He hacks GPS's so you end up at his tavern asking for directions. lol

You always took great care of your trucks. Glad to hear you met MoparMan. Welcome to the forum.

What are 'Turtles'? Is that another esoteric computer nerd term for an unknown snag? Many times I think it's hackers lurking in the dark, cause problems just to test and see what they can and can't do.

I couldn't do another one. It's a lot of work and there is easier money out there. If there's no rot anywhere I think a good commercial coating would be fine. Of course preparation is key in doing that sort of thing. I would be chasing roof coatings used on high rise buildings like a polyurathane (sp.) base would last a long time from my experience.

Yes for some reason it was a problem of the website. Now I can't any Emoticons so that's weird now too.

Mine won't load sites sometimes or becomes really slow at times. Two times while attempting to complete a transaction on line the hackers got my CC numbers and got the money. So far I've lost $64.95. But I bought shares in a company that stops hackers in their tracks and made many times that on the stock so I'm not worried about it. Elon Musk bought Twitter today and the cancel culture libs hate it because he believes in free speech

Yep and they have a real fair price on prime rib dinner down at the village restaurant. All downhill coast on the bicycle to get there.

I have also come up with a recipe for homemade chili with nice size meat chunks that are seared and broiled on the Barb b que before going into the chili. I have also found a better way to make the burgers too. my favorite part of the trip is how everyone sleeps in and then have coffee with pastries.

Those are awfull big solar panels in the back of your truck. Is that so it makes a nice air foil for the rv?

I am happy your on track Mike. I am so looking forward to this and I know that MoparMom is glad you are going too

Ive got the oil changed, just need to clean up the inside of the truck and camper from the last trip to Arizona,, grease all the zirks, check all fluids, wheel lug torque and fill up with propane.

I think Biden is making the whole country sick. Congress should appoint replacements for Kamala and Biden ASAP. I agree with Threadzy you got to go when your young. 03 is when I bought my truck camper and ever since I have been going places. I now look back while some very real physical limitations arise these days. Makes me so glad, places Ive been mean more to me now than ever before. It's very important. You know it's not just the memories it's also the ability to look forward to another trip that gets the blood pumping so good for you.

Buddy of mine had a squirrel chewing the weatherstrip off the bottom of his garage door. Didn't like the fact that same squirrel would be getting into his two collector cars so he laid an electric cord along the bottom of the overhead door and plugged it in. Next morning fried squirrel was ready for breakfast.

If they could ever learn to build what works and quit trying new ways. if they built a truck that works really well for a long time. same parts, same body style year after year would be great. An electrician I use just bought a new Duramax... Guess I wasn't too far off when I said let me know when your stranded I'll come save you with my Cummins.! Gee this is too bad as he just paid 80 grand.

It's amazing what is happening in our world today. I think it has much to do with flaky scared people too afraid of hard work. I am also amazed how many you see these days that look like they have never done a day of hard work.

Yep, my 02 with 111,000 on it has the clear coat going bad on the front fenders. I kinda think it's a good idea to leave it that way and wax right over it to deter thieves. When I go shopping I know that it is so tough to find a decent work truck these days with a new ones having to wait 6 mos. for delivery plus the 80/90 grand so I get paranoid with all the tools, even back up tools and having to park in an easy target area. I am actually beginning to stay away from more marginal neighborhood markets and hidden parking areas, that sort of thing. Buddy of mine went shopping for a used truck, he is a new contractor, says my work truck even with 250 K is now worth 30 grand because it's diesel. That's how hard it is to find a decent truck to work with.

KYB's on both my trucks. I really like the MonoMax on the truck carrying the camper RV and the stock factory replacement KYB's on my contracting truck. They have been good to me.

don't forget the golf tees, when driving, to go with them.

Two that I can remember where Francie and Nancy

Last time you didn't show IBMobile put a note in my truck when I was off dirt fishing said,'' Thanks for getting my hopes up and then he not show''! He put fish guts all over my floor mat. Don't know what he'll do this time... anyway he blames me for your trans going out. That's how irrational he is about it.

Only after an hour of looking everywhere did we think to look down the intercooler.... naw, it can't be.... get a flashlite yep, sure enough there it is. ''Stay away from the work'', he says.

Mopar Man has been a major boon to me in my life. Helped save me so much money after a lifelong experience with not so good car and truck dealerships. He's sure helped me and my wife a ton. Thank you Mopar Man

I hope you heal well LorenS. I discovered one day, riding a bicycle, that nothing hurts and helps me feel younger. Just bought a new Mountain Bike after 5 years on a 2001 Walmart 'iron horse' by comparison. Man the new aluminum frames are nice. I had no idea it would be so much easier to handle. Fun to glide around camp, go up the trails and go to the store.

Beautiful remote place Is that Sasquatch in the third pic? The dark spot in the lower right... looks like he's sitting down right there!

Thank you for the tip Loren, I will have to try that as the stuff doc recommends doesn't work half the time and tastes terrible. LOL, would be a good idea to get a bottle for the guys at camp.
