What'd you do to your KREWESER today?

[dockbox]

I'm really impressed with the HD skid

 

[123ROBERTELEE]

Yeah I spoke to brad @ ricochet today about getting a ARB filler plate for the HD skid mocked up. I think I am going to grab some in the next month or so. There goes my rear bumper money :/

 

[dockbox]

Just take my rear bumper skid and it should hold everything together until you get your rear bumper.

 

[Trab]

yeah, what he said.

 

[123ROBERTELEE]

Does it just attach to the frame rail and then what?

 

[dockbox]

thats all 4 L brackets

I love my HD Ricochet front skid. It takes a lickin!

It's not so much what I did TO my cruiser today as it is what I did FOR my cruiser today.........

*left the house at 6am for Shreveport
*got there at 11am
*bought the new trailer
*got back on the road at 12pm
*got home at 5pm

I picked up this toy hauler from a guy and his wife that live in Longview, TX but they agreed to meet me in Shreveport to save me some drive time. This is so that Hachi can ride in style and my old ass won't have to sleep in the heat or the cold anymore. I am probably going to gut most of the interior as it was poorly done but the trailer itself is in great shape and has tons of storage.

Thats gonna look great in the driveway!!

How long before you paint it yellow??

 

[Bang Bang]

It won't be in the driveway (still trying to find it a permanent residence)....maybe I'll bring it to your house. You don't have an HOA do you?? And it's funny you talk of painting it yellow. That's the first thing Sandy said she wanted me to do. I told her that painting it was FAR down the list of stuff that I will do to it.

 

[Trab]

Mike, love the trailer. If you need help let me know.

 

[Bang Bang]

Thanks. I will definitely need some help with welding a few things later down the line. For now, it's going to be lots of interior tear out and re-do. The ceiling in the whole thing needs to be replaced, the trim and possibly the walls in the shower, the toilet (possibly), all the 5" crown (yes....5" crown) has to go and I really want to move the door to the rear of the LQ but I am not sure that will happen. A friend who is a contractor will be in town in a week or so and he is going to look at it for me.

 

[HODGES]

nice trailer mike!

 

[Bang Bang]

Thanks Jason.

Forgot the PO had sent these to me a while back.......

See the door below the shelf.....it covers one of the port hole windows on the back......and notice the crown moulding to the left.

Here are the cabinets and the fridge......that is a view from the entry door. Better lock it before taking a shower.

Notice more of the crown moulding above the beds.....it goes all the way around. Not a single piece is cut correctly nor is it mitered in the corners........

Keep in mind, the guy Matt who I bought it from bought it this way and had no time to change anything but it's funny because he was telling me his ideas and they were the same as what I want to do. I just hope I get to them before I sell it.

No Hoa but we do have the "Quality of Life" Dept. They once tagged a 5X8 trailer for the Cub Scouts that I had in the driveway for a couple of days. Somehow I don't think that would like that monster.

Looks like a fun project Mike
