20,000 pound fork lift to load it and unload it. Deck over trailer is rated at 24,000. This machine is 13,000. Hooked to the Ford.  Was my butthole puckered? Hell yes!!!!

I finally got a 20’ long lathe!! And can hold 42” round! 4” bore in the spindle/head. It’s massive! I got to to repair farm shit. Lots of mowers for between trees are 10’ to 15’ wide that need bearing surfaces repaired.

The past year has been great. People aren’t spending money on new, they are all asking to repair old stuff. Hell yeah!!

I got my 4ws Capra crawler about as decked out as I can make it. Went brushless motor, everything under it upgraded. I’ll get a picture today.

here’s my newest plane. V1200… 140+ is what they say. I need to go somewhere to fly it, my place has space but not for that kinda speed.

I want to go to a class 11 event with you! That looks like a hell of a time.

I’ll probably keep my rail around until after Memorial Day weekend, hit one of the deserts south of me. A day drive, 2 days is brutal—-each way. More than likely yank the motor and sell it as a roller for peanuts..

I look at my rail daily…she’s a love-hate relationship. 1/2 tempted to yank the engine and sell the roller. 5 times or less a year of use in my eyes is useless… dump it and revamp my baja.?? I don’t know…but one trip at the dunes is a lot of fun!!!

Is this a type of place sandrails could go explore? Or should I bring the dirt bike??

And no metal, even with other places making metal it will still make restoring a bus nearly impossible.

I’d love to meet you Easter at the dunes, but I can’t leave my shop that often. Either Easter or 4th of July…and I think July is more important.

my toy hauler is 21’. holds 40 gallons fresh water. We have done 5 days in it before without hook ups. That’s about when it gets low on water and full on shit. You’ve been in mine JJ.

I keep looking at a 5th wheel…all depends on how much I could get for my current one. Offset the cost a little.

What’s the June race date in GJ? Close to the end of the month ?? If it’s close, I’ll hit this up and the July 4.

in reply to: KCW randomness #85604

Thinking about this years trip…4th of July and stay for AJ wedding?? Bring the toy hauler?? Can I get in the hills with it where the buses camp?

Oh shit…JJ got dunes on the brain. I walk past my rail daily in my shop. Still talk about the ass whooping I took right there in Utah..
