Been away too long I've been away from this site for too long. I am only an hour from skyline. I need to get in on this. JR

We had a coleman once with a Briggs on it. We put a big car muffler on it. It didn't help. It was still terrible. It was actually bolted on the rear deck of a motor home. It vibrated the entire vehicle. I bolted it down with valve springs out of a Kenworth as a cushion. It worked great...

Update I have almost got my shop done. I still have some more wiring to do. I am putting 4 400 watt metal halide lights. I only got on up tonight, but it is pretty bright by itself. I am wiring them up 240, so they only pull about 2 amps per light. I still have the corner caps to put...

Bastard We want that ride. :flipoff2: JR

Side shed When I don't have anything to do and get bored. I am going to get started on the other side shed of my barn. You can build 20'x80' shed for about $2000 bucks. That's alot of room and pretty cheap for that much room. It's not that tall either so everything goes quicker. The peak...

Crawl I will be there this year. Wife is pregnant and due in September, but I will be there with a buddy. Missed yall last year. JR

Nice I love it. I want a camper for my trailer, but I figure mine will be a 1970's vintage. Sweet truck too. Sometimes a one ton dually just isn't enough. JR

Too Big I wanted at least a 28 footer. You can put two trucks on one. They don't fit good, but they do fit. This one is 31' total length, 27' flat with a 4' dovetail. I didn't want a dual tandem at first, but that would be alot of weight on four tires. If you get a flat on the tandems...

Finally bought a trailer last week. I have been wanting one for a couple of years, and finally found a pretty good deal on one. I am planning on putting either a pop up or a truck camper on the front. It just depends on what I find. It's heavy, but it pulls great with the cruiser on...

Plans I've already got plans for the cruiser once my shop is finished. First thing is rebuilding my transmission. My summer project is going to be four linking the rear and installing a new ox locker up front. Thanks for the comments. JR

Update Finally made some progress on my shop. I got the two roll up doors up on the back wall hung and that wall has some metal hung on it. I bought three 12'x12' doors. The first door took forever, I bet I made 50 trips up and down the ladder, but the second door went alot faster. I got...

300 series Go get some 316L welding rods. They will weld the stainless to carbon steel no problem. 316L is the best welding rod ever. It welds super easy and makes a very pretty bead. Has a rainbow color to it when the flux chips off. I can get you a couple of rods if the welding store...

Finally an update I haven't posted in months. It's been the craziest time of my life. We have moved in our place. It's not finished, but we have water, power and heat. I finally got my concrete poured for my shop. 40'x40'. It's plumbed for a toilet and shower, but just haven't got...

Hoods I finally just broke down and bought the Miller Performance series. It was about $230.00 from my local store. I love it. It's got every possible adjustment you could ever need. I got the American Flag with the eagle on it. It's a sweet hood. It's nice not having to flip the...

I have bought something to go under my pipe to cushion it. I bought concrete expansion joints. They are recycled rubber and are 4" wide and 1/2" thick. I am going to lay the pipe on top of the rubber and duct tape/zip tie every five feet or so. Then when I dump top soil into ditch with...
