Found this on another forum and just had to share :eek:
If you're pullin' a 5th wheel with an S-10 Blazer ... you might be
a redneck.
This lesson on how not to do things seems to totally escape some
people. I'd love to see how the trip ended up, but I feel confident
he ended up in a ravine somewhere wondering why bad things seems
to always happen to him.

He's hooked up and ready to fly! It's amazing how the extra weight
really smoothed out the ride in the truck. He did have to air up
the rear tires a bit (around 160 psi).

He added some heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate.
Note that he used the "Heavy-Duty 'S' hooks to attach the chain.
He also paid-up for some BIG 5/16 sheet metal screws to attach
the frame to the tailgate. Yeah, he knows it's overkill, but he
didn't want the possibility of having an accident.

Much of his time was spent on his front porch whittling down that
MASSIVE 4x4 board to fit precisely into the ball mount receiver.
Also note that he used a 14" piece of 1x4 to help distribute the
load more evenly ... YOU CAN'T BE TOO SAFE, YOU KNOW! It cost a
little more, but you just can't be too safe when pulling a trailer
of this magnitude!
