Thought you guys might enjoy this one, found this on the net a while ago.






He's hooked up and ready to fly!! It's amazing how the extra weight really smoothed out the ride in the truck. He did have to air up the rear tires a bit (around 160 psi)

He added some heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate (note that he used the "Heavy-Duty" 'S' hooks to attach the chain) He also paid-up for some BIG 5/16 sheetmetal screws to attach the frame to the tailgate. Yeah, he knows it's overkill, but he didn't want the possibility of having an accident.

Much of his time was spent on his front porch whittling down that MASSIVE 4"x4" post to fit precisely into the ball mount receiver. Also note that he used a 14" piece of 1"x4" to help distribute the load more evenly-- "YOU CAN"T BE TOO SAFE, YOU KNOW!!". It cost a little more, but you just can't be too safe when pulling a trailer of this magnitude!!".

 

Oh lordy................ just goes to show what some people will do

 

would a pair airbags help? also could this be done on a smartcar with the std. transmission ? lol

 

I saw those pics about 6 months ago... Notice the *heavy duty* S-hooks he used on that 'heavy duty chain?'

Amazing he didn't kill anyone LOL!!

I like the block of 4X4 attached to the hitch to support the tail gate....
lol

 

what the f ck was that crazy a$$

 

I always get a good laugh when I see that. I just dont see how when he was rigging all that together he kept thinking it was a good idea

 

It was actually well thought out...yankee ingenuity at its finest!

 

Can you really air up a tire to 160psi? Kinda scary...I would think it would blow up in your face.

 

Don't Know?? i wouldn't try it!!

thats just the text i found with the pics online

 

This guy is a nut case if there ever was one. I hosted a campground for10 years in centeral Utah. this nut came into my campground. He also had a small car hitched on the back of the trailer. Also about 10 kids with him. I thought "oh no this is going to be fun. The camp will be tore up by the time they leave" I was wrong. They were some of the best behaved kids I have ever seen in a campground.

 

and his plates are from utah... hope I never see that going down the road. His front wheels look as if they are almost off the ground ...I bet it was a bitch to steer and stop...
