    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Im guessing those are 3500 pound axles with 10 ply tires. The rear tires in the pic seem to be squatting a bit so im thinking a little overloaded for the trailer.

    8200 pounds

    I like the way you think!

    Guss does this weight include the swamp jack or no?

    If I'm ever in want of a partner, I'm going to call you. All joking aside your almost dead on, the trailer itself empty weighs 1500 lbs and has 3500 lb axles with 6 ply tires.

    I think your a bit heavy on your estimate, I haven't had to put my wood blocks between the frame and springs yet.

    No the jack stays home, I'm just keeping the weight off that rear tire which is a slow leaker.

    Looked like he was in the process of removing the tires. Look at the load of steel inside, clear to the ceiling. I'm guessing about 4850 for the van and misc. scrap (including what's laying on the trailer). For trailer and all we're looking at about 5600 lb.

    If I did manage a trip to B.C. it would be spent nugget hunting, at Braelorn or Hedley on the Similkamean river.
