I'm not sure what the width of a Colorado box is, but if it's close to the back of a Trailblazer (with back seats down), it may not fit...the Yukon may. I have to return an X2 Trap because I have discovered the poles do not collapse completely. Fortunately, there was one set-up at a store for me to look at before I started putting the thing together...it was a gift. Nice gift, but can't use it. frown.gif

You can get the demensions online at the company that sells them...I believe if you download the manual it will tell you.

My son has a Z71 extended cab and we put the Yukon in the back of it Saturday night and had room to spare with the tailgate shut.. Not a lot of room but it fit none the less. Hint when you drive home from the lake to not leave the fish pail in the back of the open bed truck! You end up with a big fish lolipop. shocked.gif Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Thanks Skeets...that's the same setup I have. I'm guessing I could go with the Yukon though and put the tailgate down. I think the Yukon is like two inches too long for the bed, so I could probably either put the tailgate down or put the tailgate up and lift the house over the end of the tailgate.

How do you like your Colorado?

What have you been getting for gas milage?

I have had mine just a month now with 1,000 miles on it.

I have averaged only about 16-17 MPG.

The MPG is the only thing I have been somewhat dissapointed in.

Everything else, works great, so far! grin.gif

I was told by my dealer that the MPG should increase as the engine gets broke in, any truth to that?

I had a little Geo Tracker 2 door convertible last winter, and I went to Tractor Supply and bought a 4X6 expanded metal utility trailer for $399. Worked slick for ice fishing, threw the house, auger on the trailer and the rod bag, minnow bucket and tackle bag in the Geo with me. Plus, having a little utility trailer around has come in handy for other things.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
