Here is what I usually tow. It is a 8 x 19' Ice Castle fish house that I use for ice fishing and as a hunting shack up here in MN. This picture is of the Fish House and my truck on Lake Mille Lacs. In this photo, the wheels are cranked up to lower the floor down to the ice.
 Here is what the inside looks like:   It weighs in at 3700 lbs before I put all my "must have" fishing or hunting equipment inside.

 But I do like that I dont need to carve through a layer of ice whenever I want to go fishing.

That's a pretty neat setup, Glock!
I'd be VERY nervous about driving out on ice though. Does anyone ever fall through?  - Jack

Good catch!I only drive pull that out on the ice when there is at least 14" of ice. I have seen a few guys go through with thier trucks and cars on less ice. You have to remember that no ice is ever completely safe. My insurance would cover me if I dropped my precious F150 in the drink, but I don't want to have to go through that!

Ye Gods! Those were great pictures, One Tom! I don't think there's any way I'd trust the ice to hold my truck - ever! Dang, that looks like cold work getting those things out of the drink.
 Not a job I'd want, no matter how bad the economy.- Jack Last edited by Jackpine; Wed, November 11th, 2009 at 10:57 AM.

I think some of the recovery fees start at about $1000 and go up from there!
But Jack's right! Darn cold job especially for the divers eventhough they have their dry suits on. IMO Lars
