Here's some pics of me keeping up with a bunch of Heeps...
There's a full report here... Only got 'stuck' once, and I wasn't the only one either. I probably could have gotten out on my own if I worked at it a little longer, but everyone was waiting to turn around.

I would love to have some times like that, but we dont have any good mountains up here to do that in... we mostly just year up some corn fields. and yank each other out with skid loaders.
Were you the only non Heep?

Bill, here is my 02 on the hitch, it's a very very good price for a slider and if you are going to use it on your truck with short bed its just what you need. Glenn has one of the best available for his rig and if i towed as much as he does I would have one too. There is another way to get the air ride he has that is less expensive than what Glenn has I think it called Airborne and mounts to the pin box on the trailer, but then that only works for one trailer unless you would want to take the time to change it if towing something else What Glenn is the best for him I think because he dose pull at least two different trailers.
Your 02 is always appreciated Rich! Thanks

Bill, I edited my last post. $200 is a excellent price for a short bed slider hitch.
Rich described it real well. There is also a 'rocker' type hitch that some people confuse with the slider. It will rock side to side and front to back. Helps if you get into some uneven terrain. I went from a solid mount pin box to a Mor/ryde cushion pin box. That helped but this trailer saver hitch I have now I love it so much I locked it down hoping no one would steal it, LOL. This country's infrastructure is getting so bad I felt I had to do something before I had a major break down.

This hitch I got is a slider, and it rocks side to side and back forth. Seems like a pretty good hitch. It's looks brand new. The guy said he only used it three times.
