I really am happy for you, it's been a long winter.


And yes

 

Diesel for the win!

 

Ummmm

 

I'm surprised to see that many miles in the clock already. Congrats on 20+ mpg, I can't even get that out of my 4 banger Taco.

 

Wait, what? You got a diesel?! Diesel what?

Fire the OP...I asked what did I miss and no mention of Marty getting a diesel.

 

F350

Evening everyone

At my Brothers house , going to sleep here tonight . Tommorow morning he's got contractors coming here to do work inside the house . He wants me to watch them

 

Lots of options and buttons. But what I like most is 475hp and 1050ftlbs of torque nothing makes it breath hard.

 

I keep all that info in my pants pockets

 

Trucks are ridiculous anymore with all the gadgets and do-dads. But if I had a reason to own one I would 't even blink. I'd have one. I have 2 diesel pick ups assigned to me at work and we couldn't get it done very well without them. I still have my 1st truck (F-450 that my seasonal helper drives) and my 2nd truck (Ram 4500). They were both supposed to be replaced 3 years ago but that whole "chip shortage" screwed that up. Maybe October we might get new trucks, we'll see. But they do get the work done.

 

We have to do a lot of towing so it’s something we can’t do without. But for beating around it’s the 4Runner. When we pull the camper somewhere like this past week I missed the 4Runner for beating around on the forest service roads. It’s way more at home there than the truck.

 

I fully agree...I said the trucks do the work, what I didn't say is how they beat the crap out of us. We both also own inversion tables just for that reason.

I have yet to see a somewhat affordable solution to having a comfortable trailer, a truck to pull it with and the "get around vehicle" to drive around while camping. I have seen some ridiculous rigs though. Rv's on semi truck frames, huge stacker trailers for all the toys and then some...not really something you can actually park in an average neighborhood. Toy haulers work but most of those aren't very comfortable and still limited for what they can haul unless you're talking 3 axles and 8'6" wide.

 

this seems to be a long running but still good thread. will play along.

Now to the test:

1. What condiments do you prefer for your hot dogs? Think carefully! = chilidog sauce
2. What snack cakes Little Debbie’s, Hostess or Drake?! = little Debbie of course
3. What is your preferred hardware for removing the younglings from the lawn? = shotgun
4. Dog or Cat? This is not a question about what is on the dinner menu! = DOG
5. Goat Porn? = is that a thing?
6. Coffee or Tea? Those are your only choices! =Tea
7. Bacon = YES
8. Toilet paper rolls, over or under? = over
9. Daylight Savings good or bad? = more daylight is better
10. How do you like your steak cooked? = medium
11. °C, °K or °F ? = F* of course
12. Miracle whip or mayo? = Ketchup
13. Star Wars or Star Trek? = Star Trek

 

Well here is the “I’m getting too old to put away a wet tent” (but really want a travel trailer) compromise.

She wanted a very nice RPod but I didn’t want to tow that kind of weight. We are not “Glampers” I still like to cook and hang out outside. We already have a two room shower/toilet shelter with instant hot water and that works for us. But this will provide a nice space to retreat to when the weather gets rough.
