So it sounds like Sunday is a good day for exhaust clips?

I should have some time Sunday. Smoking beef ribs and drinking beer all day while the women are gone to the nutcracker play and it’ll just be my son and I at home.

Did another thing. Put a deposit on a 2019 rzr xp4 1000. Should have done it sooner instead of embarking on this blazer thing. Thought the blazer would be cheaper as it was a 3k entry fee. God I’m dumb. Still going to finish the blazer but it’s most definitely not even remotely going to be a rock crawler now.

it's alright, buddy. ever since we pulled the trigger on a midget tractor a couple weeks ago, i've been teetering between ideas on how we're gonna PCS it in a few months because my 16' car hauler has all of 2' left with the car on it... but this mower needs 5.5' minimum if i turn it sideways & somehow put the loader in the bed of my truck.

so option 1) trade my 7'x16' 7klb hauler for a 24' 10klb and have to deal with that massive thing every time i can't fit something in my bed (not to mention the steeper load angle for the vette)... option2) load the car onto my 16', rent a 30'+ gooseneck, pull the tractor to the front of the rental, then back my loaded car hauler on behind it... or option 3) teach my wife how to pull a trailer, buy a second one for our mower, and we both tow something to our next base.

started on option 3 last week when i made her pull the car home from the track (as her first time with a trailer... through construction, too). she done alright. now (because her H3's sports car transmission is the weak point) i just have to find a 6'x12' single axle that's under 900lb so our 2100lb tractor don't bust the artificial 2990lb GW rating or the Hummer's capacity and has more than a flimsy angle iron/mesh ramp (because that tractor would fortune-cookie it quick). short list.

that's left me spending the last couple days (on 3hr sleep) researching/narrowing down 2-3 trailer models that have half the capacity but twice the cost of my current car hauler. lots of fun!

I’ll eventually have to figure out a trailer. For the moment I’m borrowing a buddy’s. Maybe just go ahead and step up to a toy hauler. Means the tundra would need to be upgraded also. Decisions decisions.

for the blazer - definitely a car hauler; for the polaris, a utility will be fine. may as well grab one that'll at least work for either (if not both... but a trailer that could accommodate both would be a stretch for the 'yota).

Why a car hauler for the blazer? Paint is no bueno anyway so might as well just get a normal trailer

Blazer doesn’t get trailered. Blazer gets driven. Toy hauler is a pipe dream of mine. Start traveling and wheeling enough to need one.

okay... "car hauler" / "toy hauler" - they're all the same in my mind. basically a lighter-duty equipment trailer (or heavier-duty utility trailer) in the 7000lb GVWR family.
