Wishing the best on saving moola for the next year. I had to move me and my ex in with my mom yrs back to pay off bills and get a nest egg together. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Will wait patiently for any new news.

Ya i really dont mind living in a trailer ive done it for a few years back and not to bad living next to the inlaws we get along great, but for sure some downfalls living here as far as being able to work on my rides, but it for sure will help getting on our feet .....Good news is my buddy richie and his shop are about 6 houses down and around the corner so I can use his shop for working on bigger projects on my rides!

thanks! It has a gooseneck attachment(which is good because i dont have to install a 5th wheel kingpin with the tracks across the bed or remove the tailgate to tow) so im thinking of installing the metal reinforcment plate under the wood bed to the frame and having just small enough holes to bolt the ball and chain hooks in the bed when needed to be able to hook it up and tow short distances here and there around town if need be, for the move to chico ill most likely just pay a transporter to tow it to its new home when the time comes!

Oh hell other women are more then welcome to come a knockin if its rockin......

it seems to be doing ok so far with heavy loads with just the bags so far ,levels out pretty nice with a decent size load, and to tell you the truth it rides like a dream with some weight in there, your really notice how bumpy the truck rides with airbags after you leave the scrap yard with a empty truck..


Thanks everyone ill try and get something done on the truck sooner or later, but untill then hold down the fort and ill be checkin in!

We got a small 1978 camper to stay in when we take our leave every year, and parked it on blocks on our 14 acres. It is probably half the size what you have there.
Living with another person in that small a space, you get into a rythm real quick.
We live in ours for only 30 days a year, but we love it, and I have made so many mods to it the wife teases me that we should have gotten a small camper trailer instead.....

Your set up looks really nice man, you certainly are no slouch when it comes to getting work done !!!
