    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    old abe - I would have to ask him I think he had load rated tires but honestly I'm not sure. He's defiantly had it long enough to change tires more than once. So if he did not put something better suited for his needs, that's on him. I hear you and understand. I was just curious. I do strap...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    Uperjim: I have a buddy with a Yukon XL and he has a huge 36' bunkhouse trailer. He refuses to drive on the interstates unless he absolutely has to in the summertime. He pulls on the state roads and yes he has his set up with a standard weight distribution hitch. For him it's a side to side tail...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    Sorry I've been dealing with three family members in the hospital. (Not COVID) the worst is my uncle, that is in the ICU due to open heart surgery. Yesterday he opened his eyes for the first time since the 13th. So things a finally look better but he still has a ways to go. As said above the...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    wisco-mb sorry to hear you had to deal with that. Sounds like overall you were lucky. So did you have your sleds tied down? If so how? Ratchet straps or tie down bars? With all my years on the fire department I've seen a few accidents. One was a horse trailer upside down in a ditch. The horse...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    Yep, so I just went with it. I figure there was more interest in the hualing side of the story. I'm guilty too, but it was my original post. So if it helps someone out so they don't end up like the picture I'm good with it. That was definingly a bad day for those guys. Which could have been...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    So I bought my trailer used, the guy before me was towing with a Class C RV. With that he was using a weight distribution hitch. He included that as part of the deal and I have used it anytime I'm pulling the trailer. Obviously if the trailer is light then I do not need it. I also don't use it...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    I sent this picture to one of my buddies when I finally stopped for lunch driving home Sunday. He said he saw it all over Facebook a couple hours beforehand. I said well that's about the time I was through there.. (12:30EST) Just wondering if anybody had the scoop? Driver and passengers...

    2023 Yamaha Snowmobiles?

    Is it a two-stroke 3 cylinder 900? There was a Yamaha teaser video the other day and the graphics said three cylinder on the side. Just thought that was an odd graphic that I have on the sled and to pan by it with the camera and a teaser video. The chassis did look the same from the sniplet...

    Ski Doo Ace 900 Track Swap

    So I have a sled I been thinking about doing the samething to. I bought it last year for my son and it has studs. Between tearing up the trailer and drive, garage floor, I hate the studs! Knowing he has extra grip for stopping on the trail I'm very undecide on removing the studs...So far I have...

    stay on your side of the trail

    Lost or lost as we know it. Watch any video of someone getting pulled over on YouTube on a sled. No matter how good the interaction is even if the person posting says how nice the cops were. There is always a hand full of them in the comments that are the, "They will never catch me, crowd, that...

    stay on your side of the trail

    I had an oddball situation a few weeks ago. I took my 12 year old for his first trail ride. We were in SW lower MI, just north of Kalamazoo. On the west side was more forest and the east side was more fields... As we were getting back in the fields we come to a road crossing There is a field on...

    Anyone know what this is?

    Need a better picture, but is that a beer tap? It looks like a coil of pipe in the bucket. My guess would be you fill it with Ice and connect it to a keg. You are probably missing a lid too... Just a guess, good luck!

    Winter RV hook-up

    That is great to hear! I was the only one there last March 5 weekend. I parked next to one of the building and there was a 30amp plug in on the Power pole. I have a portable toilet and sink so the basic are handled. For just 2 nights it worked but a few more days a shower would be nice! I have...

    Michigan trail pass question

    Thanks, I've bought multiples for mine and my friends in the past and never thought about it. Since he would be handing it over to someone he did not know I think that is were the unknown came into play. In this case, my friend was catching a hard time for trying to sell it online on Facebook...

My oldest on his first ride with me. His first race, Nelson's Snowmotion. They use to have it at the end of Aug and dig up...
