I have the 16k Curt. Been happy with it so far. But that 20k is really nice!

I am gonna look at getting a 5th Airbourne pin box though.

Association has always been free, but the crew qualifications have been

1) rolled a golf cart
2) Have done something which involved fire or explosions
3) Something over the top which involved alcohol.

But as I understand, you now have Team status. Welcome to the fold!

Yeah, I've looked at all of them. I had the 16k slide bar, but didn't like all the clunking in the head, at least in mine. The thing with the air rides, hitches and pin boxes, I've read where "it helped tremendous" to "it helped a little". I want to know I'm going to like it, before I spend my hard earned beer money on it.

I am hoping to get it this year. I have a couple of friends who have them and love them. I need to pay for the strongarms and add an AC 1st so the $$ might not be there this year to do the pin box.

Yeah, I may look at it again after our FL trip. Last year, it was my maiden voyage with it, so I didn't notice things as much. This year I'll be a lot more perceptive to the bounces and such.

Now you are forcing me to put on my FAA hat and explain some things to you:

1. The FAA does not recognize "tail numbers". These are usually used when speaking of military aircraft and usually identify the year that the U.S. contract was released authorizing the building of that aircraft followed by sequential numbers.

2. The FAA does require Nationality and Registration marks to be placed on U.S. registered civil aircraft (ref. Title 14 CFR 45).

3. The FAA defines an aircraft as "a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air." (ref. Title 14 CFR 1).

So your golf carts are not considered to require "tail numbers" because they are not considered to be "U.S. registered aircraft".

So now I will take off my FAA hat and put on my "FAA Consultant" hat and sent you a bill for my services.

MY friend normally that is a top secret device that no one gets info on ....
but since you agreed to never say anything via the 28 page release forms for this top secret phat phrog deal I will let you in .

the eradicater is a 4" pvc tube strategically place next to the 4 foot deep ice chest which holds cases upon cases of beer. for use you take the lid of un said pvc pipe and place your empty beer can in . you do this in order to retrieve a full can from said ice chest.
Now heres the tricky part .... if you must use the eraticater whilst moving down the road you must be quick to shove lid back over said pvc after installing said empty beer can as to not have empty beer can come straight back up like a missile-like projectile as there is negative and positive pressure deals for which I myself don't understand .
If done right said beer can will fall 4' into the basement only to fill a 55 gallon barrel .

Just kinda wondering if y'all have a special beer cooler for camping???? I do we call it the coffin on wheels. She will hold seven cases and forty pounds of ice. Most trips it will eliminate the need for any beer runs!!!!!! May have to send the DW for more ice though!!!!!!
