Lee I did alot of checking on prices too before I bought mine. I want to say there is a little wait to get them once ordered cause they cyro treat them as ordered.

David I am doing good tonight. Picked up a bunch of sticks in the yard tonight so now I got firestarter for the fire ring!

I did notice Troy, I am still checking schedules, but it looks like it will be a go. I was going to leave for Az then, but found the wife now has a bachlorette party the next weekend.

Well, I've been planning on putting a wheel lift under my 350. I was looking at the hide away types, and may go with one. But I thought if I got a wheel lift off a wrecker I could do one up. It's been three years since I've been under one though. I've been trying to decide if it's doable to grab a wheel lift off one and mount it up...

WeFest, you know... I'm 11 miles as the crow flies from there, haven't been there, but I can hear the bass sometimes when the evening is nice and quiet.

One guy here in town has the hideaway style but have never looked at it. I should look somewhere I just saw a used wheel lift off a wrecker. If I find it again I will let you know. What are your plans for it Repo?

Yeah repo and some normal towing for the shop and for myself. I am always buying and selling, so it would be nice. I don't want to buy a wrecker just for it though...

Yeah if you buy a wrecker the insurance would be a killer. I bet you could get by cheaper with it mounted on your pickup. For repo work the hideaway one would be nice. I should ask the guy in town who has it if he wants to sell it cause I know he never uses it anymore or maybe you want new?
