Re: TC + extended hitch
bkenobi, If you do opt to use the TL hitch, and want to use an extension in the future, you would want to get the hitch for nuse with the tie downs that utilize the tie down extension with the hitch, rather than frame work brackets. As far as the TL hitch/tiedown/extension--TL is second to none! There is a short vidieo or picture out there somewhere of a truck and camper that got into a roll over situation, and the truck camper remained tied to the truck. While we consider price versus build, I beleive you get what you pay for, and not an enthusiast of risk management building. Always better to overbuild, than underbuild. TL tests there equipment that they sell, and recently were able to uprate their magnum hitch to 30K tow rating through DOT testing. Call them and ask.371Views0likes0CommentsRe: Front receiver
Bodiak is alive and well, I purchased mine from them a while back and carry my spare tire (dually) on it, plus it helps with launching the boat without removing the camper. Best way to get them is through e-mail. I may have spoke too soon, their website is "down for maint"279Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rough ride with Timbrens and Rancho 9000xls

It didn't ride bad or sway badly, but I thought that this would help for stability. And they do! No sway or roll, however now it seems the truck rides like a washboard over the smallest bumps like it never did before. Is this overkill? Should I readjust the rancho shocks to a lower number? I have them on nine before the Timbrens and did not change the setting. Have any of you experienced this issue? The freeways through Pasadena and Glendale were shear torture for the first time ever! The bouncing and jarring over the smallest bumps in the road has become really annoying. Thanks for any help or insight you can provide. Dak Yes, adjust the 9000's down, if they are as rigid as you say they are, you could, over time, do damage. Shocks are there to arrest movement, not stop it, might try starting in the middle, drive around town, then readjust and try it again. Let the timbrens do the work.585Views0likes0CommentsRe: charging system problem

Dave When you checked for 12+ at the 7 pin, did you check the 12- at the cord, or to a chassis item---like the bumper of the truck? It is alo possible you lost the ground-----but if this is the case, the running lights won't work.360Views0likes0Comments
