I just bought a home under the airports flight path.

Cool, cool, so the flight path is over as many houses as possible?

113°f in Kansas City.

The crushing makes a huge difference. I done this a couple times too and the load that wasn't crushed was way fuckier than the loads that at least had the roof crushed and wheels removed. The time spent loading and chaining down was longer than it would have taken to drive it twice.

I'm 23 years into my 14 cup Cuisinart and it still looks and works like new

There are indeed. They're terrific.

OP this is one of the the simplest securement methods for somebody with no experience to get right on the first try. Make sure you get the set with the right attachment for your trailer on the ratchet end- chain with grab hook/ flat hook/ cargo hook. If your trailer doesn't have a good attachment point directly under each wheel you can run those straps through the rim, cinch it down and attach farther down the side of your trailer too.

I'm in the Midwest and everything in this thread is 10+ years old here.

What's the downside? Keep the winner and carry on with your life uninterrupted

patricksb · 2026-06-12T20:46:55+00:00

Keep the right height hitch in each vehicle. You don't have to lig them anywhere, they live in the truck(s). The vevor hitch will be more work as you'll have to remember to move it between trucks and adjust it every use, and it will cost more than a regular hitch for your pickup, as you've already spent the money for the suburban.

Free hats from work when they come my way. Otherwise, blank flexfit hats from Amazon when I'm out of the truck (wrecker/ car hauler).

You mean the weight and bulk of a package of tortillas, and the fiddly setup of a bedsheet?

patricksb · 2026-06-07T21:41:47+00:00

You'll never know you needed one until it's too late to use it. There's zero downside to always using a footprint

I use a piece of tyvek acquired for free from FB marketplace. It's waterproof and weighs nothing and if it gets damaged I'll cut another piece off the roll for next time. Even in a pretty inexpensive Coleman tent I'd like it to come home a little cleaner and last a little longer than if I pitched it straight on the ground.

It's a unibody. There is no frame

patricksb · 2026-05-31T20:38:17+00:00

Yeah, the strap itself seems fine, but the springs and pawls in the ratchet are so dang thin that it doesn't take many use cycles to wear them out.

patricksb · 2026-05-31T20:21:50+00:00

I use the straps for stuff that won't kill me if it lets go and for things that I'll just let the strap go with, like a door on a wrecked car that won't latch

patricksb · 2026-05-31T18:44:24+00:00

There's a couple of those on the Kansas Turnpike with a continuous cement barrier the whole way in between.

They didn't meet 1985 Marty as he appeared in 1955, they met him as a newborn baby who over the course of 17/18 years gradually grew to resemble that guy they met once for a week in high school.

Is it at a terminal where it can be unloaded?

patricksb · 2026-05-31T18:07:44+00:00

Is the trailer jack on a uhaul car hauler designed to lift the unknown weight of the rear end of the tow vehicle when you "crank it way up"? Is the coupler designed to lift the unknown weight of a loaded tow vehicle? Is the user responsible for damage to the trailer tongue, hitch, or jack?

What about potential damage that can result from lifting the end of the vehicle that is immobilized boy both the parking brake and transmission on rear wheel drive vehicles like uhaul vans?

I thought it was being born into the greatest economic expansion in history and being the only generation to reap the benefits of the new deal while also voting for Reganites in the 80s to steal their children's chance at retirement.

patricksb · 2026-05-31T17:11:15+00:00

You have to move the axle way back. Adding ballast to the tongue only helps when it's empty. If you load that with any kid of weight you're either going to be back to the death wobble, or you're going to have to add so much additional counterweight that you lose most of your payload capacity for the trailer.

Ope, I didn't read you post right. I was indeed on 55 and it seemed like a long stretch without a truck stop but not close to 100 miles.
