Re: Help me convince the parents they need airbags

Smoke...nice set-up there with the Jeep...what no 5'er and boat? LOL!

I travel for construction work and use the jeep to commute and keep my dually off of the job site

If I thought I could get away with it I would happily add a boat to the mix but somehow I think I would be a HUGE cop magnet LOL

I may eventually go to a big toyhauler and put the jeep inside so I can tow a boat w me tho

Do it! :joyous:

In Missouri I think max overall length is 65'. I have a friend whose parents had a Prevost bus, towing a double stacker enclosed car hauler and an open car hauler behind that. Total length of 91'. Never got a ticket that I know of, not sure if he had some special licensing though. They race jet trucks at airshows for a living and have all kinds of crazy stuff. Walking into their shop is a whole other level of an adult playground.

Re: Help me convince the parents they need airbags

I'll just pipe in and say that all of the suv's I've ever owned, my previous minivan and even one of my car's have had the airbags with the built in compressor that auto adjusts automatically. GM's been using them for almost 2 decades. They are fantastic when towing my boat or snowmobiles trailer with heavy tongue weight and have only ever had them get old and need to be replaced on the minivan after 100k miles.
I see squatted down suv's and trucks as the rule not the exception all summer long if they have traditional springs.
