaming about your trailers for years. Hope to order one soon.

Curious what that jeep trailer looks like. I have the same RC4WD lowboy and clearance can be an issue at times.
Here's a handy video showing you how to post pictures on a forum

Thank you Sneff for the warm welcome! I would be happy to set you up with a trailer someday!

So I will try again with my pictures. So hopefully my jeep that I built for the RC4WD lowboy shows up along with my customer's rig showing it attached. Also one picture showing another customer of mine with his long stretched Grand Hauler, and one of my 53' drop deck tri-axles behind it.

The only thing that would be better is if the lowboy had a longer neck so weight could be transferred to the tractor axles, right now all the lowboy weight is completely on the jeep's axles. The lowboy kingpin needs to reach in front of the dolly's front axle to put some weight on the tractor also. But it works fine this way. That loader is 45lbs he said, so the jeep is keeping the front of the lowboy off the ground.

A folding gooseneck would be great!

Sweet, any plans for a Coastway Lowboy in the future?

Well at this time I don't have any plans for a lowboy. A frameless hydraulic 40ft end dump is higher on my list when I do decide to build something new, or a quad axle flatbed with lift axle in rear.
