The70judgeman Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 This was my ride for a number of years before I became the yard foreman. A Capacity Trailer Jockey TJ4000. Sprung front and bagged rear, twin ram hydro trailer lift, electric cab lift, air pin release, and a Cummins 6cyl. diesel w/Allison auto trans. Hooked on is a 42' Great Dane flatbed trailer.

The70judgeman Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Andy. That would make a cool model. Steve LOTS of scratch building and kit bashing! I've thought about it though. And, I have no measurements either, but it weighed 14,700 pounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgrgbldr Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I found this on the internet. It is a right hand drive version. Dimensions are there and readable. Just put it in a photo editor and flip it left to right. Capacity TJ7000 RHD.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) @Gary- Thanks for posting the file for the Capacity. Funny thing about my pictures...I was tooling around looking at houses for sale and switched to a satellite view, found where I used to work, zoomed in, and there I was taking the pictures I posted above.

olsbooks Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 That is scary! Big brother is watching. Never quite understood why these things were so heavy or expensive but I guess they were designed to take alot more abuse and banging up than a regular truck. Thanks for getting the the thread started on these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The70judgeman Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 @Jesse- That particular TJ4000 scaled out at about 14,500 lbs. Which is only about 1500-2000 lbs less than a regular day-cab tractor with tandem axles(around 16,000+ lbs.). But yeah, they are built for abuse...very solid frames.
