  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Says it’s for winter driving and not towing and yet the second set of wheels aren’t “driven” so how does that work? Just some nut decided to make something weird, in that he succeeded!

    66electrafied Just tossing in my nickel's worth

    Hmmm...Just read the other thread. So; it's supposedly to help traction in winter. The Germans have a wonderful word for this, "Quatsch". Wouldn't help one iota. With as many semis as I see spin out on icy roads, that's a load of hooey.
    So for towing extra weight. Uh huh; - sure, a little more believable. However it's a bumper pull, and they don't make heavy trailers that would require a set of dualies that pull from the bumper. Anything that heavy would pull the frame apart. So the weight thing isn't plausible either. Maybe it was that truckers are bored and uncomfortable in their Peterbuilts, and they would prefer a Buick that handles like a truck instead. Sure, I could see that; - but just like the article said, - no market. Can't see people falling all over themselves to get at this.
    So; - it's branded as "rare". Yup; very true. Only one known. But, and this is a big but like mine, with no provenance or verifiable history this falls into the "Rare but nobody cares" category.
    There's one born every minute. I wish him all the best with the sale.
