    Towing:Weight Distribution

    The trailer tracks straight and true without the bikes and ballast. The bikes cause minimal drag as they're hitch mounted and are essentially blocked by the trailer. As was mentioned previously, I don't believe I need sway control but proper weight distribution. Adding the bikes moved my CG...

    Towing:Weight Distribution

    The trailer now has a spring-over-axle conversion and sits level when loaded/hitched. The 80lbs of water was located inside the trailer at the front-most point to mimic the weight of gear/coolers and the like. The front triangle is loaded with the propane tank and battery leaving no room to...

    Towing:Weight Distribution

    Before havingg the rear hitch installed/carrying the bikes there was no need for anything other than dropping the hitch onto the ball. Literally the trailer tracked straight and true even up to 80. Once adding the weight to the rear, the sway started (Which made sense). I added 80lbs of water...

    Towing:Weight Distribution

    Odd question but figured if anyone knows it's this group. We recently picked up a pop up trailer (1100 lbs dry). We contemplated a roof rack for the trailer to haul our bikes but decided on a hitch mount. When loaded with the bikes/rack (~75lbs in total) on the rear of the trailer there's...

    4runner TRD Pro

    Stopped at my local dealership this weekend and they weren't aware. Salesman mentioned that he's attending training (Camry or the like) on Tuesday and would ask then. I'll post updates (If I get any).

    Discount Tire...

    The Discount in Aurora has mounted and balanced tires for my last 3 trucks without issues. Always polite and remember me when I come in. Bummed to hear you had a bad experience.

    For the serious mountain bikers

    I'm on my second season on the SB-66. It's my 3rd YETI (Previous two were 575's). There is no comparison. The 575 is a great bike but the SB demands to be ridden. Far more active feel and performance. Climbs great and descends as one would expect a YETI to descend. Just installed the XX1...

    Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Question

    You can't go wrong with the Thule T2. It can expand to carry more than 2 bikes and as it mounts by clamping on your front tire and rear wheel it doesn't matter hub type (20mm through axle, standard QR, etc.) or frame design (e.g. interrupted top tube on FS MTB's) road or MTB's. Depending upon...

    Colorado wisdom?

    I missed the post but looks like you're moving to Castle Rock. Having live in Jax and now in CR, you'll enjoy it. No beach but definitely a very cool little town. Gas will come from Black Hills Energy and electric from IREA. Xfinity (Comcast) provides cable and Century Link (formerly...

    Cabin Air filter filthy

    Replaced the air filter in my '85 P/U back in the day and found a handful of dog food inside. Squirrel(s) had been storing it in there I assume. Took me a while to figure out how dog food got in there.

    How do you deal with the dogs and their hair?

    For our Red Heeler we use a foldable crate. Plenty of room for him to move around and keeps most of his shedding contained within it. Added bonus is that it keeps him from running around inside the truck when we have to make a quick stop at the store or the like.

    Aurora, CO - Off Road Ltd.?

    I would go with SLEE. I shopped around on my lift install and although they were a bit more pricey, their service was great.
