Sorry Chris, I keep messing this up. I appreciate your help. Anyway, I don't think this is a good idea.

No biggie sorry about not sending the PM, I found out I sent it to myself :D that is why you didn't get it.  I just thought I CC'd you...

BTW, WHAT was that guy thinking?  I like the added 4x4 for tailgate support.

Thanks Chris. For some reason my hands were not doiung what my brain was telling the to do, but I finally got it straight. and yeah, I think an extension on the hitch would be safer than the tailgate.

All they need is one of those 4" casters mounted under the hitch then hit the big road.  ::)

I saw a man carry a 24' ladder one day on a motorcycle. Put his head through the middle rung & rope tied f/r and off he went.

Hang him !!!    (Judge Roy Bean)  Looters will be shot on site !!!

I don't know, I did see an 80's station wagon with the back part of the roof cut off with a gooseneck trailer tied to it. and it was going down the road.......I went the other way.

Survival of the fittest ;D This is nature's way of eliminating the dead wood, so to speak. Let's just hope people around this guy look up from their cell phones long enough to see him coming and get out of the way.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
