Thanks for all the responses. I flew to S. California for a couple of days and looked around at all the used pneumatics that were available. It may have been a mistake but the 2005 Toyota 7FGCU15 with only 24 hours on it was so much nicer than anything else available, especially for my purposes. We need it primarily indoors in new warehouse door installations. So it being easy to haul around is an important aspect. I have a hard packed flat gravel driveway at our shop and we will use it there occasionally but if it gives me too much trouble I will just concrete it. I was a little concerned about getting it off and on the trailer but after seeing it drive right up a tilt trailer truck without any problems I think we will have that covered. Also this little lift is easy to pull out of the holes. At least I probably won't have to worry about major repairs for a while. By the way I did come across some fat heavily treaded replacement tires which the salesmen claims does improve traction on rough surfaces while I was over there. Again thanks for all the responses, hope I don't end up kicking myself.
