Do you at least have a brake controller on your 4Runner and trailer brakes???

2000 Four Winns Horizon 180 with the 5.0 Liter. I converted to the 7 way RV style plug to accomidate the reverse cutoff for the trailer disc brakes.

One is a 93 Waverunner Pro VXR and the other is a 94 Waveblaster. Both are 700s

I really enjoy the 2 stroke sit downs, you can't get em except in a rare few models.

Wish I could afford a big new model though.....would suck having to change oil though.

I actually live in Atlanta too. I've never seen your truck around. What part of part Atlanta are you in? And what lake are you at?? I'm over at Lake Martin in Alabama.

I plan on towing my Jeep CJ to Colorado next summer with the Sequoia. The 4runner is to small for the family, and the Sequoia is too expensive and big for the trails.

I use mine to tow Fords off the trails But seriously, I use mine to launch a 21 foot bayliner...in 4 wheel LOW, and only the 50-60 feet that it takes to make it down the launch.

most i've tow'n (us yota owners are allowed to make up words, right?) is a small covered trailer with a grizzly 660, my xr250, and a wr250. trailer didn't have brakes and I didn't have problems... maybe 2500 lbs max...

anyone think i'll have a problem (other than loading/unloading) hauling a 750lb engine in the back of my runner? I don't want to crush the floor...all iron 440's...gotta love 'em

You nailed it right on the head! Yeah my Chaparral is a 1998 19' SSI Limited Edition. I keep it our family's lakehouse on Lake Santeetlah, NC. It's located in the southwest corner of the state, in the Smokey Mountains.

I, on the other hand am currently living up in Alpharetta. Where in Atlanta are you at?
