Maybe you need a bigger Truck

It does look a bit ridiculous towing the "little" 24' trailer. The truck is as big as the trailer!

This should help you get up to speed on the CB good buddy.

I needed that refresher!

Actually -- people make fun of a CB.... But it's really helpful when you need some "truck" info...

I squelch it way tight so I don't hear all the BS... But if there's a wreck ahead etc -- it can be invaluable to help make a decision on exiting and or finding fuel etc.

I'm an old licensed HAM and have always had a soft spot for all things "radio".

No doubt, they are a great tool on the road.

I need to install the CB and a couple of other things -- so since it's suppose to rain about 5" this weekend -- and it's COLD -- It's nice to bring it inside to do that kind of work!!

this that Wilson?

nice job on the BIG door, ya it's pretty ugly outside...I'm missing the 80 degree Vegas weather already

I just today FINALLY got a version of the trailer in prints that I can work with.... now I just have to drill down on some details. Like I told the factory -- Start laying the frame rails!

It took some work to get the plant/management to realize my tractor could haul this... I finally took a picture of the GVWR and rear axle spec etc.
