Not such a good recovery for someone

[jeepin]

Be careful out there...somebody had to abort their recovery...probably that trailer is a little small, behind a 1/2 truck.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Haha!









That sucks, sorry for laughing.

I saw this one on my way to Montpelier, I had my pintle hook on my durango but good sense got the better of me.

 

[KsM715]

Whats the story? What happened?

 

[emmado22]

I'll bet that genset WAY overloads that truck.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Pretty sure the genset's trailer alone overloaded the truck.

 

[uscgmatt]

I'll bet that genset WAY overloads that truck.

And probably the trailer.

 

[topo]

I would guess the generator set to far back on the trailer because of the fenders on trailer won't let the duels roll any farther ahead and the weight worked the hitch off of the ball on the truck from the constant up ward pressure ?

 

[Bob H]

Truck? What truck?

 

[topo]

You are right Suv

 

[wsucougarx]

Truck? What truck?

I was thinking the same thing. I see a civic with a lift kit myself

 

[O.D. Fever]

Live and learn, would have done better with a pintel and saved the weight of the trailer.

Live and learn, would have done better with a pintel and saved the weight of the trailer.

At least with the civie trailer he had trailer brakes. If he would have tried to pintel tow it to save the trailer weight he would have still been screwed trying to STOP it.

That's what happens when you try to tow a big ole trailer with a Pinto.

Sooo, does that mean it has twice the normal towing features?

I don't know what use it would have but I really think the M200 with fenders is super cool.

Fire Chief needs a new tailgate.

 

[joediveguy]

ouch!

Ditto
And with the weight being that far back on the trailer I'll bet it became a case of the tail wagging the dog

Let he without MV recovery horror stories of his own cast the first stone.
