Everyone who went must still be hungover or something. 400 registered rigs any barely any pics so far.
 
54's..... hmmmmmm.....

Yep. Biscuit was the first one I thought of. Wait until the 40's break some stuff and you can go back with 54's. (honestly, I was surprised the F-350 didn't pop something. Especially seeing the lack of throttle-care they were dishing out)
 
Toooooooo weak(s)
 
Beautiful truck.

Check out the high tech respirator the guy painting is wearing, scary.
 
I made a good vehicle shipping contact today. The guy lives about an hour south of me, has a 40' dovetail trailer, heavy duty. He hauls freight out of this area to all over and brings SUVs and PU only on the return trips. Let me know if you are looking and I will hook you up with him.

This rolled in this morning

hit about 950 miles and five states yesterday. Would have broke my one day record of miles but got stuck in the worst rain storm ive ever seen in my life. Visibility was maybe down to 5 feet and after an hour of that, it just did not let up, I said screw it and checked in to the nearest motel.

Before the rain hit though we were treated to some beautiful purple streak lightning over the Kansas sky.
 
One day limit here is ~1500 miles, but only because I ran out of hours in a day. Total was 32 hr non-stop from Phoenix to Greensboro .... 2100 miles in 33 hours. One of those "glad it's over, don't want to do it again" experiences.

Dude...they can get through 2 states, at least, on the right Dead song...... But it'll damage them so bad that they'll never return to those states.

I think I'm gonna hire you to tech any major jam band gigs I get. None of us can stand them! Now, where's my Bobby Darin record?

:flipoff2: - Then again I've never had to work with the likes of the Dead either.
 
Anyone know approximately what this rearend is out of or an approximate age? It's on an old hay trailer we have at work.

Reminds me of a model T rear-end, but it's obviously not the same.

My guess is a 1940's "banjo" rear end. Looks like someone unbolted the yoke and bolted on that bar to prevent the axle from rotating:

I think Johnny is right. Very common on farms across the country. Farmers save everything and this is a prime example why. Everything ends up re-purposed or rusting away.
 
I just realized the recent Hurricane Creek trip qualifies as an overlanding event, or even an expedition (by current standards/definition). Looking back at the event, we failed to live up to overlanding/fashion trends.

Meaning $90 shirts ($125 if branded with a logo), $150 zip off pants, $25 socks, $40 coffee mugs, maybe a nice ascot? Well, maybe not the ascot.
