Nice rig, but that does not look like a Jayco Eagle 314 BDS. Time to proudly update your signature!

Finally got to pick it up last Friday!

Hi dwulff, I had my other half answer your PM you sent about this, but here's the answer here in case anybody else is curious:

"The trailer dealer set me up with a EAZ Lift 1000lb hitch with a sway control bar. They set me up when I took delivery of the trailer and the tension bars with chains were only hooked up to a single chain link (the top/first) resulting in the bars to hang very low. I think this was the main reason for the sway I was experiencing, mainly because without those tension bars properly setup it was essentially like towing the trailer with only a hitch ball and no weight distribution. My trailer is out of state right now but when I get it back I'm going to try getting the tension bars hooked up to the 2nd or 3rd chain link on each side to the bars are more parallel to the truck and trailer and tighten up my sway control bar tighter than it was initially and hope this improves the situation. Another thing I'd recommend, if you haven't already, is to get E rated tires put on the truck. The stock Pirelli Scorpions that came on the truck aren't rated for towing such heavy loads and were extremely squishy when I first towed on them. I replaced them and didn't have the same squishy feeling of the tires. I replaced them with Hankook Dynapro's. The truck doesn't ride like a cadillac now but that's the trade off for having safer tires. Until I get my trailer back I'm not sure if this is going to improve significantly or not - if not I'll have to consider looking at new trucks but since the F150 is pretty much brand new I'm going to end up taking a loss on if I end up trading sooner than later. Hope this helps."

I just got a new truck, picture taken at Johnson Valley Res (near Fish lake Utah).

That Is a nice looking rig. Does the new Ram have the new Aisin Heavy Duty transmission with the 850 lbs ft of torque, or the normal 68re tranny?

Aisin with 850 torque = yes! I love it! It also has 4:10 gearing in the rear end.

Very jealous here! I have been looking online and drooling. I am thinking I may have to wait until the 2014s come out though.

Here is the 'new to us toy hauler' that I bought for my son and I to take hunting. The quad will fit nicely and we will stay much more comfortable this year! Of course, have to do an axle flip so I can get it in and out of the property.:)

New to me Hauler, Victory Lane 26SRV. We liked that it was no longer than our 27ft OAL travel trailer when hooked to the truck. It'll run empty most trips but will haul dual sports, quads (to the dunes) and maybe a Roadstar from time to time.





It was a little dated looking inside but we have been recovering upholstery, redoing carpet and making other upgrades to keep us from spending 50k on a new one :)

That's a cool setup. How long are the ramps needed to put the ATV up there?

This is my setup. Allows us to have a 5th wheel for living without the garage, and yet take my ATV with us also.
