Heat Treated Garage

We Get Caught Up On Winners And Fix Our Hauling Setup

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 23:00:00 -0500

Ten minutes of audio disappears, so we do what any responsible garage crew would do: laugh, splice it together, and immediately start making a list of who we owe giveaway prizes to. We’ve got an August 15 event coming up at Mayobi, and before we roll into the next stretch of the year, we’re getting caught up the only way we know how by drawing monthly winners live and calling ourselves out for being bad at shipping stuff on time. If you’ve been waiting on gear, this one’s worth your time.

From there, the conversation swings into the stuff that keeps off-road life running behind the scenes: supporters who help us stay motivated, what our Buzzsprout stats say about where we rank, and the kind of hauling stories that make you ask, “Should that vehicle really have a receiver hitch?” Yes, we’re talking about a Prius doing truck things, plus the ongoing quest to haul smarter without turning everything into a white-knuckle drive.

The main tech rabbit hole is towing and trailer setup. We break down a new 34-foot PJ gooseneck with air ride suspension, an air ride hitch, and electric over hydraulic disc brakes, then get into brake controller tuning, loading angles, and why ramps can turn a calm day into a fast problem. We also recap Milwaukee Madness, share what Milwaukee reps hinted is coming next (including a battery-powered fridge/freezer), and flag a “you won” scam message so you don’t get caught clicking the wrong link.

If you like real shop talk, off-road problem solving, and gear talk with zero polish, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review. What’s the sketchiest thing you’ve ever hauled or towed?
