    This summer a customer pulled her uhaul box truck in the driveway with her audi on the trailer.

    Well, she could not back it out. She jack knifed it pretty bad. I pulled up and she asked if i could drive a truck with a trailer. I told her yes. That was a pain to get out of that driveway.

    Yeah give those people lots of room because they do not know what they are doing.

    Backing up with a trailer isnt too difficult in my eyes.

    You should see the goobers at camp grounds trying to backup there big ass camper into a spot. Unless they are a seasoned pro, its hours of entertainment

    Or people at boat launches

    ive been complemented for my trailer backing up skills. by the asshole jet ski guys too, who hoard the dock all day long, but also see the boats come and go. a few guys came over and are like you 2 really got this down, you should see what goes on here all day. a lot of the time it was just me and the ex. and most girls are worthless, but i trained this one damn good.

    ive been towing stuff since i was 17. its easy really once you know wtf your doing lol.

    I have been driving with trailers before I had a license. Makes no difference to me if i have to tow a trailer or back it up.

    **** some of the trailors I've towed in the corps are a ***** to back compared to normal trailors. Mainly cause u can't see the thing. And the hitches we use are dumb. The not ball hitches their like a circle and the trailor has a hook that goes in it

    The trailers that dont use a ball are hard to back up. The kind you need a pintle hitch for.

    People are retarded once they figure out that if you cant see the damn trailer behind a HMMWV in the mirror on either side its straight behind you....... Half a brain would figure out the trailer is as wide as the HMMWV.........

    LOL I laugh at people backing up a Sentinel Radar all the time its a little shorter than a 2 place snowmobile trailer behind a HMMWV.

    BTW ball hitches are worthless over rough ground... Hence the pintle style..

    Why is one style harder than the other? Both pivot I don't see how one could be any more complicated than the other....

    At work i have a bunch of short trailers that you cant see that use the pintle style. It is always funny watching new guys back up a trailer they cant see.

    omg the short trailers are the worst, like the jet ski guys, they keep jack knifing it with every turn of the wheel. if pulled a few guys out of the car and backed it in for them. lol

    pintle hitch dont mean crap, backing a trailer is backing up a trailer, you just feel the damn trailer hitch slopping around back there.

    dual axle trailers are much easier to back up too. they dont react as fast as a single axle trailer does. further them wheels are from the hitch the better too.

    I put gas on for 2.94 before my boss changed the gas price to 3.09 . I won 14 gallons .15 cheaper. Love my 9$ a hour at a gas station thats a mile away from my house..

    Oh i bought a new amp for my system instal that in a week or so. 400$ amp from crutchfield/alpine website for 170$ on ebay. Used but if it works like new then who is complaining on not paying taxes and getting it for 250$ cheaper.

    Hey guys. I have a question.
    I recently get low oil level.
    But when I check the stick it has like 5 inch more than full.

    What's going on.

    I sense that it will rub, since you are already lowered.

    What's going on.

    The oil on the dipstick is 5 inches above the full mark???

    If so, you have a serious problem going on. I bet the crankcase is filled with coolant, is the oil a milky color???

    No the oil isn't milky. I don't think there's coolant.
    I did my oil last time and I filled it 5qt

    The oil is dark tho. Even tho it's a synthetic and barely 2 months there.

    I'm sure you are smart enough to do this, but you are cleaning the dipstick off first and then sticking it back in and checking the level right?
