Looks good! That is going to be me next weekend for a 4 day weekend to the lake! No boat though... I am going scouting for my elk hunt. I pull a 6ft trailer behind my 5th wheel with my dirtbike and the wifeys quad to the desert races here in New Mexico!

Glad you figured out how to post pics! We all love pics!

Eagle Nest lake is where we are staying and scouting just east of there in the Colin Neblett Wildlife Management Area. Got a 5 day rifle hunt there the middle of Oct.

Looks good and looks like you may want to consider a set of airbags to bring that rear up to level.

I had no idea how much better the towing ride and drive could be until I got mine.

agreed, I absolutely love that I have mine. I went with firestone bags. Hopefully next year I will have some wave runner to go behind the trailer as well, will have to see how that all pans out.

Here in Ca. It is illegal to tow two trailers in a row! Just another lame law from all our hippies!

Yeah, the skis are hooked to the fifth wheel. I took this picture before I installed the new Bilsteins. Towed real easy. I am in the process of getting gauges so I can get my dp ordered. I hope that will make the biggest difference. After that I'll probably look at bags. Here in Oklahoma it is not legal to double tow if both are bumper pull. I found that out after we bought a travel trailer and put the tow hitch on the back of it.
Rich, this was in the driveway at the house. We went to Eufaula on this trip. I should try to add some pics of the skis on the water in my album. We had a good time until the blow out on the way home. Did a good bit of damage to the fifth wheel, still haven't taken the time to fix it. I'm gonna replace the tires and then I'll have to do some electrical wiring. It tore the wiring loose that goes into the slide and tore off the supports for the wheel well.

Man, what is up with those stupid trailer tires? In this day and age of technology, give me a break. I am waiting for one on my boat trailer even though they are virtually new. I see it on the side of the road all the time.
