Guy says firm, but I think there's 3-5k of play in there. That's a pretty sick fucking setup for 85k and I don't think it would be hard to make it back on that...

Man those axles are way forward (understandable) so you would have to be VERY careful on sharp turns and not striking anything with the backside. 

Isn’t that the price of a new one?

are there any additional upgrades?


Just a passing thought, but if the pits wouldn’t be used every single time, what about a double trailer? Pits on the second, hooked to the first as needed. On occasions when the pits aren’t needed, leave em behind.

That's basically what I was saying above.  Double 500 with a separate direct-fire cooker/grill on a trailer.  Food truck (kitchen) to pull it.  Easier to park side by side.  It just lacks that badass factor.

 

If that's the War Wagon, ETSC wants $100K for it base.  Only advantage to this one is that you don't have to wait and can pay a little less if the specs work out for the needs.

Nice. Thought I saw the base “on sale” on their site for 90k. But yeah, upgrades and stuff might make something like that worth it. no lead time, other than getting it wrapped. 

 

Not sure what a food truck type of frame could tow behind it, considering it would already be weighted down pretty good.

 

There is definitely a “wow” factor on an all in one type trailer. Certainly an attention getter.

That one isn't listed as "on sale" today.  A lot of those FedEx looking food trucks are rocking 6 cylinder turbo diesels.  Probably enough grunt to pull a couple of pits, but certainly the main factor in that setup is can it do it safely, fully loaded.

That was my thought as well. Can one pull it safely, and not like a ranger with a 12k lb camper.

Approximate haul capacity of one of those turbo diesel 6s is between 10--12k lbs.  But how heavily laden the truck is, the wheel base, and the brakes are the big considerations versus just the grunt of the engine, even assuming the pit trailer has brakes too.  My guess is that the trailer would weigh between 4,500 and 6,000 lbs (that may be an overshoot on the high end of the range; a single 500 gallon trailer from Primitive Pits on a dual axle trailer weighs 2,000 lbs).

Damn. You're right. I refreshed the page and sale gone. Must have ended this week.

At some point, we need to take turns messaging him and lowballing him so when immamac comes in with a reasonable offer, the seller's been tenderized a bit.

What are you gonna do if he accepts the lowball to move that thing? Lol

Edit- nevermind, you could just sale it to imma for close to what they were asking anyway.

Just ghost him.  That's what tire-kickers do.  Makes a potential seller all the more appreciative of a real buyer. ;)

This seems like the easiest piece of the puzzle.

True story.  He was looking at a dick dispenser when that picture was taken.
