Ok, which one of you guys came up with this?

[BigPapa]

There was something wrong with the website last night. You could type a reply and hit the post button and it would just sit there. It actually posted but we didn’t know it and hit the button again causing the double posts.

Guys, I’m not a GN or 5 wheel guy. What size ball should that trailer take? That thingamajig slug ball setup can’t be bigger than 2 5/16.

Goose neck balls are 2 5/16”.

I sure wish I had some pics of some of the things one of my neighbors has done.. Let's just say he is very entertaining!

When he bought a nail gun - it was great. If 2 nails were required, 15 were better! - no joke!
Air filters - only caused a restriction and the engine ran better w/o it.
Oil - he showed my son the oil on his zero turn mower. The neighbor said he was impressed with how clean the oil was and it was the original oil (owned for 3 years).
I could go on....

I'd guess that mwilson designed it and JR built it - approved by Jim W.

Guessing it was one of those "double dog dare you" moments.

At least it has safety chains!

Hey it is a "CHEVY" according to the posters over on IVR2 it should work because it is a "CHEVY".

Dan, the safety chains are not being used on the "CHEVY" they would be required to be used if it was a "FORD".

Sometimes this is true. I used to race sleds on water on the summer. At one event, a guy I knew showed up with his sled to race in the 700 stock class. His sled had major head work done to it that you could not tell by looking at it, but I knew the guy who did the work. I was running my off the showroom floor 700, completely stock. Each rider had three runs. The first two runs he beat me by 1 mph. For my third run, I removed my air box. His third run was consistent with his first two passes. My third run I beat him by 4 mph.

Of course its true...they just run "better" for a shorter period of time !!! LOL

Very true! I actually rejetted and ran it without the air box for 20-25 races a summer for three summers with no problems. I hardly ever lost with that sled. When I did lose, it was always something I did wrong. That was back from ‘99-‘01. I still ride that sled today, never been rebuilt.

This setup looks like a great way for popping a wheelie if you load the trailer correctly. I have seen a couple homemade trailer rigs that were goosenecks with really long drop couplers on them so they could reach the receiver hitch. One was loaded heavy, poor pickup pulling it was running up a steep hill and I got to watch the driver slide and hop it around a turn. Glad I was behind it, not in front of it.

It’s not just the Chevy’s. At least his welds seem ok

Needs a caster wheel on that thing.

One minor problem with the chains Dan...………..They aren't connected.

Ummm - yea - but....is anything else about this "good"?!?

Zip ties would be over doing it. A lot of thought and effort have already been expended.

Here's your sign.(comes to mind)

Without duct I don’t see this working.

Coop,
It's over engineered already.

Goose neck balls are 2 5/16”.

Except for the 3” gooseneck balls.

I stand corrected. Thank you, GS.

I stand corrected. Thank you, GS.

GS is a "BIG BALLER"

Well balanced.

With a username like that.....

 

[TFucili]

Might as well side unload, and get the full effect.

Well balanced.

You can tell he's a long time Ford owner, he has a bicycle at the ready to get himself home when the truck breaks down
