[Tony M]

OK ! How was your ride this week end ? "pics"

[redhotsommer]

I went up to Kalamazoo for a test run on Friday...snow was over a foot deep up there.

[Magic Medicine]

OK ! How was your ride this week end ? "pics"

Caddy was great there was at least 2' of snow on the ground. No pics. It was an expensive trip. My tailight stopped working its all leds, $100 dollar part from yamaha. Going to test it today at work. Gaga hit a cinder block with his sled and bent his a arm, he also realized that after market 4 stroke exhaust is not for him , sled going back to stock. To top things off, I lost a bearing on the trailer about 3 miles from my exit, trailer tire went bouncing down the expressway! It was a fun but, expensive weekend!

Family Christmas party for me. You aren't going to find rideable snow unless you drive 2-1/2 or 3 hours one way...that's a LOT for a day trip...

You have to drive 3 hours north to get good snow, warm temps sat sun and mon ruined anything less. Remember when there is snow on the ground head up, no excuses

[redhotsommer]

Thankfully, we know a guy that can wire up a 7-round harness and brake-controller in a hurry! I've only got a flat-4 on my truck, and BZ has that fancy-dancy trailer with brakes and everything...so I'm upgrading.

Thanks in advance Big D!

Hey not all of us kids are candy asses! I do about 250 miles a day in the rig, but its all thru the city traffic...Damn 4 wheelers in the way all day! Not sure if I would be able to do it in some of those dinosaurs you and Tony drove back in the day....talk about a rough ride! :driving:

Mike, if you didnt wanna flip the dough for a brake controller, We can prob pull mine out and stick it in yours. They just plug into a socket under the dash...no splicing. Assuming your 99 is the same as my 04. Then again, not sure what big D is gonna have to do considering they ripped your factory stuff out :eek:

Your hitch reciever is a true class V. Not the crap they install on from ford. When i get my old school dually thats whats goin on it.

[OBNOXUS]

Im going to pick up a new design tomorrow,,,,, hoping they have a plug in harness for him as well.

Gonna swap out BZ's next year to,,,, huge difference in control with his controller, and the new one I just put in my dually.

Downside is it looks like he needs to be rewired to the back of the truck !!!!

[redhotsommer]

I pulled the Fontaine all the way home from LOTO with no brakes.

[OBNOXUS]

I can see that,,,, what does that boat weight,,,,2,000-3,000 lbs !!!?? :)

[MILD THUNDER]

I used to pull my 40' excalibur to burnham harbor ramp. Brakes were well, non existant. Brake system was vacuum over hydraulic.Yep, two jumbo rubber vacuum hosed you attached near the hitch provided the truck was setup with that. Trailer had a huge air tank/vacuum canister mounted inside the frame rails. Then there was a big brake booster and master cylinder on the trailer. I actaully read they were a good setup in the 80's.

I'd like to try a different electric controller. I have a "hoppy" brand now. Bbob about smacked his chest off the steering wheel when first pulling his cig with my setup. I had the gain all the way up as my boat trailer brakes were in need of adjustment bad. I dont know diddly bout them other than some are inertia activated and some are ???? something else. I thought i remember something about the tekonsha prodigy ones that were good a few years back.

[scarrab30]

Tekonsha prodigy is still a good unit. Why do ya need brakes? They don't make it go any faster!

[scarrab30]

Dennis, Post 80; good one. do ya think ya might have hurt is feeeeellin's?

[redhotsommer]

Well...yes...yes he did hurt my feelings. I softly cried myself to sleep last night accompanied by thoughts of the lighter weight of my boat.

[OBNOXUS]

Dennis, Post 80; good one. do ya think ya might have hurt is feeeeellin's?

No more then I hurt yours when I told you, you wernt allowed to gelcoat your own boat !!! :sifone:

And cmon,,,,, does he really listen to what I say anyway !!!!!!!?????? :)

It must be true though,,,,, running across the lake with the guy,,,,, all I ever see is the bottom of his boat !!!!! :willy_nilly:

Well...yes...yes he did hurt my feelings. I softly cried myself to sleep last night accompanied by thoughts of the lighter weight of my boat.
