So why did you have to dressup in the first place? My wife always gives me a hard time because dressing up for me is a new pair of jeans! LOL

Evening everyone.
Another nice day. Almost able to get my 5er out of the shed. 12' 3" opening (It was 11' 6"when I started) and my 5er is 12' 2". Need to melt a little more ice. After that happens I wont be able to pull it out due to to mud. Oh well, spring in MN.

Troy,

I store it at my place or our family farm. We do not farm any more, but still have the 160 acres and the buildings. I live on the farm. I use our old hay shed (open on one side, but only building high enough to get it into. I know I can get it out if I really needed it to by dragging the truck through the mud with the tractor, but I am somewhat annal? about my lawn, so it will stay for now.

Your farm sounds like a nice place. I wish I lived in the country, maybe someday. I store mine at my friends place in Grey Eagle so its about 70 miles away. It is in his shed so that is nice and 14' doors so I dont have worry about the height. I am also pretty picky about my truck so I wouldnt pull it thru the mud either.

It is nice to have it here, but wish the shed was taller. I do cover mine to keep the bird crap off it, so that sucks, but it really keeps the campers nicer when they are kept inside.

Troy,
What part of western MN you in? Just in case I need a tow when I am out that way. Heading to Hector for work tomorrow.

How do you have a 1994 with only 29,000 miles? That is amazing. And what is Pete's Cover? Sorry about the 20 questions.

Lee, I live in Morris so if your ever out this way and have trouble I got ya covered or anyone else for that matter or just stop in and say hi. The '94 is a rollback truck and spent its life as a backup wrecker in TN. So it never got used till I bought it last summer. It had 26000 on it when I bought it and actually just turned 30,000 last week. Thomas has ya covered on what Pete's cover is. Here is another link to his webpage as he has other stuff on there as well! TruckMods Dont worry about all the questions ask away! Have a good day in Hector!
