  1. First thing you want to do is have your hitch adjusted so your trailer is fairly level-to-slightly high in the front went it first rests down on the ball (w/o completely letting it down with the jack). Next, BEFORE you let the tongue jack down, latch the tongue on the ball and raise the trailer back up a little ways. Now......install the weight-dist bars and crank them up using whatever link on the chain of the bars that allows a good amount of tenision. (With the truck and trailer raised a bit with the tongue jack, it makes it much easier to allow more weight off the hitch.) Now lower the tongue jack and see how level you are. If you are still nosed down on the trailer, you'll need to raise your hitch. Don't forget, you WILL sag your truck a little bit. Some tongue weight is good to keep that trailer stright behind you. As for the bars, it depends on the model you have as far as how the angle of them is supposed to be. Most of them end up being pretty straight (level) or slightly angled down when installed properly. Hope this helps. This way has always worked great from my experience and I tow a 35ft tag toyhauler and have NO problems.
  2. That's really good news, Cole. Congrats.
  3. Yeah Tim is already there along with Wingnut and Don29Palms. That's cool.
  4. No problem Chris! You can even be PART of the circle if you want! When are you coming out?
  5. Just went shopping for Halloween weekend ...Albertsons is now out of food and beer! The pictures don't even do any justice too! Marinated chicken, corn on the cob, dogs, fruit, cinnimon rolls, cookies, chips, chips, more chips and dip, coffee, pizza, chicken nuggets, jalepeno poppers, burritos, lunch meet and cheese, juice, chocolate milk, Sobes, beer, and Gin/ tonic.
  6. oops, forgot to add dnchevyman (Dan) to the list..sorry Dan!
  7. Tim (Originalpimp) got there today and called me. Just a warning to everyone: the road just before the river crossing is graded wider than it normally is. They have NOT began any work on the concrete slab so use caution when approaching the slab, especially at night. He said the way the road is wider now, it almost looks as though the concrete slab would be too. This MAY be an issue at night, so just watch out pulling in.

  11. Joe, did you know Tim already staked our spot out and I suppose he is camping with us? I just talked to him about 30 minutes ago.
  12. Scott, we are camping in the same spot that we have every holiday weekend for the past 4 years for me....20+ years for sanddunesaddict. I said you can pull in near us. :2gunsfiring: I am not gonna watch you purposely make a bonzai run into camp just to make it in and then get stuck so we can unhook everything and pull you out. No thanks. That just makes no sense to me. I was merely just giving you a heads up.
  13. Just keep in mind what the rules are here on DDR. You guys can argue all ya want :talk030: and discuss the controversal topic, but we won't tolerate any threats or personal attacks on this board! Can't we all just act like adults? Come on, guys. Raise your mugs up :2gunsfiring: :2gunsfiring:
