BIGFOOT
Trailer Jacks;Ever cranked a heavy trailer jack by hand?
Even the 2 speed jacks wear you out. Electric
jacks are cheaper, hydraulic jack are faster and made for heavy use.
Bigfoot has a steel oil reservoir

that I see on other brands and the cover stays

The Best Tranny Pans, Differential, and Valve Covers.
PML knows how to keep
you covered! You hear me complaining about oil
capacity on this website constantly. Now I found a way to add 2 or 3 more
quarts of oil to your tranny and differential. The more oil, the more
cooling ability, the longer your truck will stay out of the shop and on the
road! Pulling trailers builds extra heat in your engine, transmission and
axles. You need extra oil capacity and a cover designed for cooling, not the
stamped flat pans and covers truck manufactures buy 100,000 at a time from
the cheapest bidder. It's up to you to give your truck the longest life.

Behind
the Scenes of MrTruck's segments for
Equestrian Nation on RFD TV
If
you go to the National Western Stock show
this month, you'll see a horse trailer on
it's side. Not something you see every day.
Makes it easy to see how the floor and roof
are made. The Cimarron horse trailer is in
Transwest Truck Trailer RV's booth. That
thinking outside the box is why I go to
Transwest to shoot video for my segments.
I've been in many trailer dealerships and
factories around the country and haven't
seen a shop equipped like Transwest. If they
don't have a piece of equipment they need,
Andrew Lyons (General Manager) will build

Do
you need a one ton or
a two ton? One class wins acceleration, the other wins braking;
Starting in
2011, the big three raised the GCWR from 26,000 lbs to 30,000 lbs on 1
ton dually pickup trucks. That's CDL territory, GM quit making
C4500-7500. So they need to rate their 3500 high enough to compete. But
Ram and Ford aren't going to just set in the sidelines.
Each new model pickup truck
year has an increase in towing capacity. What is the limit? Truck
manufactures don't know, they work off demand. The new
SAE trailer towing standards
that start in 2013 will help, but at some point with 20,000 lb plus trailers, you
are going to need a heavy truck with big brakes.More...

Featherlite is the first aluminum trailer I can remember seeing. Back in the
seventies, gooseneck trailers were the new thing. And since 1973,
Featherlite is still ahead of it's time. They stood out then because of the
exceptional quality and uniqueness just as they do today. We are very proud
to haveFeatherlite

GanderLock,
when you're serious about Protecting
your Gooseneck Trailer
and Tack
Protect your trailer
as well as your expensive saddles, bridles,
tools and flat screen TV.
Goosenecks
are different
from bumper pulls, if you just lock the
coupler, the thief's loosen the set bolts,
slide out your adjustable coupler and put
their own back in and away goes your
investment. Think about what happens when
your trailer gets stolen, arguing with
insurance companies, banks and the police.
I've been lucky not to many things stolen,
but when it happens it makes you sick.Read

Ford
Super Duty 2013:
You
wouldn't know there's a recession going on with truck sales this year.
And for 2013, Ford ups the ante with their most luxurious model Super
Duty yet, the
Platinum. I always thought King Ranch was as high as a truck could get
and my favorite. Platinum, like the F150 is about the chrome, chrome on
mirrors, door handles, tailgate and a chrome
perforated mesh in the
horizontal bars in the grill. Bigger nav. screen and

Kodiak Hydraulic Brakes, Quality
and Life Saving Power:
I tow my horse
trailer around the country to horse expo's. Generally folks towing
trailers are more cautious, especially towing horses. But in cities
traffic backs up and even when you try to leave proper stopping distance
in front of you, cars will just fill in the gap. So now what do you do?
On my last trip from Denver to Oklahoma, on I-25 during rush hour, there
was of course an accident, the cars in front of me slammed on their
brakes. So I had to slam on my brakes, and guess what? I could stop as
fast as the cars.Read the rest..
MegaHitch, Trailer Lock, Peace
of Mind in a Box;
In this economy trailer theft is up,
you'd be surprised how fast a stolen trailer becomes a homemade
trailer and re-titled in another state. Thief's are like coyotes,
they adapt fast and look for easy targets. Don't be the easy target.
It's getting common, someone telling me their white stock trailer
was stolen while parked at a sale barn or at a fair grounds equine event.
Desperate times increases the population of desperate criminals and
trailers are an easy target.

Express Corral,
More Room, Easy Setup System
Up in fifteen minutes, down in 10. It's a
nice kit that comes in a diamond deck plate
aluminum storage box. 6 inches wide,
will fit on running boards, fenders or put
it in your trailer or truck. You can use the
aluminum storage box on the ground to power
the electric corral. Very portable, you
could use it to selective graze, night
corral on pasture and fence off trees and
hay stacks when you're not using it with
your trailer to camp on trail rides.
You can hook several Express Corrals
together to camp with lots of horses
separate or together. The posts that come
with the kit are insulated with multiple
clip heights so you can use it with full
size horses to mini's.

Titan
Trailers Ruff Neck Flatbeds make the grade;
I've used flatbed trailers more that any
other type of trailer. Hauled hay, wool,
tractors, buildings etc. When I was in the
custom haying business, I'd put a tractor
with loader hooked to a big round baler on
my flatbed and put up hay all over Colorado.
I like Titan Trailers, made in Kansas with
lots of iron. The Rough Neck's we used in
our "2011 Heavy-Duty Hurt Locker Shootout
Truck Comparison were tested with nearly 10
ton's of bricks, right at the maximum
capacities of the new one tons.

is a magnetic connection, powerful magnets. Just get the male end near
the female plug and "pop" it sucks together. A tab slot align the socket
and plug to match the right connections. The male end has two silicone
o-rings, the cables have sealant injected inside, all to make the system
water proof. If you can keep the water out, you can keep the mud and all
the corrosive chemicals used to dissolve ice on the highway out. Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in
my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights.
