You have to see this!!

This lesson is on how not to do things seems to totally escape some people. I'd love to see how the trip ended up but I feel confident he ended up in a ravine somewhere wondering why bad things seems to always happen to him.

He's hooked up and ready to fly!! It's amazing how the extra weight really smoothed out the ride in the truck. He did have to air up the rear tires a bit (around 160 psi)

He added some heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate (note that he used the "Heavy-Duty 'S' hooks to attach the chain) He also paid-up for some BIG 5/16 sheetmetal screws to attach the frame to the tailgate. Yeah, he knows it's overkill, but he didn't want the possibility of having an accident.

Much of his time was spent on his front porch whittling down that MASSIVE 4x4 board to fit precisely into the ball mount receiver. Also note that he used a 14" piece of 1x4 to help distribute the load more evenly--"YOU CAN"T BE TOO SAFE, YOU KNOW!!". " It cost a little more, but you just can't be too safe when pulling a trailer of this magnitude !!".
Look out Utah , cause here he comes !!!!

I wonder if he financed it? :huh:
It's a pretty good idea, but to take a loan out on something like that is questionable.
The best part is when it's raining cats and dogs, the way the truck tilts back acts as a natural drainage slope, always outside of the tailgate.

On top of everything else thats just flat out wrong with that setup, look how close the trailer is to the roof of his vehicle. The first time he tries to take a sharp corner he is going to cutomize the roof of his car and the front of the trailer. :smt043

So you traded in the Jeep? :huh:

 

[Turtlesboat]

Yes, but I have to say the ride isn't much better. I still have instability problems going around turns at 60mph.

Don't you have trim tabs on that rig...............or maybe Capnjohn might have a suggestion or two. :smt043

I heard you bought the whole rig from Captjon. :wink: Then he got mad when he bought a defective boat and felt he got cheated in the deal somehow, then came here to take out his frustrations on you...


Well, thats what I heard anyway.... :smt101

I could pack up the wife, four boys, and two dogs and go travel around for a month in that thing and document it here on CSR...

:huh: I don't see what the big deal is....I sure it's equipped with trailer brakes! :smt017

 

[wish2fish]

looks like we are still getting some digs in about some previous threads. I thought there were some apologies and I would think that would be the end of it!

my 2 cents!

HUH??? All I see is abunch of kidding/ribbing going on. (Having some lighthearted fun)

But when lighthearted fun turns to hurt feelings is when we have problems.
