Well I hear Big Tex bought out PJ. I hope they don't cheapen up their trailers to match the BT. I sold my 07 PJ 14k dump and bought a new Big Tex 14K last December thinking they were pretty much a clone of a PJ...wrong. The Big Tex is pretty flimsy, the PJ had a horizontal channel running down the sides where the BT does not. May not be a big deal, but it rattles a lot more when empty. The BT takes a lot longer to dump, I think they went to a smaller pump. I was able to put a bigger battery in the PJ to increase battery capacity and cycle time, BT has the pump crowded close to the battery, so will have to move the pump if I want a bigger battery. The ramps on the BT are narrower and shorter! I feel like I am going to spin out loading my 6500# skidsteer....can't wait to do it in the rain :x Then when I get in the box with it it pops and creaks like something is flexing the wrong way. The doors for the ramps don't shut tight, so whenever I dump a load of gravel they fill up and I have to take the time to clean them out. Also the rear tie-downs are on the floor of the trailer, so whatever I am dumping gets hung up on them and more time to clean. The license plate position would have had the plate hanging below the frame (come on guys, it's a dump trailer and the frame dang near drags on the ground when you dump)....great engineering. I finally bent the handle that locks the swinging gates in the rear as you would smash your fingers every time you closed them. I almost lost the pivot pins that hold the tailgate on as they forgot to put cotter keys in them. The good? It has a 110 charge port, spare tire mount on the side and came with a roll over net cover that actually hooks on the rear.
Overall, I am disappointed...I expected more from a major manufacturer. Oh, and I finally got my $300 rebate from them after 5 months of waiting. Will have an update later on the 25 foot 14GN deckover that I also bought at the same time.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
