It's hard to say what you did best, the truck, the hitch, the trailer, the offroad vehicle or the video. I recently bought a PJ trailer and it is definitely the best made trailer that I have ever owned. More people need to be aware of their hitch weight. A guy recently spun out on a dry, straight four lane road right by my house due to lack of hitch weight and the trailer going wild. He was lucky that nobody was hurt. The only catch to this is as choochooman pointed out so many of us with lesser trucks need a weight distributing hitch. I have been served reasonbly well by simply estimating how much the tow vehicle should drop with the required tongue weight and being sure that it does drop that much before tightening the equalizer bars. Oh, I too need to add a link to my safety chains, at least PJ makes it easy.
Agree whole-heartedly. I was surprised to find that I had a full 1,000 lbs on the ball as I had previously just tugged on the trailer tongue before and said, "Oh, that's probably 500 lbs." It's very cool not to have to guess. And yes, I really do like that trailer and am going to swap it for another one two feet longer. It's not long enough for both the side-by-sides at the same time. I have another shorter one and it has held up very well over 15 years of use.
