Colorado B.S. Thread

anyone know of a local (Denver metro) place that carries and sells Quick Fist products - Original or Go-Between?

 

What are you looking for? I have a set of the originals that I got from TW secret Santa a few years ago but have never used.

 

Sportsman's warehouse

 

It's a local deal. Yes it is part of the Cristo range but locals refer to it as the San Isabel's.

Check Big R, mine down here has them in store.

 

Not sure if I need the original or go-between. Wanting to use for securing the mtn bike in the bed. ??? PM me what you are asking in compensation, $ or micro brew. May take you up but would have to figure out logistics of handoff. Thanks again for posting.

Thanks - I will check out their locations and see if any are close to me. Much appreciated.

Answered some of my towing questions today ...

Machine is 3300. Trailer is about 2000.
I didn't care for towing that much weight. Luckily, I only had to go about 12 miles on county roads. Trailer had brakes but I don't have a controller in the truck so I didn't go over 40mph and slowed way early for intersections. Felt like I was treating my brakes like @Stig
Almost crapped myself when I unloaded the thing on a slight incline with the truck high.
I thought the ramps were sliding off the trailer so I had it in full reverse and was going to throw the bucket out to catch myself (never would've happened in time)
What had actually happened was the trailer had tilted and lifted the truck's rear wheels off the ground so the whole assembly was sliding backwards as I didn't have the parking brake set.
Anyway... wrong truck for that job
What's our tow rating anyway?

 

You forgot the

Enjoy but he made like 3 videos on why you should move here.

 

Not sure how that would've helped.
I may not have seen the trailer sliding then but I still would've felt it.
I guess I could've wiped my butt with it afterwards.

 

I just meant in the post.

I wont park on flat ground without the e brake on. Maybe 20 years of driving manuals did it, but I just cant. I absolutely cringe when the old lady parks her car and doesnt set it. But I think she doesnt set it just because I told her she should.

 

I'm with you. I always use the parking brake. I guess the impermanence of unloading a trailer that I'm then going to move and drop made me skip it.
Almost every thing I know I've learned the hard way so I can just add this to the list. Although that means something else will now have to be forgotten to make room.

 

Too much...

 

Happy Birthday Brett!!!
