Colorado B.S. Thread

Ha ha. Not funny

 

I use wheel bearing grease and coat the clip so it can't spin. Opening faces down and use a big rubber mallet

 

Great day up at wolf creek!

 

Thanks bud. Michelinman called me and told me to add grease to hold the clip. It worked great. I was able to pop them right in like that.

 

Uhaul trailers are fucking sketchy. I might end up making two trips tomorrow; going to re-load it tonight to better balance the weight but if it still sways a bit then I'll have to unload half of it and just make two trips.

 

I have towed a few of their trailers, 6x10, 5x10, and the utility one with a ramp. It aways seems like the tongue is pointed at the ground and you have about 2 inches of clearance. I have logged about 1000 miles with those three and have never had a problem. even 75mph for 4 hours.

 

Aww...they grow up so fast! Look at him using a CV for the first time! *tear*

 

Beautiful bluedbird day!!You guys went sledding today instead? Wish I could have made it. Sometimes it sucks having to act your age.

 

Nope. That is the view from Bonanza. Too perfect. Started around -15 but the sun was intense. Our faces froze a few times, but it was fun none-the-less.

The snow was pretty much perfect between 930 and 230.

I refuse to act my age.

 

aren't you like 23?

 

I repacked the trailer; it's a 6x10. I suspect it was a weight distribution problem that in my mind I had more weight in the front of the trailer but in reality didn't. I've fixed the weight distribution now but we'll see tomorrow when I leave. The trailer nose looks quite low now whereas before it seemed more level and a few inches higher.

 

They say that it loads 60-40 if you use the line they provide. I think it is more 70-30 to prevent lawsuits and such.

 

Now @sean266 You Wasted Your Luck On Tickets At Bondocks. So come PowerBall Wednesday night your luck will be gone.

 

That's a better form of "Stupid Tax" than the power ball.

At least Sean will get the big lollipop with his tickets.

 

As long as I can do 60 with no sway I'll be happy; The rear of the taco is pretty low but I think it'll be fine. It's only for 130 miles or so.

I bought a ticket. I buy a ticket maybe 3x a year; It really is just tossing $2 away though.

 

I was going to say "take it back out and spit on it, it'll slide right in!" But further reading shows you got it.

 

It'll probably sway @60 but you if your packed that full you may be pushing it above 55 at times anyway. You should be fine. I survived 1700 miles across the country with a 6x10 packed to the gills towing on an unrated high clearance bumper and 7" drop hitch.

 

Someone won 50k at our local King Sooper...dad was going to buy tickets there too and forgot haha. Bought them later at 7-11

 

Yeah I have a side road route picked out if I need to get off the interstate but hopefully it'll work out. I'd be happy with 55 without sway. When the trailer was half loaded I was cruising at 65 on the straights without any issue. We'll see! I definitely would invest in a anti-sway system if I did this again.
