I should replace my chains, they are rusty and thin. Thanks for the reminder.
I would need a new pair of shorts after that.
They better buy a lotto & power ball ticket with the luck they have.
I should contact them and see if they are interested in the pull behind my wife is trying to sell...
Make sure you don’t twist your chains to shorten them, it can reduce the breaking strength by more than 75%.
I thought it was required to twist the chains.
Required to cross them.Quote:

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I'll have to get a better set and set it up right. I only have a small utility trailer, but still.
do that. Last thing you need is a trailer coming loose. Throwing a shoddily secured ladder, on the roadway.Quote:

I bought the roll bar that day and never looked back.
Cause the roll bar went where the mirror is supposed to go?Quote:

Pretty quick it dove into the barrow pit and launched into the air toward a line of parked cars on the adjoining street. Heaven must have been looking out for me as the trailer bounced on it's tires and stopped in the street between parked cars. There was no damage except a broken hitch weld and the weak safety chains. I was able to quickly chain it up to my bumper with a tow chain and drive off before anyone including police discovered the mishap. (No way that one could get away with that now when everyone has a cell phone).
The trailer was a neatly made plywood box on an angle iron frame that my grandfather had built. The weld shop I took it to said it was made of bed frame iron. I had it patched up and sold it for $150.
Yeah, I read about that incident the other day. Was thinking that after that, you call up the chain company and offer to do any endorsement they ask of you :P
I'd hop into a music video with 2 Chainz.
This has been making the rounds on all the RV and trucks forums/groups.
Glad they are OK, because some of the jokes are pretty good.
