Mario, thats more than three yards! What load rating are those tires? Likely C, MAYBE d. D might work for that load but e would be even better. You were pushing there bud lol. Surprised the tires didnt blow. Good thing you were only a mile away or you would have had problems. Maybe even with axles. Add that front end loader wait and wow, you got lucky lol.

Shut up dude. I paid for 3 yards, therefore it's 3 yards. :-)

Those are 7,500 axles, so 15k total.
Tahoe is 5,500+ Lbs.
Scale weight came in at 19,420, so I'm under the 15k for the trailer.
Definitely way over the towing capacity of my Tahoe's frame/suspension rating, but with good brake controller and slow speed, she did OK.

As for tires, they are ST225/75R15, so I was pushing them a little.

On 1463566903,
I normally only take 2 yards at a time

One day, while I still owned both my Tundra and Tacoma I stopped to pick up garden soil, never considering that was in the Tacoma, not the Tundra. The Tundra would have shrugged this off...the Tacoma had custom rear leaf springs NOT designed for carrying heavy loads.

This was the result.

Do you have any more pics? That is gorgeous, my Soon to be fiancé would love to see more! :P

When we finally finish out the interior I will be getting a ton of pictures. It is a really fun project.

I don't see a problem with that picture.

The REAL mg has been running like a champ since I got it. It needs a few things, like some new shocks, but its been great so far.

For all the complaints about Samsung, we did this 65" KS series Q-dot TV and I gotta say.....this thing is f'n sweet. Discrete everything and insanely quick power up. This is another we did with a cantilever and a recessed backbox behind to hug it up. And no, the center is not our baby. And-and, Yes, ernie, backbox is now a word as well as and-and.

This car will NEVER give me more pain than THIS business does. So it's all good.

Funny, people always said how shitty audi's were a d how many problems I'd have with it. Even with the performance tune, never had a single issue with that car. Lucky? Maybe. But I focus on the good times, some of which comes with the process of working on it.

The tables have turned. I have friends with Audis, bimmers, Hondas and toyotas...I swear, everytime I'm talking to them their Honda or Toyota is in the shop. My girlfriends dads 2015 pilot just had its transmission replaced with 7k miles. My buddy's 2012 civic just had to have a new head gasket at 60k miles.

Out of all of my cars my transit connect and GMC Sierra has given me the most issues (both were lemons, ford cut a deal to buy back the TC) my dad has had Audis/Bimmers since 2008 and puts a lot of miles on them and never ever a single issue with them. I never had issues with my minis either

Finished a (my first) residential cellular booster system. The company i work for has done 1 before but i wasn't involved. If you can get RG-11 to the roof and RG6 to areas around the house...you can easily boost cellular signal inside the home in a couple of days. It's not cheap but for projects that demand/can afford it...it works. Doing another next week. I wish every new product was this easy to work with.

Which booster did you use? And with wifi calling now on all carriers, why would even the wealthiest clients bother?

We used inlogis to help design the system. I dont really know all the details with wifi calling. With the booster system you can drive into your garage and walk through your house while on the phone with no disconnect or handoff issues. Obviously that isnt possible with wifi calling. Not sure what other/if any issues exist.
