Finally picked up a beast to start exploring stuff my monster Lexus can't get to. My 16 month old son runs up to it every time he sees it and lifts his hands up and says "BRUM BRRRRRRRUM".
Its am 01 DRZ400S. At first I wanted a KLR650, but I wasn't comfortable with that heavy of a bike...
Thanks. With the trailer I wanted to specialize in big stuff, construction equipment, offroad vehicles, military vehicles, etc. I've got to move some attention getting stuff so far, so its an exciting business......when the truck is running that is.
Some other shipments:
Sadly, the engine in my 2008 F-450 grenaded, and Ford doesn't want to cover it under warranty, so I'm having to list some of my not immediately necessary tools & toys on Craigslist to come up with the extra cash for the engine replacement.
Of course it had to happen right after a new transport...
The deal fell through on the house with the matching RV bay and garages in early 2008, but we closed on this place in May 2009 with a much larger house, another acre of land and much nicer views.
I installed a lift in the 10' ceilings garage that works great for the smaller cars...
And at...
I havent updated the trailer since the lift and big wheels. Im going to be extending the tongue about 12", and then I need to fab up a hinged lid with lift struts to mount the tent - then everything else will just be working on accessories and finishing touches.
Bonded title might only be about $75 fee...
If there is no VIN stamp or official paperwork besides a handwritten bill of sale - you might just be able to register it as a homebuilt trailer...
In that case you just have to bring it in for an inspection, they verify it has lights and just ask...
Only with no traffic near you for about a mile...
Believe me....I tried for the hell of it.
While I can deal with the bright reflection off of street signs, any passengers in my car are complaining about it...
I'm sure my sense of enjoying the awesomeness of these lights is allowing me to...
Are there no phone numbers to contact the renters? If there are - are the calls just ignored or straight to voicemail like a dead cell battery?
This might be a good idea for future trailer rentals - to gather a few numbers of references, work or close family members.
While this guy sort of...
Funny enough in the pic, it looks like the lower clear clasp around the light is broken.
The top one looks like its 2 pieces bonded together.
The actual ones are a solid piece of clear plastic that grabs completely around like the top one, but without that seam that looks like a nice breakable...
These lights are from Checker Auto (or Shucks or Kragen....depending on where you are).
I heard of someone getting these and I thought..."HID....yeah right. Probably some cheap APC junk with a 55 watt fog light bulb that will burn out in less than a week".
They installed 2 at Sedonafest and...
