Might have gotten a good deal. Weld up the tongue... inspected, good to go.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

For all who descided to make fun of this situation.....
It was a good friend of mine, who's trailer broke at the tounge. Cause him to roll his truck 3 times and luckily he is ok.
Sorry for all the inconvenience it may have cause you on your Saturday drive on Deerfoot.

Just so you know he was testing out a trailer that he wanted to buy, and was on his way to Mclean I doubt it it due to lack of experience.

He is lucky he didn't end up seriously hurt or dead. Maybe you should be asking how he is, not how far he ramped it or that chevy's make bad tow vehicles. I am upset with the way you all had to make fun of this.

I think next time maybe you should all find a different topic to make fun of please


Why would anyone here be concerned with how your friend is?

Should we be concerned for every person involved in a motorvehicle accident?

The only thing that concerns me is that there are people out there loading jeeps improperly on junk trailers and having wrecks in the middle of town. Thus making us all look like idiots.

Im glad your friend is ok.

I also hope he has learned how to properly load jeep since the accident, and I hope he learned to take a little harder look at the next trailer he considers buying.

Well the fact that it's up on the jersey barrier and still very much secured to the trailer means it was tied down decently, weither or not it was balanced right is another question. That and even if the weight was spread correctly is that trailer/tongue/reciever rated for that much weight???? Probably not...

is this one of the rules of thumb 

like your winch should be good to pull at least twice your weight of the truck

maybe trailer should be good to carry at least twice the weight of your truck/toy
