    I have a nice bike in the garage I haven't ridden in a while. Has 2 flats and hanging from the roof. For a good price, it could be yours!

    Im debating if I even want to put it on a trailer. I feel like it would be a lot easier to steal. And its convient having it in the back of my truck. Been thinking hard about getting a ram 2500 ir 3500

    I have been away from the house every weekend this last month. I need to get some stuff around the house done so I can keep having fun on the weekends.

    I still vote trailer for all the earlier reasons. As far as "convenient to steal" - if a piece of shit thief really wants it nothing is going to stop him. The trailer just allows to you trade out trucks really easy in the future without having to build a new bed or move over a bunch of gear. Just my 2 cents though.

    Trailer still sounds like a good idea to me. It's cheaper than a new truck and when you are done for the day just Un hook the trailer and enjoy your time. It's kind of like clocking out for the day.
    I know it's a little different since it's your business but you get the idea. Just build the trailer yourself. Make it an off road trailer and sell them for crazy amounts of money.

    Can I theoretically take the ubolts off of my suspension with the truck just sitting? They technically shouldnt have any stress in them right?

    I did that. The center pin on the leaf is still in the hole on the spring perch. I did have the front and back wheels chalked.
