Photo Shop experts please!
Can someone photo shop it with a 2 seat xp1k on top and 35" tires?
That would be awesome.
Thanks
Aluminum Deck Tie-Downs
Anywho, I was concerned with putting recessed steel/zinc tie downs against the aluminum deck and getting corrosion from dissimilar metals. Had anyone done this? Does it matter? Are there alum. options? The only other thing I could think of was using some RTV gasket maker gunk between the plate/backing plate and the trailer deck?
Thanks All
Flatbed
My wife and I love our current camper and don’t want to get a toy hauler. I also don’t want to pull doubles so I’m thinking about a 4 door flatbed F250 or something with a 12-14′ bed.
Child proof my onan generator button — any suggestions?
I looked for thermostat covers..but the ones i’ve found are just too big… I’m ok even swapping for a different switch altogether that would work too..
thanks in advance

Parked Toy Hauler Now I need A Trailer
Another 1/2 Ton Towable thread
Here are the facts: I’m keeping my ’06 1/2 ton Chevy, looking hard at the eclipse (attitude/stellar/iconic) 19 footers and stuffing a 1000 XP4 in there (God willing). I DO already have a brake controller. I used to tow a 2300FS weekend warrior with 2-3 dirt bikes and filled water tank with this truck. It struggled a little bit on steep climbs, but that was it. Brakes, shifting, trans temp all were fine. I do understand 3 dirt bikes are probably half the weight of a 4 seater, but the 2300fs is substantially heavier than a 19 footer.
This will put me right below my towing limit, and yes, I understand the dangers of towing overloaded and what not. I do understand the dangers and limitations of the truck. Hence these questions:
1) I have 3.42 gears f&r. Should I change these?
2) should I forgo the onboard genny to save any weight and go with a portable?
3) I’m assuming rear airbags are a must here
Let me know what you all think on ways to improve this situation.
(Removing my gas cap and driving a diesel under it is not an option, btw[emoji41])
THANKS
