    Thanks! i love it that trailer has saved my arse multiple times!!! lol.
    I'm thinking of installing electric brakes on it maybe this weekend... i had a lot of weight on it and just fried my brakes this past weekend going down a steep hill.. might have to pull the trigger and install them, because i don't want to be going through breaks every month...

    Dude Thats a big no no . Over the years I have had my father total a brand new 350diesel truck because the trailer brake controler wasnt working . Yes It will ruin your truck braked and prob warp your rotors . the the saftey issue for yourself and other people is my biggest concern . Its dangerous to say the least not having brakes on your trailer
