Holy 5h17, I'd trade away 72 virgins and five kegs of beer for that! A bottomless Summit Racing account in addition to that would be enough to make me want to live forever.

That tractor is a heavy mother. The photos were enhanced to make it look like scale models.

The give-away is that no one ever made a scale model with a rusty hood.

Actually, it's a bad spray job that's peeling; however, as far as your "rusty hood" remark, check out the mad skills here. There are some scale rat rods in there.

The truck is Teal and I'm running a 5.2L Magnum with a Fastman TB with some minor polishing work I did on the heads.

You already have, infidel! Allah, take no mercy on your soul!

Sorry, I'm just really stretching to find a reason to use that smiley.

No idea, but it is effing heavy. I'm guessing 6,000+lbs.

Back when I was moving to the city and only had my 1995 Dakota, all I had was the bumper. The U-Haul guy asked me what class my hitch was, and being clueless back then, I just said bumper. He went out and looked at it with me and told me he could only legally rent me a very small trailer, that anything larger would require a receiver hitch which I didn't have.

So its very possible that even if you intended, for whatever reason, to stretch the power of your bumper, they might not let you.

Thank God for my uncle and his fifth wheel horse trailer, made the trip much easier. The only time I've ever been thankful for a GMC product (at that time, he drove a GMC 2500 with the 6.0L engine).
