i was loading up the bog truck for this weekend and right at that point where i see nothing but sky my front tires are back on the ground. Scared the shit out of me. :jaw:
The little metal latch that is suppose to keep the trailer on the ball...yuh, it dont work no more.
Ive been wanting a 5th wheel since..well, since i got THIS trailer..maybe this will be more motivation.

no..no they arent :lol:

i got a new bed to go on the dually so the damage to it isnt too bad (other than now i cant sell the tail gate) but having to cut the old hitch off and weld a new one on is making my wallet hurt.

That sucks. A very similar thing just happened to my brother's truck, loading my motorcycle w/ flat tire onto an open trailer. His ranger how has a huge dent and 3/4" wide strip of paint missing all down the middle.
