No internet for the last 4 days....crazy. Movers didn't finish loading until 8pm. Took a semi plus a uhaul...boo! I figure the trailer is around 2000lbs or so, will get exact weight tomorrow, but she tows like a boss! So glad I got the heavier OME springs. No sag, no bounce. Farts a little smoke on downshifts for uphill portions, but otherwise, cruising at 65, 2200rpm, purring like a kitten. Burned half a tank in 100 miles. I can live with that. Tomorrow is the WV turnpike, not looking forward to the downhill portions, but the electric brakes on the trailer seem to be working just fine.
Will be off the grid for the next 3 or 4 days in BFE KY. Yippee, guns and camping!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Good times. Trailers weighed in at 2500 lbs. Getting 12mpg at 65-70mph. No issues. Made it to KC today. Ended up leaving ky early due to weather. Heading to moab on wed. Gonna swap the prop shaft and top off tranny this weekend.
Significant change in route. My uncle is a retired truck driver and practically ordered me to not drive the vx through co on i70 towing the trailer. He thinks rhe brakes have no chance on those 15 mile decents. I am now gonna go south via 54 and come across i40 to albuquerque. Then up to moab from there. Adds 4-5 hrs but will save wear and tear and probably only afd 2-3 hrs based on a lot less moutains. Anyonebin the alburqurque area want to meet up, shoot me a pm.
We'll miss you but that's the right call...safe travels.
