Got a jetski but not a jetski trailer? Harbor Freight has you covered! Yes, the jetski bounced around on the trailer when it hit bumps. There was only a single (limp as a noodle) strap up front keeping it from causing a mess.

This bloke was leading by example and texting while driving and running camera lights. (Pic is before I removed the rusty lights).

And this guy should have been more concerned that not a single light was working on the rear of his truck rather than the languages people speak.

Takuro Spirit is right, wrecking trucks in Wisconsin act like there’s no such thing as safety, or the law..

The entire point of having a jet ski is having a house on a lake and not needing a car because all the shops and restaurants are also on the lake and have boat parking

I will admit, I pulled a dump trailer with a donor vehicle behind my truck without trailer lights.

I did however have the decency to put a set of these on the rear gate of the trailer so I had lights:

So the jetski basically becomes a water bike

A jetski is a water bike.

I can’t imagine why someone did that with the Harbor Freight trailer. It certainly didn’t save any money. Actual single jet ski trailers can be had for almost nothing used.

Not sure what I’m supposed to be outraged about in the last picture

4 for $20 and the jetski would have been perfectly fine.

I like how they are using a trailer that is probably not extra proofed against water...

That jet ski owner is about to be in for a very expensive mistake.

I was more referring to this portion of the outrage

wrecking trucks in Wisconsin act like there’s no such thing as safety, or the law

I swear it was Takuro Spirit who posted it, but someone here posted a picture of a wrecking truck in WI recklessly towing three cars who were a good pothole away from causing a massive pileup. Maybe I’m unlucky, but those trucks are super common out here. One of my favs was a truck towing a pickup with severe crabbing issues (and thus partially occupied another lane) and a car that was actively leaking something out onto the highway.

Just as an ATV is essentially a land jet ski
