Who needs a truck? Note the extra safety chain with S hooks on the tailgate.

Did you notice the block of wood on the hitch under the tailgate

The "5th wheel" photo series has been around for a few years now. I first saw it under the heading "why do bad things happen to good people?" discussing what was going to happen when he towed that in mountainous Utah (where the the mini-SUV license plate says it is from). Scary.

I think he needs to tell his wife she's too heavy to use that front bunk.

sad part is, you see he bolted the rails there and this was obvious a planned journey.. not a roadside emergency fix..

My 24' fiberglass extension ladder was a roadway score. It was so new it still had one of the little factory tags around rungs on the slider and fixed portions.

If there is an upside, that's it. I have found lots of good stuff on the interstate over the years. Lots of plywood, tools, good steel, etc.


One thing I haven't seen here is any photos of someone pulling a (too tall) travel trailer that either took down a gas station canopy or perhaps just ripped the air conditioning unit off the trailer.

Something tells me that this guy's insurance premium is much higher now than it was before his misadventure in the bank drive thru.

Wow, that's priceless. The guy can never live that down.

I hope he didn't have family in the back seat; his truck cab really took a beating.

Is there any backstory to this? It looks like the cab got crushed pretty bad. Any fatalities?

No one was hurt. I found (at the time) pictures of the truck. The roof barely caught the side of the truck. Looks terrible but in reality it just pealed the side of the truck. I don't think the windshield was even busted. The camper corner caught the edge of the roof.

Sweet:laughing:

I see guys towing small trailers with Shelby Cobra kit cars. They are headed to an autocross and are hauling their racing tires.

that looks like a frame mount reciever.. as long as he stays under his tow rating? 1000/2000 #? That should be fine and legal. You know. a sheet or 2 of plywood, some garbage cans. Even a lawnmower and weed eater.. etc.

It's not like it's one of those 'chain around the bumper' lock on jobs.....
