Bob ... take all the parts, pieces, and tools along to the rally's and shows and you'll have a nice little cottage industry!

How are you going to get the rock crawler in the back? Let it crawl up?

For you guys that have both ... what is more effective than using the PA feature with a powerful outside speaker? Or a compressed air operated train horn?

Nice plane. Nice story. I learned to flew and worked at the Shawano, Wisconsin airport (K3WO) I think. Back in the 1970's or early 1980's I refueled a Bonanza a couple of times that flew up the Shawano from Dallas, TX. Very similar very similar to yours with the tip tanks. If the winds...

What is the difference between a heat pump and "the other thing"?

Bob ... what does the second flag represent?

Mr. Blizzard ... thanks for clarifying. For a while some of thought you didn't know what you were talking about. There are enough guys out there like that, we didn't need another one!

You'll like GM. First went there as kid in 1960's on our way to English River, Ontario to fish. We lived in Shawano (WI). Dad had International Scout with two 10 gallon gas tanks. About 10.3mpg pulling the boat trailer loaded with our stuff. 200 miles from Shawano to Ashland (WI) then 200...

Look at the data plate on the U-Hauls you're interested in. Look at empty weight and gross vehicle weight. Like Mr. Blizzard says ... start to add up the weights.

Be very careful. Smaller wheels, lower capacity! Figure out your fully loaded weight ahead of time, calculate in what you want to pull (if anything), and them make sure the axles, wheels, tires, hubs, bearings, springs, tie rod ends, shocks, steering linkages, and frame rails will carry the...

Thanks for the effort!

Check Racing Junk.com regularly. You might find what you're looking for for a reasonable price. Too many unknowns. There are a few trucks on Racing Junk that look like someone put a travel trailer (which is essentially what you have) on a medium or heavy duty truck chassis.

13 years old. How much does it weigh, hard to see from the picture, but the thing looks big. Is an F350 a heavy enough chassis for the weight the truck and what you'll have in it and/or haul?

I would recommend carrying a copy of the statute and any regulations you find the truck. You never know when you'll need to prove what the law is.

Good idea. I agree. If you can't pass a reasonable written test and a reasonable road test ... you don't belong behind the wheel.

One of the best posts yet!

Pretty much time (labor) and materials. Can they balance a tire in 45 minutes? Do they have a special, expensive machine to do it with?

Very, Very nice. Great pics. Gives someone a clear ideas of what you start with, what goes on during the build, and what you end up with. I would be interest to know what the front axle weight is when you're full of fuel and full of water. Enjoy!

Very, very nice!

Make sure your CDL and log book are up to date too!

Venturing into the longer distance drayage trade.

Look for "band tour buses" for sale to give you ideas. They often have a bedroom and some bunks. Consider going as big as you can. Mr. Blizz is very correct. Look in Racing Junk.com. Sometimes the racing motorhomes on truck chassis have bunks for crew. You're probably going end up at 42 to...

Did you get a truck with a wooden frame? [I just couldn't resist!]

Are you making a water tank out of the fuel tank? or turning the fuel tank into a dual purpose tank. I'm confused. Is the tank sitting on end the same one installed on the truck? Thanks! Dick

The Beach Boys played on Sunday, July 1st at Milwaukee's Summerfest. Outstanding concert. NO cheap lead-in band; 100% Beach Boys! The concert started on time, they had a reasonable intermission (remember they are 70 years old), and had a good encore. We got more than our money's worth...
