Do a pintle hitch. :lol:I was just throwing stuff out there. Heck if I had $2500 to blow for a trailer, I would be building it.. I could get one done for that much.

Heres whats on CL in my area: http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/3842241219.html ^ You could haul 5 cord of wood and tow your travel trailer! http://spokane.craigslist.org/for/3803723775.html http://spokane.craigslist.org/grd/3828539052.html http://spokane.craigslist.org/fod/3820933519.html http://spokane.craigslist.org/fod/3765055662.html http://spokane.craigslist.org/search/sss?zoomToPosting=&query=trailer&srchType=T&minAsk=&maxAsk=3000&hasPic=1 Maybe it could give you a better idea on trailers?

Red fir is my most fav. to split! Such a wonderful smell splitting it...

:ahhh:I've got 115 to do this 4th july weekend. I dunno if we are gonna be able to get one of them contraptions by that time. I'm really hoping to, but I'm one busy boy right now!

I was thinking aout the whole 4.10 gears thing, but did not know if it would really be worth it... Would my diff. housingfit a dana 80? Theres a few reasons why I wanna stay away from a dually. Parking it would really suck. Buying 2 more tires would suck... The ride would suck.. I would also be DD it... I dunno, I probably have it all wrong. But dually's just don't appeal to me. I suppose it would have to be the RIGHT one, to do it. What else is there that I could do to the suspension besides airbags? I'm hoping to really bring the pin weight down by counter weighting it...

Is this alpine fir AKA white fir? If so, I think its alot easier to split wet.. But that stuff don't really make alot of heat. Didn't you have a log splitter? So what are you doing to cook food? Do you have a wood cook stove, too?! When I was doing wood, I'd wait for the rounds to check and then get to splitting...

I'll trade you...

A swift kick in the

Uhhh, yea! Its beastly! I fear I may have to upgrade to a larger truck... I sure wish against doing that, but I would rather increase my safety margin.I dunno if I could ever get away without staying SRW and just go to a 1 ton. I hate the thought of going dually. Can't really afford to get a dually anyways. I would love to afford a cummins 4500 or 5500!My question is, being that its a 5th wheel, if I have less than 25% pin weight, will I run the risk of sway just like a ball hitch?Dripley, thats what I figured I would have to do. I think I'm gonna get weighed again when we get all our stuff in the trailer before I hit the road.I'm going to be adding different things to the toyhauler. Decided to get a toyhauler for like a "storage" area for our stuff. I'm gonna put my freezer in the back, amongst other things. Hoping to counterweight it a good bit if possible. The generators dual tanks are also behind the axles. I think it was like 45 gals. total capacity...Capacity of my truck tires?3750 lbs. at 80 psi. per tire.So the rear still has over 1k lbs. before it hits rating on them. But I'm aiming to keep the weights around RAWR...My rear axle was pretty warm pulling it home last time, so I'm also gonna look into a deep diff. cover with cooling fins like the mag hytec.

How many cords you burn in a year? :think:You don't split your wood before you stack it?

:pant:Moving pictures will be mandatory!!! :hyper:I live through you...

...and I was born that year!

On the way home, trailered the 5th wheel. Had a few CAT scales I was going to pass so decided to stop at one at the LOVES gas station.Got the truck/trailer weighed. Me, wife and dogs with some extra stuff that we packed for the over night drive to pick our trailer up from family's house. Black tank is about 1/2 full. So that weight is incorporated too. Black tank is in front of axles. Was gonna dump, but my sewer solution kit did not come as it should have...So here are the numbers, someone help me make sense?!Truck, trailer together:Steer axle: 4340 lbs.Drive Axle: 6360 lbs.Trailer axles: 10120 lbs.Gross weight: 20820 lbs.JUST trailer on scale:Front jacks: 4580 lbs.Rear axles: 8800 lbs.Gross weight: 13380 lbs.JUST truck(Just me in it when I did it and no superglide hitch):Front: 4190 lbs.Rear: 2660 lbs.Gross: 6880 lbs.Okay, so can someone help make some sense of this for me? The biggest question I have:The trailer being weighed by itself, the front jacks on one part of the scale; 4580 lbs? :ahhh:That can't be accurate for pin weight, right? Cause when its hitched to the truck the math would not work out..If that really is pin weight, then keystone has LIED big time! Cause in brochure it says hitch weight is 3090 lbs. That would be a big screw up on their part for not properly weighing it. But I dunno how to exactly calculate pin weight. Except for rear axle weight on truck, before and after hitching...Man, did I mention $10 to weigh?! $2 to do a reweigh...

Get rid of the k&n!

YEP! 1st row, 4th from the left!

You could come up for 4th july weekend and help butcher our chickens...

There are a few things that I feel NEED to be addressed before parting with any of your money: 1. Does it have a K&N air filter? If so, check turbo for oily residue. May have caused damage to intake. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/24-air-system/41-bhaf-big-honkin-air-filter 2. Ask about the Killer dowel pin. Was it fixed? My 99 had the KDP. I had to fix it. Got the truck at a shy 200k miles on it and the pin was still in. No damage, thanfully. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/34-engine-system/106-kdp-repairtiming-cover-leaks 3. Is it a "53" block? Some 53 blocks have a hairline crack in the block. Causes a coolant leak under the turbo above the motor mount. http://www.cumminsdieselspecs.com/cummins-53-block.html 4. Is the vp44 good? Codes? CE light? Fuel pressure? Healthy fuel pressure above 14psi and no more than 25psi during the life of the vp44 will keep it running. More than likely, it has not seen the pressures. 5. Coolant/trans. temp heat exchanger. Is it rusted out, leaking coolant? If its too rusted, the fittings to it will be leaking or your coolant or trans oil will not be right... 6. Does it have gauges? Fuel, boost, egt, trans(auto)? Will tell you the previous owner has done something to monitor parameters. Which means they may have a good idea about the weak points. 7. Does the bed sag in relation to the cab? Could tell you whether or not the frame is bent/cracked from too heavy loads. (exaggerated example) But its what COULD happen if the frame has been cracked and go heavy. 8. Any extras, like mods, chips, hitches? Could tell you about whats been done to it and whether or not it has had an abusive life. Other then that, its just typical things to chec for when buying a used vehicle... And! Visit: http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins

I used to work for mcd's. I DESPISED the mcrib! I think buffalo are great! I will eat a bison burger all day long! Even before elk! I know where my meat came from! From our pasture... Wish I woulda gotten some pics of us cutting and wrapping it. Father in law gave me a hobart meat saw. Worked WONDERS!

By golly!I say you dip your finger in it and taste if its sweet or not! :smart:Then, shall we know if it truly is motor honey or not...

For a while IIRC, mcdonalds got their beef from south america? Then I hear rumors that china is gonna start supplying meat to the US! As for me, I'll be raising it or hunting it myself! I tell ya, if I could ever get into agiculture, I would! I would want to do buffalo, though...

Well, I had alot on my plate last week and there was no way for me to be able to go to a kinkos or the likes to print off or make flyers in time. Instead, when his "girlfriend" gets over to his house this evening, me and the wife are gonna go over. Don't wanna make him answer the door as he only has 1/4 lung capacity or less, left. Wife made a batch of sweet rolls.(Hes apparently a sweetooth) We've got a thank you card and I bought a flag that I'm gonna see if he will let me put up for him. ...we shall see how it turns out! - - - Updated - - - He insisted he put it up, but I got my drill and put the first screw in before he even had a chance to get out of the chair! No way I would let him do it. But overall, good experience! Visited for about an hour, hour and a half or so. His girlfriend had to remind him about most of his stories more than he could tell them. But hey, we got to show some appreciation. Atleast if he goes, he will have some sweet rolls to take with him! Heres to you! A WWII HERO!

:stuned:FUN!

I used to work at a manufacturer here in town and they had some orients working there. One was real bad! She was married to a redneck. She would concoct some of the most putrid of things! I was told some stories by 1st hand experience. I guess one day one of the other orients brought her some bones and all she did was stuff it in a plastic bag and left it on top of her locker! Still had meat on it! Still had an 8 hour shift to go! They will eat a sh!t sandwich without the bread! That is definitely part of the culture I do not wish to experience... Sounds like a plan! That keep me from ever considering committing a crime!

Now, try and fell one with the top driving in a stake!
