  1. For the record the net was there, DMAN couldnt get the fish close enough to the boat about a 15lb. bonita circled 3 times and broke off thats ok you can use me for your excuses anyway want to thank everyone for coming down had a great time the fishing will be better next time, or we'll dock it and go to the bars on the island
  2. Man I miss all the good trips-------J/k sorry to hear about the leg that really sucks guess your going to have to buy farm equip. now or something you cant put your fred flinstone feet through. get better and talk to you soon
  3. Dont look at as just wiping it down to look good you're also checking all the welds and fasteners just something else to think about..... air and the spry wax's are great
  4. Rick if you want to ship it off to cali. you can look up BDS (blower drive service) in santa fe springs, Ca. I hear they do good work.
  5. Dan is correct we wouldnt mind at all if you or anyone else wanted to camp with us we all have kids and dogs. Turn right when you pass the ranger station go down 300-400 yards its usually not as dusty in that area. its a real fun group of people
  6. Bob did it even get warm enough to truly check everything out I'm just up the road from you in oak hills and its not even getting over 36 in the middle of the day. The hose bibs havent work for 2 weeks dont know how I'm going to fill the trailer up also found out I'm not running enough antifreeze in the rail went to check the fluids before I loaded found the radiator frozen lets hope the trailer has no problems wont know until I get somewhere warmer like dumont this weekend.....

    WOW....now thats funny, I wonder if a 3 hour drive each way would be worth it Do you pay for gas?? from the pictures I saw, your property doesnt look like 13 acers. Does it have a guest house and a 20 year old swedish maid :yeah_whatever: if so count me in........See you guys next week :yeah_whatever:
  8. Love to see it snow hate dealing with so-cal drivers in it, took 3 1/2 hours to go 20 miles down cajon this morning, and sounds like I might need ice skates to get back home :yeah_whatever:
  9. I'm in for sure, want to see what else I can brake on the car
  10. Dan thanks for the tow I owe you big time. Try to make it out the 20th Thanks again
  11. Work sucks I have to also work that weekend.
  12. Way cool will it be done by New Years (Hell of a christmas present)
  13. I havent heard a bad thing about the extreme cars. What chassis are you looking at, I know someone with a double throw down and its big barely fits into a weeekend warrior front wheel up on the wheel well, some people dont care about taking wheels on & off I have to take all 4 wheels off and put donuts on to get it in the trailer (becoming a big pain in the a$$ ) I'm hearing the new echo II is the $hit your a bigger man then me no-way could I wait a year for a car, they must have up their production it was a 19 month wait.
  14. Kitcat...If you want to save yourself from alot of this and this then definetly start with the right tow vehicle. When I got into the trailer life I had brand new F-150 supercrew w/the 5.4 went down and purchased a weekend warrior 22ft trailer "no problem your truck can pull this trailer" yeah right??? loaded it up went to desert on a hill we hit a strong head wind I'm not kidding when I say I thought we were going to end up going backwards, not to mention the fish tailing it did because of the short wheel base. It got better when I looked at my wife said this is not going work :argue: very ugly. Now I have new truck and trailer I cant use went down and purchased a dodge diesel and rolled over $9000 onto the new truck from the other new truck that was only 9 months old. everthing was good......Until last year decide were doing pretty well lets get a 5th wheel went down looked found one hooked up and left so far so good well even though the truck was diesel, the 35ft trailer seem'd claim victory.(03 dodge ok not great) luckily this truck was able to be thrown into our work fleet. I then purchased a 3500 GMC dually (Duramax/allison) The transmission is awsome for towing I dont even feel the 16000 lbs behind me and stopping is also easy.......Bottom line you guys should sit down and try to figure out how far do want to go (more toys, sandrail, rhino,kids) they start eating up alot of space and the weights start climbing fast (Iwas able to feel the difference in just adding gas into the fuel station) someone else also mentioned the ultra-light trailers I was told they were designed for your vehicle situation look in to those. Anything bigger think about a bigger truck......Also the 5th wheel trailers are way easier to pull. Hope something here will help, good luck with your adventure.
  15. Joe what else can you tell me about your car, saw your ad on dunebuggy.com I know its fast seen you run whats the HP and the question everyone will ask WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT. Thinking of selling my car for alittle smaller one what are the front/rear wheel widths
