that sounds like a plan man! Got me an allterrain knee scooter on the way hope it helps get me out and about

man thats a nice shop, glad your liking your gig!

Thanks foodtruck! please make sure shes a female

 

Judging by the number of babies clinging to her back when she moved in, I’m pretty sure she is you sicko.

Edit: What difference does it make if you’re going to throw the possum on the grill anyway?

 

Damn, Chris, it’s broken? How many bones are broken? hope you feel better soon and heal up quickly.

The new Gooseneck doesn’t have any tie downs except for the stake pockets. I’ve never been a fan of using the stake pockets as an anchor point, there’s always some kind of lateral torque on them. PJ actually makes a stake pocket tie down but each one is only rated at 4000 pounds and cost $20! The ones I made use a 5/8 inch D ring rated at 18,000 pounds, the finished product actually weighs in at 5lbs! LOL. The large D ring does make running chains easier too!

 

You can Tell when you have a new RV tech and they forget to pull the slide in before they back the RV into the shop!

 

Sicko? Aren't you the guy who sleeps with auto parts?

 

So ​​​@KubotaOrange76 , where should I send the possum to? *quickly changes subject*

 

Send it here, we have other critters it can roam with and Chris can take it home with him after they visit and catch all of the bass in the pond.

 

just one, #5 metatarsal in middle of foot. Cant put but a little weight on it right now with the boot.

those should work really nice. I always felt weird about tieing everything down to the stakes when i pulled 48’ flatbed. Then i had a few folks tell me that your supposed to loop your chains around the spools and not the stake pockets? However the goosenecks i hailed did not seem to have the thick spools like the flatbed and weren't welded all the way around. This is a nice workaround i dig it

Can you send it here? My chicken Bubba and I have a plan for its demise.

Sous you want some of the meat?

 

Sure, if it goes bad during shipping we can use it as bait for the catfish.

First of many tows with the 5th wheel this morning. We are looking at over 10,000 miles between now and January of 2022 and are very excited to get back to a normal life.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

Any of you guys running disk brakes on your 5th wheels. I am gonna need some brakes on ours soon, and thinking I will swap over to electronic over hydrolic disks, should be quieter and smoother and better stopping. May also bypass the desire for an exhaust brake, for a while at least.

 

Eric, there are a few write-ups in the 5th wheel sub-forum with details about disc brake conversions. I considered it a while back, but spent the budget on a boondocking solar setup instead.

I wanted to go with more than just brakes though, heavier axles, springs, hubs and bigger wheels along with the disc brakes. Just depends on how "nice to have" you want to go and how much time you have.

Etrailer has some great kits if/when you get serious about it.

 

I don't feel a need for any axle or wheel/tire upgrades. Just looking for better(and quieter) braking.
As always, time is not something I have extra of, hense why my 1-2 day truck project is now at a week and a half, which is leaving me tortured cause I want to try out the tune Cody sent me :-)
I will jump over and find those threads.

 

I hope she’s not allergic to marshmallows like some of Chris’ other ‘pets’....

 

For some reason this:


Reminds me of this:
