1. Plate obstruction by the hitch doesn't matter much when there is a trailer behind the vehicle. 1b. He didn't mention how my "co driver" didn't put the trailer plate on because it was too cold up there for his old bones! :P 2. Yup, front plate is missing. Hazard of our location and big...

The steering was fine. Other than the exhaust temps because of no intercooler, it drove great. The rear springs were too soft, and my rear shocks need to be replaced, so we really felt the bumps. I want to add airbags to the Durango for when we start towing the Jeep to 4x4 events. As for the...

Mission Accomplished!!! We changed our plans and headed out about 9pm last night to Limestone to pick up the trailers. My father decided to come with me and volunteered his '06 Duramax, but after the last time I borrowed it, there was no way I was going to pay for fuel for that thing! We...

I'm attaching a pic of a vehicle I brought back from Indiana with my little V-6 Dakota, with 8.25 rear axle (Durango uses 9.25), and no trailer brakes. One of the trips I made with that truck while moving was a Jeep Grand Wagoneer on the trailer, the Wagoneer was stuffed to the roof with...

Just a few pics of the drawbar. I got lucky, and can still open the hatch. I used the Class IV drawbar from a weight dist. hitch I had, and cut away the ball mount area. That left a "C" channel about 3/8" thick bolted to the drawbar. I welded two sections of 3"x1.5" C channel to the drawbar's...

O.K., I have my hitch just about done. I made a VERY strong drawbar that will raise my pintle about 18" above my receiver. This may sound scary, but trust me...I do fabrication, and I made sure this thing is STRONG! The only other question that came to mind, since I don't use pintle hitches...

No trailer rentals...I'm up in the sticks...closes real trailer rental place is at least 50 miles from here. The only local trailer up for rental is $300 for a day. I already called about it when I had to move my rollback ramp truck. I ended up using my poor old tired trailer. I'm going to build...

I have a 16' tandem axle trailer, but it has no brakes, and is in poor condition. I don't really want to go that far with it. Its not the weight of the 105s that worries me...I know I'll be able to stop by driving cautiously, its the single axle and stability. I once towed my 7000 lb. Dodge...

I need to pick up a couple M105A2 trailers at Limestone, ME. The only vehicle I have to tow with right now is my wife's Durango with swapped in Cummins 4bt and NV4500 5-speed. It has E-rated tires and steel wheels for strength, and the 3.54 gears should work great with the diesel. But after...
