    Quit my job, sold my stuff, packed up the dogs and went on the road!

    I pray Will Rogers ended up in Heaven!

    Rio Grande Big Bend Exploration

    Great trip report! I always like reading BBNP trip reports - my wife and I honeymooned there 40 years ago next June.

    Video: Honda CRF250L Rally vs Kawasaki Versys X-300

    Since this was resurrected, I thought the KLX250 was Kawasaki's competition to the CRF250L? Maybe they should have compared the KLX250 with the Versys X-300 to see which was better for various tasks.

    Trailer axle

    When I was looking to upgrade my axles, these were the best deal I could find, but I shipped to a commercial facility. Residential delivery is additional, so it's cheapest if you can pick it up at a freight depot, or a business with a forklift. They were really easy to deal with. The axles...

    Tour de Canada part deux

    Actually looks like some of the nonsensical Google translations I get when I try to converse in a language I don't know.

    Deer Mtn. to Big Red Park to Greenville Mine and back

    It may be obvious to you, but what state or province do you live in? I get no or too many hits on my Street Atlas for Deer Mountain, Big Red Park, Greenville Mine Rd or RCR60. Nice country, tho!

    Norris Lake, Gatlinburg and KAT, July 2017

    Sharing challenging adventures can bring the family closer together. Hopefully, your daughter will want to go on more adventures with you now that she realizes she will survive them.

    My Journey

    They ask so little, give so much and leave too soon. It never gets easier saying good bye.

    Our custom Chevy Express conversion van was totaled!

    Since you didn't mention it, it sounds like no one was injured, thankfully. I'd wait until the insurance company gives you a number. If you don't agree with it, you don't have to accept it. You are doing right by trying to establish a value. Also scour the vans for sale in the Van Forum...

    Another military trailer build

    The technical manual for these trailers states 4200 lbs total weight, with a 420 lb tongue weight with the HMMWV tires. The M1101 trailers were derated to be used with lighter vehicles but were identical to the M1102.

    Another military trailer build

    Looks great! Only suggestion would be to put canvas sleeves on the chains to protect the coating. The military did this even with the heavy CARC coating.

    Diesel or Gas?

    Got a 96 7.3 F250 (bought new) with just under 400K. Only engine issue was the glow plug controller went out. Only smoke is light grey when starting, but clear underway. Consistently gets 18-19 mpg on the hwy at 65-70 mph, and 13 mpg when towing anything (empty 16' flatbed or 7000 lb horse...

    Mild 1997 Chevy 2500 build

    Nice cap design, but I wouldn't hang the jerry can on the door due to stress on the hinge and potentially warping the door. If you can stay below 8.5 foot legal width, I would mount it on the right side above the taillight. Otherwise, inside or on top the cap.

    Military Camper Trailer Build

    I did the same thing about a 1 1/2 years ago for a farm tool trailer. The cap was used by an air conditioning company, then a farrier, so it is well used. I also thought about removing the side storage boxes to make a camper trailer, but have other options now. I also had to use 4x4s for the...

    97 F-350 CCLB build:

    Love those draft/TB crosses, we have several. English saddle and double bridle or Aussie saddle and reins and lead rope? I have English, Western and Aussie saddles and actually have a more secure seat in the English saddle. I also have a '96 7.3 CC - Wish I could buy my truck new again...
