When trailering long distances I always remove the outdrives and place them in the back seat of my extended cab S10. It helps distribute the weight more evenly.
I was going to do my trailer brakes this year, but I spent my budget on graphics that match my boat.
Next year I'm getting a reciever style hitch from uHaul. My bumper is starting to bend a little.

Some of you guys don't realize how hard these trucks can work!
I was starting to get a little side to side sway at highway speeds between 80 and 90 MPH while towing the 342. (I try not to push the rig past 90MPH because the MPGs start to suffer). I decided to modify my truck a little for stability. I didn't want to go DRW because inside tires are a PITA to change!

Just got finished updating all the guages. They were a perfect fit. You guys have a link to where I can order bezels (preferably red ones)?

Wow! I had no idea! I'm searching right now on CL to find one of these jewels! My Duramax was getting a little tired so I really need a new tow rig for my 32 Victory. I figure as long as I can find a small shank 2 5/16 ball, it should fit in the bumper hole perfect! I hope I can find one with bucket seats!

Hey stupid, unless you are going to add value to this thread, GTFO. 
I've always learned that the best way to make more HP is to add restriction to an engine, and make it harder to pump air. That thing must be worth a good 5 hp (at the wheels).
I am a family man, so a pickup just won't get it done. Gotta go with an SUV, myself. Plus if I ever upgrade to a gooseneck boat trailer, I will be all set.
