And they said you had to have a pick up!
TOWING 101
The lesson on how not to do things seems to 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 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 probably had 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 sheet-metal 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 !!"

How'd you find that pic of my Blazer before it was painted? ???
-
;D :o

that would be a great river trailer!!! but i dont have a blazer to tow it with.............

Please tell me those pictures were taken in Utah. That way I at least have a chance he'll wreck before he makes it to SoCal.
P.S. How come you didn't take a picture of the car dolly hooked to the back of the first trailer with the overloaded 1-ton truck attached ;D

Holy Shit!!! You know you're a redneck when........................

That is the craziest thing (tow related) I have ever seen. He should have at least installed some air shocks :o >:D
