• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    check around with other dealers.. your pricing quotes seem rather high.. try I Motorsports near Chicago.. they had the best price for me and then my local dealer matched theirs so it is very obvious there is a lot of "wiggle" room on the pricing? BIG F

    Titan Trailer - how do I load so the Spyder front end won't catch?

    a real easy solution is to change out the hitch on the truck with one a bit higher and the real end of the trailer will lower!! they make a gazillion hitches to fit into your receiver.. it doesn't take much increase in heigth to lower the trailer back end.. and your trailer will still appear...
