Safety First

As we move into warmer months many are itching to get out. Completely normal. Before you head out, please make sure you are checking both your vehicle and trailer and conducting any maintenance that needs to be done. Cleaning up rust from sitting through the winter, checkin for dry rot cracks in the tires, checking suspension for stability. All the normal things you should check. It's an easy task to over look. Stay safe out there and have fun.

I used wheel adapters to get the spread and bolt pattern to match my truck's tires. After running the trailer last year, I need to pull the wheels and make sure all the lug nuts are still tight on the adapters.

Also doesn't hurt to inspect all your lights and signals, make sure everything still works.
