It's 26' +4" so it is a bit long for the slide in and one rig but I built it to haul two rigs later if I wana... There should be about 4' between the camper and the front of the rig. Should be just enough room to bring along the 4wheeler if we feel the need.

Dovetails are gay.

You just have dovetail envy

Sweet. wrong color though

DavidW · 04-07-07, 10:09 PM

Looks Good!!!!

DSLTOY · 04-07-07, 10:09 PM

Ya - I just didn't want to get into that whole OD green / baby puke green thing

Just too many choices in the OD green "family" and I'm so easy to confuse...

dd113 · 04-07-07, 11:33 PM

There is military OD green then all the "lesser" shades. If such a large number of the WToE members have managed to hit the correct colour how hard can it be?

Didn't we just have this conversation at K-Rocks? Not that it matters one bit to me but there were/are several "shades" of OD green in use by WToE and, depending on what branch of the military, and the era of service, there are several "correct" shades. Seriously, I was just pokin fun at Kowboy cause I know he is not happy with the current color on his GN trailer. I used Rustolem black cause it's cheap, available anywhere, works well on rusty metal, and looks OK for a while. I'm white trash and that's good enough for me!

Hi Roger, had that in mind too. Made sure to fab some hangers for the foldong stairs on both sides between the back of the camper and the front of the rig, pleanty of room for the door to open, access to the clean-outs, etc. The pics make it look a lot better than it is, not as nice as yours, but I think it will work for us.

On a side note, we have been trying to figure out a way to get over to GSMTR for even a day or two but it's just not going to work out. Got two days of meetings and folks coming in for a plant tour right in the middle

. I know this is supposed to be your last year running the show and really wanted to come over to show some support. Well, maybe next year and you'll have more free time to wheel??? Best of luck with the event!

Thanks for trying, as for next year it looks like I will be stuck with it again. We use the profits to support SFWDA's trail maintenance at Tellico, which is what keeps the area open. None of the other Chapters that could take over the event are members of SFWDA, so I may have to keep chairing the event to keep the profits going to the right place. Though if we don't get 30-40 more registrations in the next couple of weeks we might loose money this year and I will have to rethink next year.

Folks, he's just screwin' with us!

Oh, I had that figured out 'fore he even started up this little club. Wouldn't have been worth joining if that weren't the case!

I just figured I'd go ahead and enlighten the rest of the folks that ain't figured it out yet.

bigcountry · 04-09-07, 07:34 PM

Hell, that's what I'm talkin about. All dodges, pulling Gooseneck trailers and living quarters on front now things are really starting to come together. Now, if Kowboy and I can get you guys to get with the program and get Jeeps then it will be sure enough BADASS. I feel the love as this is being read by many. pieceout bigcountry.

KOWBOY · 04-11-07, 03:46 PM

For Gawd's sakes Daryl ...

throw the camper on the damn thang and post up 'nother pic to get us back on track here.

dd113 · 04-11-07, 07:23 PM

Lets see here:
Kowboy buys a trailer
paints trailer a nice OD green
Strapee likes a strap on
Butch has gay porn on his 'puter
Kowboy buys a JEEP
Kowboy says he is painting the trailer another colour (pink?)
Just WTF happened while I was in exile?

Nice trailer Daryl, at least it is not pink and does not carry a JEEP.

I think my trailer is a little heaver and with my cruiser loaded and my side boxes full I have 10,800 lbs on the trailer axles. 4-E range tires are rated to carry about 13,000 lbs.

wanabecruisen · 04-11-07, 09:07 PM

Brand new 14 ply load range G "tyres" 'neath there Wise One. I hope to spend some quality time on the local scales on Saturday morning getting all my weights noodled out. It's gona be CLOSE!

If I may, I would like to study your side box construction at the Ramble. I have some ideas but no need to reinvent thw wheel right?

No problem, if you decide to get started sooner I can send pictures. They are actually fairly simple, but you will need to hook your tie downs to where the jacks were mounted as I used the tie down eyes on camper to secure the top of the side boxes.

I don't know when I'll start on the boxes but some photos would be great! I didn't think about using the tie down eyes as an attachment point.

Kinda nice havin you around old fella!
