Nah My wife is right there with me, doing her own stupid shit. Case in point: That her rig, and she needed a good winching. She had fun though!

That makes sense. Still a bummer. Hope she's doing OK.

Oh noes!! If you don't mind me asking Larry, how come you've decided to sell it? I'm sorry to see it go, but hopefully you're able to find it a good home.

I never said it COULDN'T be done! Onlh y that it won't happen anytime soon. :laughing: I would love to do that at some point, but I just don't have the cash to pull that off right now.

I'm going to agree with @MOAK on this one. I feel like used, older vehicles are the way to go for many reasons. Modern vehicles are complex marvels of engineering. Turbos, active fuel management systems, complex computers, radar systems, cameras, etc. This makes them incredibly complex and...

Looks good! Unfortunately, with the locking slides, this is part for the course. The only way around that is to make the platform flush with the bottom, so the fridge sits inside the outer frame.

I'm sorry man. That frustrating. At the rate you're going though, you'll have a practically new vehicle when you're done though!

I have not. I need to unload it, and then take it to get weighed. Maybe I'll see if I can do that next week, as I'm very curious.

Depending on the route, you may struggle. There are some very difficult roads out there. I've driven many of them.

It would take some serious work to match my trailer tires to my X. I run 265/75r16 on the X, and 215/70r15 on the trailer. The trailer tires barely fit already. I'd need a new axle, fenders and springs. Its not going to happen anytime soon.

My biggest issue right now is how to keep my water pump from freezing during the winter. I'm thinking usb powered heating pads, and a custom jacket for the pump, and 3 feet of pipe. The other is the best way to carry the spare tire for the trailer. I'm thinking I need to install some sort of...

By all means! That's one of the reasons for this thread. Feel free to ask questions. I'm more than happy to answer them.
