What kind of toys do you tow with your 3 or 3T?

sept 2010 018.jpgI tow this 09' G3 1860 CCJ (Center Console Jet) all over the place (chasing the elusive smallmouth bass on the east coasts many shallow rocky rivers). I've done a few 500mi+ trips with it and my I5 3T does well. Also side note: That boat will do 30+mph less than six inches of water with my ATV on the front deck :whaa:.... I guess its kinda the Hummer of boats,LOL. Anyone else tow any cool toys around? :corn:

I tow a buggy and trailer with an 06. The buggy is around 800lbs and the trailer is just a 6x10. It does fine with this load. The buggy is fun but I definitely wheel the hummer more. The buggy has a great frame and suspension set up stock. 8-10in of travel in the front and 10-12 in the rear. The motor is underpowered, Its a 250. I will be doing a motor swap on it eventually, I was thinking a street bike motor or a high powered ATV motor.

A/C on and 100+ degrees out? I'm pretty sure this is the only thing I've been towing behind my H3. :)

Nothing yet. Was thinking of getting a trailer for the Buell, or even a hitch bike carrier.

Not sure if you have enough backbone to reel in these guys!... but we'll see in a few weeks if you have time!....

Ohhh, I am ready!! :D It has been a while since I've done any serious fishing, but I've got a telescoping Orvis rod in my truck at all times, for occasions/challenges such as this. ;)

We have just recently towed a 5x8 cargo trailer from Colorado Springs to Fairplay. This trailer is a bit heavier than a standard 5x8, it's not aluminum, it's made of steel. (WW Trailer) It has electric trailer brakes so I have added a Prodigy brake controller. The tow from 6800 ft to 10000 feet was much better than I had expected. I was anticipating a sluggish trip. To my surprise, the trip was not bad. Yes, I knew it was behind me, but it was not objectionable.

Our other trailer to tow is a 27' travel trailer. Not going to tow that with the H3. That duty is dedicated to the Tahoe.

We bought this little 25' travel trailer over the summer (weighs about 3,700 lbs loaded down). Took it out for 6 trips over the last few months up and down the mountains across Washington state. I wondered how my I5 would hold up, and it has done fantastic. I admit, I do baby it on the hills and try to maintain a reasonable RPM level on those long, sustained hills.
I have been hesitant to post pictures as I know some of you will think I am crazy for pulling this much weight :shame:

But, as you can see it makes Mrs PacNWAg98 happy - and isn't that what it's all really about... :)

I tow nothing. These rear springs suck for the 3's and I will try as much as possible to keep these new ones I just got from sagging as bas as the originals.
