Is this trailer a little big??? (joke)
Thought you guys might enjoy this one, found this on the net a while ago. 
He's hooked up and ready to fly!! It's amazing how the extra weight really smoothed out the ride in the truck. He did have to air up the rear tires a bit (around 160 psi)
He added some heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate (note that he used the "Heavy-Duty" 'S' hooks to attach the chain) He also paid-up for some BIG 5/16 sheetmetal screws to attach the frame to the tailgate. Yeah, he knows it's overkill, but he didn't want the possibility of having an accident.
Much of his time was spent on his front porch whittling down that MASSIVE 4"x4" post to fit precisely into the ball mount receiver. Also note that he used a 14" piece of 1"x4" to help distribute the load more evenly-- "YOU CAN"T BE TOO SAFE, YOU KNOW!!". It cost a little more, but you just can't be too safe when pulling a trailer of this magnitude!!".

This guy is a nut case if there ever was one. I hosted a campground for10 years in centeral Utah. this nut came into my campground. He also had a small car hitched on the back of the trailer. Also about 10 kids with him. I thought "oh no this is going to be fun. The camp will be tore up by the time they leave" I was wrong. They were some of the best behaved kids I have ever seen in a campground.
