UPDATE: I jut got an email that my title is on its way. It should be here on Monday.

Why two months?

Well they were prompt with a reply. I emailed them last night asking about it and got a response this afternoon. They say no later than next week.

OK, it's been over a month; where is my $50(!) SF-97?

Mine doesn't smoke that much and I'm running four or five gallons of used motor oil in a tank of diesel.

The speedo needle in mine wave at me while I'm driving, then reads anywhere from 5 to 10 MPH too fast. I just look at the GPS on the dash for speed. I can also turn on the K-band radar unit and it'll display my speed. It's one of those repairs that's prioritized so low it'll never get done.

lol you won't get me three hours down the road in my truck. We'd have to do it somewhere closer.

That would be great, however where I was scouting was about three hours to Ocean Shores. We also found a really great spot for camping next summer with the roof-top tent. The road in is already so overgrown I doubt many will drive up there. The scotchbroom was taking over on both sides and...

Drove up into the Olympic Mountains today to scout for our Christmas tree. At one point I spotted a sign on a tree about 500' up the hillside and decided to climb up there and see what it said. Dang. :-( I'm not 13 years old anymore, that was 40 years ago, it wasn't as easy as it used to be...

There always seem to be a few dual axel steerable trailers on the auctions but I never see any on the road. They would probably make good utility trailers for hauling stuff- no tongue issues to deal with. Are they not allowed on the roads? Do they not track well at highway speed?

I hope you realize that the M1009 can pull the trailer, but that's pretty much it. If you load the trailer you'll exceed the tow capacity of the M1009 bumper mounted pintle hook. I pulled mine home today with my M1009 but I also got a riser and pintle to mount on my Hemi Jeep.

$750 Everything is there and everything works. After a 50 mile drive home at 60MPH the hubs were barely lukewarm.

I picked up my auction win from last week.

The pick-up & pull home was uneventful for the most part. I got to the yard and spotted my trailer sitting alone. I dropped the trailer lunette into the pintle and the pintle wouldn't close. Seems my pintle was cocked a little to the left and no matter how I tried to manhandle it into the...

So I ordered these for whenever I need to move the trailer with a load inside. http://www.etrailer.com/p-63014.html http://www.etrailer.com/p-BWPMHD14005.html Serious overkill but what the heck.

My concern is that the cross sectional dimension of the lunette ring (unknown) was too much for whatever pintle I had last time. (NOTE: I will be recovering the trailer using the M1009 but I need to get the Hemi Jeep set up for pulling it when it's loaded) This is the drawing for the pintle...

The fuse box on the firewall is a choke point. Do you have power inside the truck anywhere on the panel? If not can the panel be bad? I've never dived that deep, but it sounds like a choke-point problem.

I think the receiver on the C10 is at least a foot higher than my Grand Cherokee, which I used to tow the last one home. I needed all the rise on the riser plate.

I found some in an Astrovan in the junkyard. Front bolt holes align but had to drill the rear holes. Bonus: armrests. These seats sit up higher than my flattened originals by two inches or so. They also do not slide rearward quiet as far, so they may not work for a taller person. I didn't...

My last one had to be sold because I didn't have any place to put it, but now that we've bought a house I was on the lookout for another. Won one yesterday and will pick up soon. The last time the trailer pintle bound up and twisted the riser plate I had in my jeep receiver. I think the...
