[QUOTE="AnnaBanana, post: 1310461, member: 16428"] Not me towing, but I was part and parcel to it: Swapped my trailer for MaryAnns to go to Team Trophy challenge pre run couple years back. They run a 2" ball I run a 2 5/16", neither of us ever bothered to check the ball size. MaryAnn drove that contraption all the way there. Also her first time with the truck/camper/trailer/jeep configuration. The poor tamers that came to help us unload practically **** a ring round themselves when they saw the configuration and that we came from Monroe to Liberty, needless to say we were sent home on a spare hitch/ball. Good thing I loaded me jeep tongue heavy for that trip. On the way to Elbe for a work party at ass crack o thirty, came down the curve of woods creek road at the Y, hit a patch of ice. Did a 180 and parked it on a blackberry swamp in a large ditch you could say, between 2 telephone poles, ejecting the jeep from the trailer. On the way to the Hangover run up at Tonga ridge on Foss River Road, driving on slush with a tasty layer of rain/frozen rain or ice, basically really slick snotty crap, a club member John was coming back down, with his truck/trailer/jeep back down the road at me because the conditions were too poor to drive on for his rig, another club member in front of me stopped to let him by and ask why he was coming back down, I tapped the breaks to avoid hitting Rudi in front of me, and to stop to give John more room to pass by with his truck and trailer, and lucky me, I slipped right into the ditch and perched there at a nice 45 degree angle - Glendon in the front seat was just screaming DITCH DITCH. Hey buddy it could have been worse, I could have been heading toward the river. Although the jeep stayed on the trailer this time it was a much bigger pain in the ass to recover. Big thanks to to John, Gina, Glendon, Rick, Rudi, Moose, Mary and the people in the Purple Grand Cherokee. Also on the way out fixing the tow rig bead with Jeff & Crash who stopped to assist the motley crew already working on the problem.:awesomework: Word traveled fast on CB that day, and by the time we got up to the group to acutally do some wheeling, they'd given me a new name, saying a trend is emerging.
