Project Family Hauler

Proof that I am being productive.

Hole in yard from buried treasure


The treasure that I found


These are the puddles from the nonstop rain. Didn't go away until May


Even when the puddle was gone the ground was mush. This is from the bobcat.


New position of the garage


This was the fun I had. 6 trips for a total of 45000 lbs of 1 1/4" minus to firm up the ground.

MMMMM, bet that dump trailer wasn't even there behind that D-max! Thanks for the info on the doors. I'm wondering how far I can get with the two pick-up doors... Good luck on the garage!

It slowed me down a little but thats what happens with an extra 12,000 lbs. On one trip the gravel alone was 9300 lbs!!!
That worries my wife because I can haul lots of other junk home with ease. Just look at the back yard, toys everywhere.

Glad you are making progress on the shop.

It still hasn't really stopped raining for more than a few days. By last weekend we already have 30% more rain than we typically get in a whole month.

And you are on the drier side of the hills.
Drove the other truck on a poker run and to a show last week. I'm rethinking the heater/defroster delete I did. Also the drag radials out back. Paper towels for a defogger sucks and hydroplaning with the family isn't fun. The suburban will be all weather friendly so I can drive it more than 2 days a year.

I know what you mean. Wait until the drag radials wear down a little more then try to drive it in bad weather. They wear down really fast on the street.

How pathetic am I? The drag radials have been on the truck for 10 years and I raced it once in 2001. The rest of the time has been on the street and they still aren't worn out. I need to drive it more so they will wear out, then I can get new tires and the Coys I want. Wife can't argue about the purchase if it is needed.

Wow, you really know how to baby a set of tires Mine wore out to zero tread depth in two months on the street.

They work better at zero tread depth until you hit the non-tread compound layer but are not street legal or safe if the roads are even damp let alone wet.

Go have some fun and wear those tires out so you can get the Coys.
