If you're interested around mid-July I'll be selling my '07. It only has about 500 miles on it at the moment, and it's been well maintained. I'll be listing it for $3,200 but will go as low as $3,000.

A TRV is a brute. So far very little has stopped my Cat TRV. It takes a extra space in the turning department but not bad. If its to tight, make your own trail.

Yeah, that's taking some getting used to, but it's certainly not a big deal. Having a spacious second seat is worth the hassles of the longer wheelbase. I was concerned about scraping more with the wheelbase, but so far the increased ground clearance has negated that concern.

Average trail riding you wont have any issues with the height.

I installed RTR Flex mod with a 2" lift. So I can find bigger things to drive over.

Morning everyone.

Thanks all, good to be back. They are telling me about 2 weeks and I will be back to normal. Now have to loose the weight.

Can't drive the truck for a week, until the arm heals a little. So son and wife are at my disposal.

Looking at the new "Montana" 5th wheeler s. They have so much more room and better amenities.

Morning everyone,

Brendon, if your out of electricity, I have a 4000 generator you can bough. I haven't started it in a year, but if you need it I will start it up to make sure it's running. Let me know. I live a couple blocks away from Justin and Ray's shop in Newington.

Today I'm tying a couple of Caddis fly's for fishing. Probably tan for the weekend. Don't know if I can fly fish yet but will give it the old college try.
