You know Ray, you should really go home from time to time I need to take my truck out for a spin this weekend, maybe I will stop in and check on your progress.

I always wanted one of those, but I have a Mack dump and a F350 dump, so its hard to justify buying one.

The one on my pickup I hardly use , but a friend bought it and never used it, and I thought it would be cool.

Ray it works GREAT for me.
I don't use dumpsters any more. I have had it about 9 years.
If I am working on someones house and they are having a party or some thing it comes home with me on Friday and them comes back on Monday morning.
I also do not damage any driveways. It has been a REAL big asset to me.

Later this morning, I'm going to relocate the 350 V8 in the Jeep. It's too far forward and not high enough.

Ray, I would love to, but Newington's a hike. what are the specs on the MACK?
Andy, I would love a dump trailer, but my truck apparently can only tow 4700lbs. WTF? thats embarassing. a dump trailer is alot better than a dumpster. plus, u can line the trailer with tarps and make a pool out of it. tried it with my truck, but too many leaks. ill have to try again one of these days.
Greg, its Salem, what neighbors lol.

I have a little 6wheel dump w/a 275 but it goes pretty good! I bought a 10 wheeler 3 years ago and mounted one of my drill rigs on it, 427 w/an 18 speed that truck hauls azz.
