Oh well then that will be perfect. I am going to remove the deck from Tiki Bar this weekend, haul pieces to the cabin. Next weekend if you show up with the red guy, you can smooth an area for it to land. I'll head to campground where they will load the tiki bar and I'll bring it over. THe cool thing is the tractor can do the final moving.

The way I see it, the F350 will do the work from the campground to the property. THen unhook it - put trailer on Gator, then move it into place since the Gator is 15' shorter than said F350.

I've got a line on a tandem axle trailer that already has the floor built over the wheel wells for delivery. Better than my trailer, still a bumper bender, and yet the rent is some beer.

Thanks Rich. It really means a lot that you are willing to help.

You forgot you said you were taking care of the camp sight when we were loading the jeep.

Smh

Must be nice living next to lots of campground land.


Well it's still a drive for you guys, but atleast you have some.





Currently I'm wishing I lived closer to Ohio, because I really don't want to make an 8 hour round trip just to look at a truck.

If it's anywhere close to Toledo I'll have a look at it for you. I'm 5 miles from the state line in temperance.

These are the last 2 I'm betwen so I guess if I wanted I could just spend a day and go see both, but I'd like to take a PSD expert with me.


Ford F350 XLT 7.3 Powerstroke with a Horse Trailer


1995 Ford F350 Dually 7.3 Powerstroke


I'm a bigger fan of the one in New Madison though.

That eclipse package is the way to go! A friend of mine has an F150 and from what I gather from him it's very rare. I know first hand it's one of the most comfortable trucks I've been in. It would be a lot more desirable if it was a 96 or newer. That is one super clean OBS though that I like.
What I see is a plus in the other truck is it's a manual trans a 96 and comes with a nice trailer

New Madison is over a 3 hour drive for me. The one in Whitehouse is only about a half hour away, I can check that out on Monday for you of you want. I happen to know my way around a 7.3 quite well and I have a friend who is an OBS guru

Come to think about it I'll be down in that general area tomorrow. Let me know.

Morning all.


If you could check out that eclipse one John that'd be great, but I think I'm going to go with my gut and just aim for the 96' with the trailer.
