This one has been around a while and may be posted here, but I found a video to back it up.

That's not a true replica of it. I'm surprised Adam and Jamie weren't more accurate. The original pic had the load nearly centered on the rear axle while the replica has it mostly centered on the car as a whole. They need to set the load to the back like the pic crushing the top of the rear window with much less (if any) weight on the front axle.

Obviously this guy drives this thing for a living, you'd think he'd at least buy the correct length of trailer.

Must be super hard on the hydraulics too. Just before the first picture he flew over a set of train tracks bouncing everything.

BTW please don't mind my messy dash.

Reasonably priced dump trailers top out at 12', maybe 14' from what i've seen. Anything bigger is goosneck only, tripple axle & double the price. I've been wanting a longer trailer than my 16' tilting deck & a dump trailer. But havent seen anything that would fit the bill at a high price, much less my cheap *** Craigslist & auction trolling range.

There are quite a few bumper pull, two axle 16' dump trailers around, but I don't know if you'd consider them "reasonably priced" or not. I picked up a new 14K 16' Load Trail last Friday for $6899 with a spring-loaded 10K jack (a similar PJ was the same price). The low profile version (24" load height) runs $400 more.

Gman--That is a good looking trailer. What a great way to get gravel , dirt, wood or many other things. One of those has always been on my short list.
I sure wished you lived closer so I could be your new best friend.

Well I am not finding the bucket pic from Thailand but here is one of me and better half being 'hauled' by an elephant. Some steep grade and then our guide hopped off had us ride her down the hill by ourselves for about 30 minutes while he snapped pics with my wife's iPhone. We were holding on pretty hard. No seat belts!

Or maybe I should have posted this pic in 'Today's Seat Time'?

This irresponsible display is totally disgusting! No helmet. No steel toe shoes. No seat belt. hmmm - at least you had 4 wheel drive

Actually, it looks like a fun experience that few of us will ever get to enjoy. Thanks for sharing.

Just an FYI, They do make 16' dump trailers in conventional (not gooseneck) style. I have one rated at 13,8K.

Something has to be up, $1650 for that would be awesome.

I believe I saw that same trailer for sale in TN a few weeks ago for about the same price. Nobody is going to sale that trailer for under 2k. A little single axle dump here is 2,500 to 3,000 easy.
