June 4-7 Colorado Trip And Bachelor Party

Dammit i meant to ask karl if i could borrow his trailer on sat when i was at his house.

I'll talk to my boss on mon. about time off.

what about finding a gooseneck so that you could split the fuel more ways

i was just thinking pull coop's jeep, and then you can put yours on ed's trailer. Easier for me since coop's jeep is in houston.

[bcolman]

i figured that, but if you pulled two rigs then there would be a spot for john brown's or david o's rig

[jerryg79]

3 things would have to happen for that to occur:

1) I would need definites from two more people
2) I would need someone to find another gooseneck
3) I would have to install a gooseneck hitch.

#3 doesnt occur until 1 and 2 do.

Additionally if i have to pay for a hitch, the two people on the trailer would be fitting the bill for fuel. As it is now I was just going to ask coop to pay over what it would cost for me to go up empty.

2050 miles at 19 mpg vs 10-12ish with all those hills in co. so prob about $100.

[bcolman]

so does that mean that you are for sure towing coop? and if you cant find a trailer in houston i may be able to help with that

[J Cooper]

I bet I can!

so you have no excuse to not be there....

reading through i was going to say... the whole point of me wanting to get on with 2 other vehicles is to split fuel 3-4 ways.

but as long as i do not have to pay for it all my self i am down, it would make since for it to just leave straight from Houston.

we can talk about it more later.

FYI - you know there is a gooseneck in Houston that ya'll could probably use for free... It's actually been up there before too...

I'd so be coming if we didn't already have plans, but would be glad to help everyone else have some fun without me

You da man Scott!!!

I updated the first post. Here's how I see the trailers shaking out....

Ed
Red GN + carhauler
Beast
General
Swamp Donkey

Creighton
Mudgod's GN
Yella Goat
Curry's Yota
Scotti's Buggy

Jerry
Schubing's GN
GrandTheftAuto
Cruizer

JB, I have you up there behind me so I can tug all three of the foolsizes. I may rethink this later after talking with Creighton about it. You have a bumper pull trialer correct? And does it have brakes?

[Doug Krebs]

How the hell does red GN plus a car hauler work?!?

[bcolman]

Yeah, but Ed's is a 32' and I believe Johns is 18', thats 50' of just deck. So figure at least another 6' for both trailers tongues, thats well, interesting...

Edit: That thing has stacks! No way anyone can do this without stacks. Ed's SOL!

The Dmax no needum stacks. Pulling it won't be the problem, stopping is another story. But I will just get this bad boy to remedy that.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I will be a few feet over the 'suggested' maximum length, but I don't see that as a problem.\

Just a note, everyone will need to supply their own binders/straps as I do not have near that many.

Ed
Red GN + carhauler
Beast
General
Swamp Donkey

Creighton
Mudgod's GN
Yella Goat
Curry's Yota
Scotti's Buggy

Jerry
Schubing's GN
GrandTheftAuto
Cruizer

or do it this way, which I think would be better.

Beast
General
Cruizer (or another comparable sized vehicle)

Creighton
Mudgod's GN
Yella Goat
Curry's Yota
Scotti's Buggy

Jerry
Schubing's GN

Swamp Donkey (or the General, which ever would be the easiest to get to H-town for Jerry)
