We should try and meet up for a meal or something on my way up there if you're still stranded in/around Detroit.

I'm in Manistee and family just left so I'll have some time to finally work on the slide outs now. Are you going to make it up this far? We have been enjoying the beach, Lake Michigan is a lot higher then last year, cold too, LOL

That is good to hear about the lakes! I wish that were true for the lakes out west, like Lake Mead and Havasu. We need rain or another El Nino year. Lemme know how it goes with the slides!

I'll take that 366 off your hands. So you might as well go ahead and order a 400 frame....

Iv gotta quick question for one if you. I meant to do this today but forgot and I won't see my dually for a week. Can someone measure how wide their back door is on their crew cab? From the front of the door to the back of the cab. It doesn't have to be exact, just close

Me and Gabe already have an understanding for the 366.
Sorry gents.

Right Gabe!


But heck yeah if JP gets stuff together we can do what we did with Todd. Meet up and plow through 2 or 3 projects in one day.

Although we'd have to convince Bill and Tyler to come out....lol

Lol if we had Bill and Tyler come over, we could have the engine rebuilt and installed before lunch!

And thank you Todd!

Here's the last one I've got. This is the semi from Wooten, OH I think.


EDIT: I don't know how many times I screwed this up, but he's from Wooster, OH. Wooten is my mother-in-law's maiden name.
