• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    New toy hauler?

    We are happy with the Vengeance 29V a tight fit front to back, but it fits. The vengeance is built in the same Forrest River facilities in Topeka IN as the Grey Wolf. We also have stacked a couple of 2x6's placed them in line with the front tires at the bottom of the ramp to lift the nose of the...

    Hearing aids

    I have a pair from Costco, I pair it to my phone. This allows for navigation, streaming of music and phone calls, all managed through the phone.

    Trailering my Spyder RT?

    Take a look at Classie Chassis for your tow vehicle. http://www.classychassistrucks.com/ They have been around a long time, will understand your requirements, color matched, and be totally set up with hitches. I personally think you are looking at a MDT for a 20,000 lb. pull. Just a thought.

    Trailering my Spyder RT?

    Loading Spyder's into trailers requires a lot of attention to avoid unwanted damage. Especially the first time. When approaching the loading ramp the nose of the Spyder may hit the ramp before the front wheels hit the ramp. A simple solution I and others have used is to attach a 2 ft 2 X 6 on...

    Trailering my Spyder RT?

    Since you are having difficulty finding a stock Toy Hauler for your two spyders take a look at a custom Featherlite Trailer with living quarters. I would vision a loading and stacking system in the rear similar to a Nascar Hauler, and living quarters up front. Check out this Grand Designs unit...

    Interesting Toy Hauler. With the Happijac beds in the upper position you will have the full width to work with. With a little stagier...backing the back one in, they should fit. Make sure it comes with the Patio kit. :coffee::bbq: That unit is a real commitment, a real financial hit, driving...
