Joker, let me know if you want to beta test one of our Wycked Hitch Systems.

You Rock Jorge! Father-daughter trips are a real blast. I took Meggie to Sturgis last year and we had a blast! She's already planned our trip for the kick-off of Slingshots Across America. We'll head down to California mid August and then go with the gang from there to Vail Colorado before turning around to come back to start the school year off. Hoping we can meet up with you sometime soon! Thanks for the cudo's and for the posts!

Anyone thought of mounting the fender from the top. I understand that there is a way to mount a hitch to the backend around the licence plate. As I haul my SS around on the trailer and use the tire tie downs the angled supports would get in the way. So the support on the front as all fenders but a vertical single support from the tail light area. Good idea or bad idea?

We're working on a fender that mounts to our hitch receiver. Probably will go with plastic to match the rear underpanels. Any ideas would be appreciated.

So I am aware the Sling Shot was not designed to pull a trailer, but I was just wondering if any of you have tried pulling a small trailer behind you? I have a small 16' jon boat and started thinking that maybe the SS could pull it short distances.

I've been pulling my jet ski and various other trailers while beta testing my hitch system. I have had no issues pulling 800+ lbs, with about 70 lbs tongue weight. I've pulled up and down hill, in town, and on the freeways for over 700 miles. The SlingShot is a pulling machine! No matter which hitch you decide to get, you should have no problem pulling your jon boat.

Don't have either, but the stinger is worth a look. Panels come off in a flash and it offers fantastic sun protection. I need to spend some time under some other tops for a good comparison, though.

I've been looking at the stinger also, wondering how it handles the wind? I really like the fact that the gull wings are quick release.

I was pretty damn butthurt when Hedge kicked me and my brother off of the other site, but I was able to move on ......thanks to my wife and her damn serenity prayer..........grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Hell , it's the wisdom I often struggle with!

A little lesson in humility can do us all good! Hope they learn from this.

I'm sure I will be fine, still laughing at Tripods post.......the shop teacher in me loves the humor , the public school teacher in me has to cringe a bit before laughing out loud !

Just really happy to be a part of this group!

Maybe you all can keep me from getting myself kicked off of this forum in the first month? Still don't know how I did it to myself so quickly? I think my comment to the hog saying "the check was in the mail," didn't help my case much!

I kinda think the "other" forum has developed a warped vision

And here they had me thinking I was the one who was "warped" on that other forum!
