Wheelin.. and hella carnage. Ball joints suck
Let this be a lesson to anyone who listens when someone yells "hammer down" oh yea, and flat towing.. never do it if you intend on wheelin remotely hard. I had to drive 3 hours to get the trailer, my straps, get ball joints and more tools.
Ball joints suck, thats all there is about it. Also pinched a brake line between the left rear spring perch, broke a u-joint/both shafts friday night, then when the cluster**** below happened i broke the spare shaft.. dunno if the shaft let go then the ball joint or the other way around.
Its time to fix this one, clean it up and sell it. I need a KP 60. The rest of the pics from the trip are uploading, then i'll upload video.
The Chevy towed it great, not bouncy, didn't sway around, had enough power..
And this guys bead, on 16.5s.. we noticed it was flat as he hooked his winch up, and as he was getting the compressor out he was like "well thank god it didn't blow the bead" and about 2 seconds later a little "pffft" and the bead when bye bye
Got new ball joints and lined the trailer up, let it down and drove up slowly.. luckily it went on straight.
and this one's specifically for Zach "i bet its gonna squat like a mother" Moneybags now you can shut up. I had a few hundred pounds of **** in the bed between tools, 2 spare tires, camping stuff, broken crap, cooler..
and there it sits in the driveway.

when the knuckle came off and ripped the brake line off my pedal went to the floor as i rolled back into a tree.
well no, the tail gate was before the knuckle went, i rolled back into a tree on accident.. the tail light and bed side was after the **** hit the fan and i hit the same tree and my front corner light hit the same tree i leaned my door into.
I'm glad this happened, if not there it woulda happened this morning flat towing it home.

well all i heard was a "pop" so i figured eh, axle shaft.. carry on. then i tried again and it made a louder pop.. the truck fell, it started sliding backwards and the brake pedal went to the floor. not really sure "what" i was thinking besides "oh ****"
