Something about the wheelbase on these SUVs is just great in the sand. Went out 4wheeling and loaded the car hauler with 3 little quads (One was dropped off at its house before I snapped the pic). Made my buddy with the 408 5 speed Denali drive because where we ride the parking lot is a bottomless sandpit. It didn't break a sweat pulling the trailer right past a stuck f250 and a Tacoma that was framed. It did decide to break one of the tailpipes off during a section of whoops but, he's needed to redo the exhaust for a while.

All in all, it was a good trip everybody's necks are still intact and nothing major broke.

@Tonyrodz The PPV caps didn't come off and they went through some serious shit and several miles of washboard road.

Nice. You didn't use any of the spacers with the bolts?

No clue. Guess to keep the cap elevated off the rim?

Maybe it was only on specific models that have longer hubs that would have made contact if they were not spaced. My trailer had that issue but was solved with wheel spacers which it needed no matter what due to the backspacing and wider tires contacting the deck.
To space duh.:chair:

I would have never come to that conclusion.

I know you're not in Texas, but Florida is closer to Texas then NJ! Believe me--you'll like them :D. I did pay $50 for mine used--but they were brand new.View attachment 275411

If mine was any other color I would have gotten them already. I think I might do some bright Chrome ones because I need more chrooommmeeee!!!!! :joke:
