Lmackattack Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 that's a sharp looking western.... love to color and alum wheels all the way around. Something about the little more aluminum trim really sets them apart from a standard R model. Must have been a tight fit with the 36" bunk on. I know my RS sitting at 206" is getting tight with a gen box on the nose of the trailer. I don't think I could safely pull a 53' refer unit with a bunk on back? When I hauled a race car transporter back from road America the Gen box would touch the pogo stick and that's where the end of my bunk would have been. I had to pull the stick out to get it home with no scratches on the box.....my 5th wheel was at 6" ahead of center.....

Lmackattack Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 It looked a little long for what it is... I think the emissions crap hanging on the frame is why.... Personally for what we do around Chicago I would want it as short as possible but allow it to axel out. It was a very clean looking truck and who ever did the build did a good job...
