One of those days..

[RiverDave]

So I picked up my vending trailer from first class Rv the other day.. hooked it all up locked on the ball etc.. and half way down mcculloch I feel a pretty good bang.. I’m pretty close to my house so I grab a handful of trailer break and turn on to my side street.. sure as shit, it popped off.

Bent the jack all to shit, damaged the bumper etc..

The pin was too small in the lock and allowed it so slide back and come off..

 

[RiverDave]

Took it over to adrenaline, they put a new coupler, new diamond plate, new jack, new everything..

Came out nice! New jack has the remote control so you can back up and lower it on the ball etc.. (same jack I put on all my trailers)

Bill was under 2k for all of it.

 

[79 HUSTLER]

Time to trade the truck in.

 

[RiverDave]

So now we have to address the truck.. every year I take my truck to bodyline on Acoma and they go through and take any dents, scratches etc out of it..

I had a neighbors house being built and when they stucco’d the house a bunch of it ended up on my truck, and it more or less embedded in the paint and kinda ate it away?

Then some asshole on an e bike hit my fender

Plus the new rear bumper and the usual little scratches from kids and there back packs etc..

Truck goes in a couple weeks from now when we leave for our annual Rv trip..

When I get it back though it will look brand new. It is surprisingly affordable to have this done, so if your car or truck is looking a little “blah” give Justin a call +1 (928) 208-7516

Total bill should be under 1500 bucks.. that’s with repainting the fender etc..

Blasphemy.. I love my truck!

 

[Mandelon]

Was your ball too small, or did it just not clip in properly?

 

[RiverDave]

That little pen in the last picture was too small

 

[lbhsbz]

It's one of those 2 things....

I've never used a lock pin or lock when towing (they have a latch build into them that requires releasing in order to open the tongue) and never had a tongue come off the ball, but I use the correct sized ball and keep the mechanism on the trailer adjusted correctly.

Maybe needs a bit of hawk tuah to get the tongue to slide over the ball the rest of way?

 

[brianwhiteboy]

Did you throw the E-bike in a dumpster?

 

[Flying_Lavey]

That little pen in the last picture was too small

Doesnt seem right that a 1/4" of play at most in the bail latch would allow the coupler to jump off the ball. Unless you had it on the 2" ball instead of the 2-5/8" ball. AKA forgot to flip it over after towing the boat last time.....

Damn this sounds too good to be true. Does $1500 even get you a full exterior detail with paint correction these days?

 

[NicPaus]

I have that same coupler on at least 6 trailers. That pin had nothing to do with it.

 

[dread Pirate]

I believe the tongue was hung up on top of the ball myself. I had one that got bent and was a bitch to get to latch under. Finally sucked it up and had the coupler replaced.

Not for u it doesn't........but then again yore not..... river fukin dave....haha

 

[Dunerking]

That’s some bullshit by the stucco crew for at least not taking some plastic and cover your vehicles.

 

[azsunfun]

days not over dave.

 

[SoCalDave]

This^^^

 

[SoCalDave]

As mentioned above one of two things cost you $2k...wrong size ball or not seated when attached.

 

[bonesfab]

If he had a f150 it wouldn't have happened..

After I put it back on, I locked it and tried it again and it popped right off with the jack.. Other than my mini's I don't own anything with a 2 inch ball.

The coupler may have been old and worn out.. Either way it got replaced.

Should be 2 5/16" not 2 5/8"


And yes it had nothing to do with that pin. I have used a 16p nail bent over and never a problem. The ball was to small or not hooked up correctly, the latch not adjusted correctly

I'm not sure what ya want me to tell ya.. It was the right ball.. I put it back on and tested it and it popped right back off. Hence the replacement of the coupler when It was down there. LOL

The coupler is adjustable

 

[RiverDave]

Truck has to be clean when you drop it off.. and I didn't say that was the "RFD" price..

RD

 

[RiverDave]

Well maybe it was out of adjustment.. Either way she gone now..

Shit, thats what I meant.

Or a Chevrolet.

I told you the other night these fuckin ebikers are gonna ruin it for everyone

 

[Badchoices03]

I am just here to say, it wasnt the pin that caused it to pop off.....LOL

 

[Sleek-Jet]

So none of the pictures in this thread are loading for me... One of those days indeed.

 

[LazyLavey]

Just need a new prop

 

[ChrisV]

Shit happens.

Working fine for me.. things will get better hopefully in the next couple of days

Sux. when shit happens......

 

[dread Pirate]

Could have been worse. Fortunately you're River Fukin Dave and were able to get it handled.

Now you have an excuse to get a real bumper!

 

[JFMFG]

Dude the E Bikers are ruthless. We have them but only ride on motorhome trips or at the beach. There are people in my neighborhood that ride those things and don’t even stop to cross a street full throttle no fucks to give if a cars coming

I’m thinking that’s either homie deal price or maybe he wishes it into existence for that price and just says look bro I already listed it should be …..

my guy charges 1000 to paint match a single bumper.

Dave ask Justin how much to re paint hood and roof on my sons truck.

 

[HST4ME]

Time to trade the truck in.

Ur telling me. I didn’t get the work done.

 

[Wedgy]

Thanks Boss, I feel soo much better now.
Tally so far for the not a tornado the hit us Hard on 5-29-24:

I guess the good news is the SeaRay has a new home up Amarillo way, figured it was time. Kicking myself every damn day now. I use 2 walking sticks now, they want me in a Walker, and keep telling me to, "Stop Resisting." Had that boat for 21 years. Thinking Bass boat.

I keep remembering the guy who bought it in the Boat Yard in Pt Loma, missed a step. RIP.

The Mexican Dodge '14 Reg Cab Sharty? Might be a total. Ugh. ''96 EXT Cargo/ R&R Windshield, "Safelite Repair, Safelite Replace;" $304. Happy with that. Needs a hood. 50 hail dents. No Biggie. It's the new Dogvan 2.0! Monster 5.7. Love me some SBC. BBC too!
Plus, drive trash around to the alley in it, so not replacing $250 tires from punctures.

House needs a new Roof. Never seen so many Roofers in my entire life.
I went with IMO, the Best. Depreciation/ACV killed that payout. See what FEMA says. LOL.

The 1990 7.4 G30 EXT must have thicker sheet metal. And glass. Zero damage.

$ 69 per Sq ft here, gets you on the back end... Money, is just a tool. G'day! Dominate Boys!

15-1600 for the roof and the hood.

Maybe talk to Justin because I don’t think it would be that much.. probably half that?

 

[angiebaby]

They do good work over there at BodyLine. Those are the folks who fixed the front clip of our motorhome after the neighbor backed into it.

 

[Englewood]

I had the same thing happen right after I got my 22 f250. $1500!!!
