That's a nice new rig!

Honestly, no issues with my after-market lights. The lights have been with Capt Tripps long enough to have already necessitated bulb replacements.

So bright at night, a huge improvement over the factory stuff that was originally on it.

10 out of 10, would do it again.

Also, question for you. Your rear bumper with swingout arms (looks that way). What brand of bumper?

Need big stuff to do big things

So, I rented a shop (did I mention that?).

With all my "Gar-Bage" and the blessing of my better half, I rented a shop. I did mention that, right?

Since I have been a bad Uncle Killerz to you all, I will post once a week until I am caught up (and boy howdy, there is more than than you'd believe).

As its mainly me and my youngest, and some of my stuff is heavier than it should be, one of the first new tools I bought was a Gantry.




So after we got this monster assembled, I had to let the cat out of the bag (you know, if you want friends, buy a trailer. Same concept).
I called my buddies and told them what I had rented, and now my new shop is now the "escape my significant other" spot.

Anyway, we uprighted the gantry to help with removing the roof top rack to make some modifications to it.

Oh yea, the "escape my spouse" spot.



So, it's useful, especially during the winter months in Michigan. Did I mention the shop has heat, and a toilet, and an office (now decorated as a man cave).

So I had to get my Captain Tripp's weighed. Cause if you look at this picture, maybe you can guess why a weight is necessary>>>




Guess the weight of my Captain Tripps, with half a tank, no driver.



Go ahead, I'll wait.....



8,660 pounds. Captain Tripp's is thick, won't win a drag race, but will pull so much and get you where you need to go.

Until next week kiddos.

Uncle Killerz, out!

Looks like you've moved in for a while for sure.
I've been wanting a gantry crane myself, what are the details on what you bought?

That seal may be my spirit animal.

This picture cracks me up. Thanks for the share.
