I may choose to remain blissfully ignorant about the diy stuff on this truck for a while. I drove it 165 miles home today and I must say I was pleased. It maybe isn't as snappy on the throttle as my Dmax w/ the Edge/att, but why would it be? I think I'm going to enjoy this truck.
Oh ya...
I'm hoping to look at an '03 reg cab sometime this week. Anything in particular to watch out for in this year of the 5.9 engine or tranny wise? The truck has 70k on it and I'm planning on it being my daily driver/farm truck.
I feel for you guys having trouble. I went through it last year. This year is a whole other story.
Had very little replant in the corn, none in the beans. Corn started tasseling early this week. Rains have been moderated and well timed, no hail as of yet.
I guess we are the garden spot...
You may be nuts, but this doesn't prove it. There is just something peaceful about sitting in your RV, even if it is next to your house. I've done it myself.
So how's everyones planting season coming along?
I got my corn in the ground this past week. We had the best planting conditions we've had in a while. We're get some rain now. I hope to plant soybeans this coming week.
Two dogs for me, one inside and one outside. Amber, the litle Dorerman @ 110lbs, is the house dog. And the one who goes camping with us.
Toby, the outside dog, weighs in at 150lbs. He eats all the left overs (except for potatoes, unless soaked in gravy) and stays at home to keep an eye on...
It took a couple guys until Christmas to get done, but never saw any left after that. How did it stand through winter? What kind of moisture did it maintain?
I should have a mod close this thread. I found one way to quickly after asking for advise. Only got it in the water three times last fall before getting to the field which was followed by winter. Seems like all I could have wanted though. Go away winter!
No shit. I did it a couple weeks ago. Took all day but what the hell, it was 5 degrees outside. What else ya gonna do? Waxed the boat a few day later. Man I can't wait for summer.
I find that right there very interesting. I'm guessing you have many stories you could tell.
My self: I was a couple years into college when my Dad was killed. Quit school and took over the farm operations. I've learned a ton since.
I have to disagree. The size of the unit my have something to do with it. I have a tripod and it helps. Not the end all be all, but with two kids and a large dog moving around I'll take what I can get.
Quoted for truth.
You'll never regret more space over less space.
On edit: I just noticed our sig pics. and it looks as though we both go bigger=better
I finally took this thing across a scale this morning. With no water or inside type supplies it weighed like this:
Combined weight:19,820lbs
Camper alone:12,040lbs
Truck alone:7780lbs
Pin weight:2080lbs
I was a little supprised at the pin weight. It doesn't feel the heavy. It figures...
