Alabama thread!

I got a fenced in back yard with a vicious labradoodle to keep it safe.

 

Vicious...might be the word I would use...but probably not..

 

She's got a mean bark, but its immediately followed by a doggy hug. Its pathetic honestly. She's a good dog though.

 

You guys need to replace your flood lights with the ring floodlights.

I still need to run a wire for one more of these babies in one more corner.

 

I have an HOA. I'm surprised I haven't been reported yet to be honest. Not even supposed to work in your garage according to policy much less have a full on fab shop like I do.

 

We went for a hike this morning up on Green Mountain. Here is a couple of pics.

 

Yeah, it would tend to get old I'm sure. Chances are, it would stay on the truck until I needed to take it off for some reason. I think I'll try and rig something up to be able to lift it on to the truck alone. I'm sure its been done before without a hoist.

 

Gotcha. I was thinking something along those lines. I’m notorious for lifting things alone around the house I really shouldn’t just because I’m a boneheaded man so this should be a good time.

 

Gotcha. Well it sounds like I have no excuse not to get one now... except for money of course. I’d really like to get all my suspension and driveline mods done first before I buy a tent though.

 

it's a pain in the ass to load and unload an RTT by yourself, it can be done, but I will say they are light enough that your significant other shouldn't have any issue helping you as well.

loading and unloading it is easy since you just slide it on the metal bar, it's maneuvering it to and from the truck that's a pain.

 

True. If I remember right, yours wasn’t all that heavy, just awkward because of the size.

 

Creepers work great for that.

 

Perhaps a hacked up rolling office chair?

 

it's about 120, scottys probably weighs 160 just guessing of course.. It's the fact you can't wrap your arms around it that's the problem.

I wanna bear hug it, but unfortunately when I'm carrying it like that I can only barely get finger tips around it.

 

Yeah, that’s a no go for handling 120 pounds. Is your tent big enough for two people comfortably? That’s probably what I’ll get when the time comes.

 

plenty big, i put myself and 2 german shepherds in it and was still enough for another person.

 

also wait for right timing and my tent can be delivered to your house for 685 or so.. they generally sell it for $720 w/ free shipping & no tax + a 5% coupon code.

 

Yeah his is the same size as mine just different materials. Mines pretty stupid heavy overhead honestly.

 

Nice. I’ll keep an eye out. But if I can’t even get my wife out on the trail with me, I’ll probably just stick with how I’ve always camped. This would really be for her.

 

Shipping weight of mine was 235lbs. That's really just a cardboard box and and some plastic around the tent.
