Looks completely legal to me. Also looks very well cared for too. :funny:

You're right...Wow, just wow!

Yea, I guess one could say that truck has been slammed.

OK since no one is gonna say it then I will. That sign definitely says Mercy on it. Like the truck is just screaming for mercy. Perfect.

wow, an older 3 axle 5er is much heavier than todays models for sure.
I have seen similar but not that bad.

I'm guessing that thing weighs close to 18-20k ready to camp and I have it's pretty scary watching them try to get it stopped or make a turn. :crazy:
Just for idea of what that beast weighs my old 1989 26ft 5er weighs in at close to 11,000 loaded with a full tank of water and all the stuff one drags along for a trip. Most don't understand why I drag it with a F350 until I tell them how much it weighs.

I hear ya, we did the exercise this season of removing stuff from the camper. I would estimate that we removed close to 1000 lbs of stuff. That included 1500 rds of .223 and 500 rounds of 57x28mm. My rule was, "if we didn't use in the past year, it doesnt' go back in the camper"
That included, 9 12x12 tarps (yes I said 9)
2 large hammocks
3 gas lanterns
1 small grill
1 extra sat set up
300 ft of Coax
4 water lines
2 extra 50amp shore power lines
2 fans
bike rack
extra wood blocks
you get the idea
That was a lot of weight

You guys in Texas just don't realize how good you have it with no road salt. Just compare this wonderful example of a 1989 Chevy pickup driven regularly through the salt up here to the two trucks Doug posted up. They may be waaaay overloaded, but they're looking half way decent compared to this little beauty. Now, hook this one up to that fiver and watch the fun begin!

Just an fyi...this is off topic...Beech kid is at it again. ....

I spent twelve years living in Connecticut and two in Maryland. Why the hell do you think I am back down here now? :nana:

That second truck literally has snow on it Tom :uugly:

Yea, but if you look carefully, you'll see that it's at least a 3/4 ton model - built for towing. This is further evidenced by the (formerly) class III hitch for pulling the big stuff!

Are those carriage bolts I see?!?!?! :wow:

Looks like 2 carriage bolts that are not even tightened all the way down on that JC Witney "add a class III hitch"
- Maybe they are working their way out from the auto hydraulic brakes banging on that junk pile.
He could have at least put the safety line on the run away brakes to the bumper instead of leaving it coiled up on the top.
-
I'd almost hate to think what would happen if he really nailed the brakes.
-
Are those chains just wrapped around the (rusted all to hell) bumper and hooked back to themself? Or are they actually hooked to the receiver? I wonder what that was intended to be hooked up to with all of that chain. Man, I've been pulled over because my chains didn't LOOK crossed. Technically they were but it was a stupid design where both chains mounted to the same point on the trailer.
Those carriage bolts are killing me.
