    M416b ready to roll $$3750

    Nice trailer. How much weight can the receiver support? Do you think it could carry a lightweight motorcycle (350 pounds) across the cargo tray with wood reinforcement to match the lip height and a track/carrier to hold the bike?

    Jaleo 2- Building a 2012 E-350 4x4-Third time is the charm

    Looks like a great trip and awesome photos. Sorry to hear about your trans woes. Glad you made it home. I broke down in NC in the spring and ended up with a new engine. I have now rebuilt the rear end, rebuilt the trans, rebuilt the TC, installed a new Jasper reman engine, etc. I am not...

    [SOLD]Custom Off-Road AeroTow Overlanding Trailer ($4000 base $6000 Loaded)

    Thanks. Roger on weight. I figured some counterweight might be needed if carrying something a bit heavier on the rear receiver. Understand bikes no problem. I really want something I can carry my Vespa with, about 350 pounds. I was wondering if it would be possible with a Versahaul on the...

    GM fullsize AWD Van Info thread

    If you have AWD, traction control, limited slip, etc. I believe the recommendation is to replace all tires. For limited slip, at least both tires on that axle. I am not real familiar with the AWD system on your van. For my auto lock G80 axle, in your situation, I would replace both tires and...
