But how many laps around the dunes did it take for you to burn them 18 gallons? When your in the dunes its all about smiles per gallon

at least 10!
And you're right it's all about the happy under the right foot and what it brings to the party!

Hay Dave, here's the Pelican Harding case, I was telling you about. No cut-out on the bottom, just grooves. But View attachment 210126 View attachment 210127 View attachment 210128 damn near indestructible.

interested in one Brian! I think one of those slots would fit over my latch nicely.

Looking for some hardtop weatherstripping in good condition...in particular the front cab seal and the side window seals.
Anybody have some decent pieces?

Edit.... Just found my side window seals but still need the cab seal

 

[RECKLESS_TRENT]

Dang.....I think your BBC is better on fuel than our SBC. We only get about 5 laps to about 10 gallons.

I leaned it out a little bit, I'm sure thats why its so economical now!

One big item accomplished over the weekend....RAMPS.... Something I've been meaning to make since I bought the trailer six years ago. No more squeezing the tires between the fenders!

Very nice looking trailer.

It is a nice trailer for what it is....12,000gvw. But the brakes suck....they hit hard and act like they're surging ..... I've tried this trailer on three different trucks and two different controllers on my trucks, always the same outcome. My camper tows great and the braking is smooth and consistent so I'm sure it's not a truck issue. The brakes feel like the drums are out of round and grabby.

The ramps look good!
Are they easily removable,so you can still haul more stock vehicles?

 

[jekquistk5]

i like the ramps dave

Check the shoes for contamination...might just need new shoes and turn the drums.

Ramps look good. I am going to steel that idea some day.
