the park was almost bone-dry. there were no black water pits.

here is "mud-pit" (supposedly black/red)

looks like alot of fun

 

Damn, I miss the 5 different kinds of mud at RC.

 

GREAT pics and vid, Ian... thanks for posting that!

Dang... that's a sick 3rd Gen your buddy has, too!

 

PS> The CAMPER LOOKS SICK! Was it fun with it?

 

Why thank you sir!

Huge shout out to Ian! When I moved to DC, I couldn't move everything and unfortunately my camping gear was one thing that had to stay behind, but Ian was nice enough to let me take the other bed in the trailer. I can vouch for Ian's craftsmanship and work on the trailer, it held up to a downpour of rain and even some hail and didn't leak at all!

So thanks for everything Ian, it was a blast! We will definitely have to plan another trip to hit the trails again soon.

 

it was cozy, even without insulation. the roof never gave in with the rain and wind, and only 3 minor leaks after the 2nd day from the duct tape (waterproof, uv-proof, clean release). it was hailing at one point, and there are no dents. i figure if the trailer can stand up to 30mph gusts, sideways rain, and marble-sized hail, i'm good for anything!

 

glad you had fun. i needed to get out of the house, so it was the perfect excuse. hopefully next time i won't be riding on half-worn street tires...

 

Yeah it was really comfortable, and for $300 you absolutely can't go wrong. You definitely did a good job on the roof and everything man, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Yeah I did too, I'm just sorry I had to bail and couldn't wheel more today...Next time I will be there for both days...Yeah I think new tires would go a long way, although you were able to tackle everything you attempted. I was really impressed with how well your truck did. When you get the locker and new tires you'll be unstoppable

 

our track from saturday:



(17 miles)

 

Looks like it was a lot of fun... glad to here the roof/trailer held up...

 

can i anticipate the placement of said tank? i'm guessing you are looking to put it in the spare wheel well (and move the spare to a swing-out)? yes or ?

on finding the dead compressor, two possibilities: wanted ad on your local CL specifically asking for broken compressor (including a picture always helps) and freecycle if you have it in your area.

 

nope on the "mounting location"
i'm just going to have it separate, as a portable unit. that way, it's not always taking up space or weight. i'll pack it up for trips, but it's staying home for dd'ing and local visits.

yep, i'm putting out an ad now, looking for a good pic to use...

 

last assignment for school? turned in. done. now where's that little piece of paper that says i'm smart enough for a job?

 

Sorry cowboy you'll have to wait a few mos. for processing before you get the foreskin...

and then you'll still have to find someone willing to take a chance on some fresh outta school tech...

 

already in line for a sweet job. no application required

 

Congrats man! Welcome to the working world, where the hours are long and the pay will never be enough to do everything you want to your truck

 

yeah, but it won't be nearly as bad as when i was going to night classes (100 mile commute, 16hr days)

 

Congrats on finishing school... and a new job...

going to have to watch your rig as the income rises
