That was a fun trip Randy :)
I remember driving between Winters & Hollister & somewhere around San Jose we were really pushing hard trying to get to the rally before dark & we were on a rough road....that truck was a beast but man, with those 19.5" tires....sheesh it was a rough riding bastard!
Jonas figured that we'd make better time if we'd put it in 4WD on the hwy because he was pretty sure that at no time was more than one wheel touching the ground at 80mph :) :)
Then we were driving along on route home & Jonas calmly asked me to very slowly stop the truck...huh? What up? "Just very slowly bring this truck & trailer to a stop"
Turns out all 4 load binders had come undone on his swivel frame & when he looked in the mirror...his truck was rolling back & forth on the trailer!!! Luckily his trailer had a big pipe or angle iron or something up front or I'd a likely been wearing it when I put the brakes on! :)
Oh Boy...fun & games :) :)
