He's usually right about 30% of the time. If this mess would just get organized and moving, it would be nice.

Did someone say snacks?

Don't feed him after midnight.

Well, this will be the first long tow for me after I changed out the springs to torsion axles.
They ride sweet and the tire wear seems to be ok...but the folks at Oceanside trailers in Tequesta said that this is the most challenging thing they do. Measure twice. They were most helpful in answering my many questions and I highly recommend them.

Last time I was at the hub, they wanted to sell me 3 G`s worth of parts. After I laughed in "Scooter`s" face, he asked if I wanted to look at new trailers. He then said I am not trying to rip you off. I said do me a favor, spare me the false sincerity you %#&%&@W&%*.

The old man was not pleased and said not a word as I stared him down. I don't recommend them at all anymore. Sad really. Guess that is why they are not busy anymore.

Cheers
GFS

It took me about 4 hours to swap out my springs to torsion. Best thing I ever did. The only thing you have to worry about is curbing them and bending the arm. Never have done it but was warned.

I have a tragic tilt and all their stuff is one off by design. Had to drill some holes here, there, and everywhere. Jesse was a big help as always.
