I knew that just wonder why they don't still do that. 600 HP would be much nicer if you got 10 mpg

I've talked to people who have bought the aftermarket kit and said when they work they're great, when the die they suck.

I can see that, and jones has them on clearance so I wonder if they are done making them.

I think I can figure something out, of course I have never opened the hood with the springs hooked up, it might not be that bad.

Petecar hoods are super light compared to the hood on a 900L. Haha

That's no joke! If my bottom guides don't slide in, forget my short ass opening my hood by myself! As it is I sometimes have to open mine from the sides!

One of our drivers got run off the road up in Alberta this morning and ended up totalling the pup trailer, so I'm headed back to the yard tomorrow to grab a lowboy and go get it, luckily the driver was fine

I questioned it being totaled until I saw the @ss end of it. How'd he manage to tear the axle off just from running off in the ditch?

Could have been, I'm not sure. The guy this happened to has 20+years on the road so I know its not lack of experience, I'm thinking equipment failure

Really doesn't take much to total a hopper. I've seen a blown tire grab the ladder wipe the entire rear panel off.

Reskinning hoppers isn't a big deal, but where the axle got torn out from under that pup, there's probably no fixing it because the main structure of the trailer is damaged
