pintle hitch broke on towrig.
 
Man, talk about SUCKS!!
How the heck do you break a pintle hook??
Hows the running gear look?
I guess you could always go open cockpit..

always check your hitch mounting to the frame or trailer every now and then.

local blacktop guy lost his trailer in the middle of the city 1day. truck side of the hitch snaped clean off. found the broken bolts. thay were loose and sheared off.

lucky he didnt have and damage to him / equipment / others stuff. super lucky.



and sorry for your major loss :eek1::doah:r.i.p. you good old rigs. :frown1:
 
holy shnikeys..... glad to hear no harm to you and your passengers!

rigs can be rebuilt!!

everybody is fine. nobody was hurt.the rigs can be fixed or replaced.
i would of rather it was my jimmy on the trailer than the troll.i can easily replace the jimmy but the troll will be almost impossible to replace.it is 1 of around 30 in the usa.
 
"the troll" = Nissan Patrol = :bow: I wish Nissan would bring those to America. Sad to see get wrecked. Are you going to rebuild it?
 
for right now its going to get parked out back where i dont have to look at it.
we will figure out whats going to happen with it once i settle with the insurance company.
 
I wonder how many tourists you p!ssed off because you closed the highway for a while and delayed them on their way to a dog kennel "tour"...:doah::haha:
 
sorry to hear about that! but luckily nobody got hurt.

no patrols over in the states? we have plenty of'em here in Europe...wish I could just send you one over...
vice-versa we nearly don't have any blazers over here...

good luck to you!
