Troy, I'm sure Jay was napping while driving home with that new fancy truck. It probably has auto steer.
Cory, did you get a newer truck? Did you buy Jay's so you could get the dependable iconic 7.3L?
I see in your picture also that you have a tag along trailer on the back of your camper. Is that legal on all roads in MN? Is there a length maximum for total length of trailer(s)? I've done that on mine when I had a snowmobile trailer hooked to it to carry kayaks. I think I might have been outside the 53' length but also double trailers are only allowed on certain roads I believe.

Glad to help Jay!

That tonneau looks like it will work very nicely for you!

It is legal on all roads here in MN. There is a total length limit of 70' in MN.

We got some humidity today, but it's 76 out today. We haven't really had much hot weather at all yet.

Good afternoon Dave and Troy.

We took the Rhino out today for a couple hours today. It was pretty nice in the woods.

Heres a few pictures of the cover on the truck. It rolls up like a normal cover but you can also flip the front portion back to access a tool box (which I still need to get).
