Matchbox 20, the original, is my all-time favorite. Push is my favorite song by them. Not a fan of the newer stuff.
Train is good also, Meet Virginia is great! YouTube - Train-Meet Virginia


Oingo boingo is so catchy, hard not to turn that one up!! I think the first time I heard it was in the movie "Back to School" with Rodney Dangerfield, 1986.....LOL..I was 7.

Has anyone ever had a trailer sway back and forth crossing nearly 2 lanes of traffic?? I believe Mike did so when pulling Jeremy's truck? What the heck causes that? Yesterday I had to pick up a buddies 6.0 from the dealership.. We loaded her up on a car hauler, and took off. when I got on the the expressway, I got up to 70 and the trailer took off.. All I can say to that was WOW..the trailer brakes were not strong enough to pull her back in line. I just coasted down a bit to recover the trailer ( damn I wanted to hit the brakes ) but what is the right way to recover from that???

By the way.. some of you might remember, this is the friend that bought this 6.0 after me begging him to find a 7.3.. he has now owned this truck for 7 months.. he may have driven it a total of 1 month..

sounds like the trailer was overloaded...or the weight was not loaded properly...


looking at the pic, I'd say it was both!

the trailer will sway if you have more weight over the rear part. you need to have at least 60% of the weight forward of the trailer axles. That can be a VERY dangerous and scary situation. That's why California keeps trailer speed at 55. I've seen guys fly by towing a 30 foot boat at like 70mph, and damn near cause a wreck changing lanes because they think just because you can pull it you can drive it like a car. Not saying that's the case here, but "improper" loading will cause the abovementioned problem.

I like Rise Against! Nice little tidbit - the drummer is from CO; I went on a date with his older sister. Nope, didn't know how to say "Thank you" either... ah well... LOL When we'd go "out running" on the motorcycles we had our MP3 players with stuff like NIN, Rage Against the Machine, and KMFDM on them.... made for some fun runs!

Just catching up and listened to Undead by Hollywood Undead - took me a second to figure it out, but they've blended two of the most popular styles/artists in the past few years - Eminem & Linkin Park. They're pretty good, I'll give them that, but that song just wasn't hard enough for me to really get in to it. LP has some tracks that.... just makes the adrenaline start pumping....

The mask thing.... GWAR did it. Not a big fan. Actually think it's just stupid.

And the best part is they're the typical-looking "modern punk" - skull t-shirts to make them feel hard/tough, and my little sister is packing more muscle than any of them

Rise Against has better energy too IMO. These guys are soft fishbellies trying to be hard..... and it's not working.

Wow that's really cool. I am the first in my family to wrestle. my best friend got me interested in wrestling, now I got my brother(who is 9 years old) into wrestling. Of all the tournaments he's been to his lowest finish was a third I think. I think he has a good chance at bwing a state qualifier, if not a state champion.

Earthroamer is cool, I used to keep up with them in 4wheel and offroad magazine, they have had many cool trucks. You have appearantley found their home base.

Notice how in that pic the rear tires of the truck are lower than the front tires of the truck on the trailer? well you have transfered the center of gravity behind the front axle and the trailer is "skating" on the rear axlewhile at speed. Fix= longer trailer or slower tow speed.

And that is exactly how to recover a sway situation, just coast, and let engine braking slow you down.
