Had a buddy looking at those covers.
Are you saying he didn't put the pin in and it kicked out? Or did the pin come out as he was going up?
Did that smash his helmet into his head or no helmet?

Yes no pin and he had no helmet on but every time he loads now he has a helmet

Cross trax is the same way, needs to be pinned and doesn't latch to the pipe.

Frig that’s gnarly man! Hoping his head heals up quick!
I had a similar thing happen with my sled deck loading from an icy parking lot. No pins in the ramp and it collapsed, smashed my windshield and my hood. I was thankfully wearing a helmet so just my visor snapped. But ya scary stuff
I now always load with two pins in the ramp. I’d give limitless a call and explain the situation Chase is a good dude and his guys are pretty good as well. I’m sure he’d do any required welding no problem.
He’s fixed my ramp with no charge before, Ive bent a couple rungs
That being said I travel to the okanagon quite often and just drop in to his place when i need something, I can’t see your location but if your not local it makes things difficult

Adding latches is super easy. They are literally 2 little arms with a 1/4" bolt on my Marathon ramp. Might be something to consider, at least it would secure it to the pipe.

Nice toy hauler!
It was all the cab marker lights that put you overweight. Ditch all of them and you'll be good.

Ha those lights came with it! I did remove some parts under the hood to lighten it a bit.
Thanks!

Yep that’s why I bought a 1 ton Cummins, the 3/4 ram diesel will always be over. I’ve told that to a few people and they said I was out to lunch

Even a 2500HD GMC 6.2l gas 4x4 with a long box with my aluminum flat deck was over. That was with 2 people, 2 sleds (full of gas and oil), and gear was over. I went to a 1 ton just to be sure.

Interesting.
My 2012 Long box 4dr 3500 with deck, only 1 sled, myself and some crap under the deck like tire chains, gas can etc. is also 9600#. GVW is 10,200. With 2 sleds/guys I'm over. I've done weekenders with 3 sleds/guys and the truck packed. Wish I had a chance to weigh it.

It's good to know you're overweight so you can be extra cautious. Coming home that night I had a cop pull out and follow me by Field, after a couple miles making me nervous he flashed the red/blue lights but then shut them off and drove past. I was speeding a little bit but also my deck doesn't have the 3 marker lights working nor did I have red lights on tail of the sleds (154/155). So even with the lights and not speeding he could have reason to pull me over for weight.
