Best way to transport 19 55 gallon barrels?

[Craig Nedrow]

With the tail gate down you can get 10 in standing up. A layer of 5 on top of those lashed together laid on their sides and in the bed width wise. Another layer of 4 on top of that lashed together and that layer lashed to the one below. Throw a tarp or fishing net over the whole mess and lash down into the bed. Can probably use jetline like home depot uses for twine.Can be tied down if you know how to tie a hay hitch. Lash your 4 layer and 5 layer like building a raft. Layer is 10-5-4

That's some funny **** right there, sure made me smile. I heat with an oil burning heater, but it does not like waste oil, bugger.

Unless you are aiming for a record on the 1/4 mile, I agree it shouldn't be that light...

Seeing the title of this thread pop up reminded me of the optimum layout for 17 boxes in a square pattern:

Sorry if this ruins someone's day

So i looked up the instruction sheet for my new receiver, its a class V Reese "clone" from a chinese company
Hopefully the welds are good, im going to inspect them for sure

The hardware is decent with it, ill determine whether i reuse original or not, but the bumper i got, i think im going to use some of the original ones if I can, because its already flash rusted exposed to the atmosphere and shiny. its also 9.8 instead of 10.9 hardness

Before I packed up for the night I used grinder with flap disk on the places the plates go, and used some rustoleum reform and seal brushed on so it cuts down on rust and keeps things from getting severely bad sandwiched together.

But when I go back in for rust removal in future ill have to probably redo or readdress to make it complete

on the c channel and the outside is where things attach, i cleaned that up on both sides

I also repaired my license plate lamp harness, had nicks and corrosion and missing conduit , got it nice

Rust never sleeps. Taylor I'm glad you didn't leave that rusty trailer hitch on the road somewhere. Do I see a GMT800? What power plant?

Seen that a time or 50 in Ohio. I haven't towed anything with our '00 Burb in a few years because the hitch and bumper are severely "weight reduced".

yes you must not have seen that I got a 2005 2500HD with 6.0 and 4l80e and np261HD (manual lever). 14 bolt AAM with 4.10, front 9.5 AAM axle
Im thankful my trailer back last summer was only full of barrels, had i had anything with weight or maybe even just concentrated weight in one spot, it may have broken off the receiver.

The scary thing is, that failure wouldnt be saved by chains, the hooks would simply be attached to the piece that breaks, and it would be a runaway/projectile lol!
