Was good to see you and Shannon and Frank! Good times indeed!

Rudy (not my brother in law - but the stereo shop owner) was the best! Super nice guy!

The truck makes a little noise with the new and improved jake -- but not like it should! I want hot rod jake sounds.... like the big truckers! It isn't going to happen with the regen exhaust stuff you must use... but I can dream!

Mr. Weld, Yes I did see the picture of the vertically challenged guy. I just thought he was the tire changer.:D

No really, looks like an exciting time to just get behind the wheel and travel. you sir have been blessed in that and I love to hear about these trips.

Enjoy and keep us entertained by your travels.

That's a Jake!


Mine reminds me of that commercial where the neighbor has the electric car...

I was going to let that it slide. What an amazing piece of "work". The funny thing was my dad and I walked down about 3 rows looking for it. If Greg says it is worth looking at it must be cool. My fault I fell for it.

All I have to say is paybacks buddy.

Eeeeeeeehaaaaaww!

That's all I got. Glad you ended up with the toter set up, seems to make more sense. Sure is a whole lot of white rollin down the highway...

:cheers:

I'd really like to get this RIGHT - the first time... so I'm looking for your help on pluses and minuses -- things you'd never do - and things you wish (unlimited check book items) that you had.

Trailer is ATC 40' - with 14' living qtrs... triple axles (spread axles) - all black - .050 rivetless skin... gooseneck.

I'm looking for ANY ideas - brakes - landing gear dos and don't - interior ideas - bigger liv qtrs - smaller? Built ins?
if you hate having a bigger trailer because it became a PITA - or do you wish you'd have gone a bit bigger?

Totally open discussion.
Well, after almost two and a half years, and 100 pages, Mr. Weld is rollin.:cheering:

Heep -- It's really more like FIVE YEARS.... I just wasn't vocal about it!


I really struggled with this whole process... because it's a large commitment of energy to do this stuff! If you get it and don't like it -- you're kind of stuck. They have zero resale value. I learned something from boating... the guys with 30's and 45's were out every weekend... once the guy stepped up and bought a 65' the boat never left the dock. I was worried that might be the same situation with these things. However... now that I have it -- I like it!

Not to dig up an "old" thread, AND change the subject, but here is a picture Luara took of our boys guarding your car at Redding, gun and all.
