Carried the 22 for over 20 years, all I used were night sights (mepro light). 1/2 the price of trijicon. That and a extended slide release.

I own it now, couldn't tell you how many rounds went through it and still do. Always used the release unless doing drills.

Playing with lights on it now (olight), recharge magnetic base USB. Really small for a good light.

You're going to wear it out before you start moving any dirt !!

Still caked on dirt in there! Have to pull it down to weld some hooks on it but needed to move it. Was going camping this weekend but the boys blew it, so we stay home.

Threw more lipstick on the bucket. Threw it onto the trailer without rubbing it all off, back to storage.

The 2006-7 Duramax engines were some of the best. Just an EGR and cat in most cases which disappear easily. Those years the LLY was just a detuned LBZ, same internally and no injector issues.

2 big catches with the CDL, driving for compensation and air brakes. Seats only count here if you fill them. If it is just family, I do not see any issues but ask a local.

Don, just do an LBZ swap. They are all over from crashed trucks and fit right in.

Yep, 37s are called for. Bet that RPM will be way over 2.2 just cruzing. Think they will clear with a 6in lift. I get very little rubbing with 35s on 3in, with the fender mod.

Yep, the ladder looks hokey. Can you use a collapsible or does it need to stand? A collapsible with hooks on top might work. Or a foldup ladder like many RVs have.

Guys, thinking about getting something for the property that is versatile and cost effective. Name brands are double the price easy and want to be able to mig/stick and try Tig. Plus a plasma is the only way for cutting even with the need for air. I have brands at home now.

Liking what I read about the new titanium multi use units from HF. Either the 170 or 200 unit, both are 110/220 which my gen's will handle. Then take the savings and get a cheapo plasma cutter, which are well under $200 now.

So for around $800 I get it all. Throw a small compressor I need to get anyway and am set for up there.

Thoughts?

Ok, I am a tad confused I guess. Your hooking up the rear brakes but there is still an issue with them rotor spacing?

I mean it looks great and coming together wonderful.

I do think the brake line is a tad long/exposed though.

I like that hot water idea too!

Man I really like those blocks. Unless I have lots of rocks those maybe in my future.

Cleaned 8 of 12 pool filters (takes 4) trying to clean it up. Booster pump bearings for the sweeper are shot so I got a robotic on the way.

Pulled the front bumper off the sub for the other sub so I can sell it.

Put the new 6v cart batteries in the trailer. 5 year old Wally energizers were toast. Everything in the trailer works again, even the gen! (Costco/interstate only gives a 1 year warranty on these now!!)

Yep, if you can't space it or mill the hub a deeper rotor could be the answer. There goes the nice slotted/dimpled rotors though.

A little more info on the new BB. Tractor is rated for a 72in and at 1040bs. My BB2572 is 810 lbs and heavy is better on these, right?

3 questions though,

1) want to mount a tool box on the tractor, thinking a 50cal ammo can on the rear ROPS. What do you think, bigger, some place else and recommended extras?

2) dash instraments, like angle/tilt and a volt meter. The main dash is on the right fender so manage when using the BH. Maybe a cool LCD with a rear camera when I'm dragging?

3) hooks on the loader, it has none. Thinking 3, ends and center.

Input!!

First thing is finishing all the little service items. Still has a leaking hub which I can do for $50. Want more lights too.

My idea on the ROP is too remove the top and front, then hinge the rear loop or make it a slide off unit. Ideas welcome.

Little damage on the right foot rest and a cover is needed for those hoses. I know it is the wrong side, but I want a step on that side too.

Well, with the land comes other things, namely the Kubota tractor and the Maxx'd trailer. Not heading up for a few weeks with scouts and holidays.

Trailer works great, tows great and handles whatever I have put on it so far. It does need removable sides and a storage box for all the tow goodies. Also going to add a 6k winch I have laying around for good measure. Plan on a couple shipping containers which will need moving once or twice. Hydro solenoid got stuck getting the Kubota, but a couple wraps fixed that.

Tractor needs a little more TLC, looks like it was near the ocean for a while. Lights need work, general maintenance and the ROP will be modified. It needs to fold down to fit into storage vs getting HC containers that are double the price.

Plopped the bucket off by the trailers and parked it by the Polaris getting it of the neighbors yard who just moved out (of course I had their blessing)

Ordered a set of quick release pallet forks from Titan and will order a will a weld on thumb tomorrow. They have a great point system giving me $25 in points for the forks, and the prices are lower than Ebay, ship free. Getting the mechanical thumb for now, will add hydro later. Kubota is setup for a thumb, but it has a quick attach bucket, so a Kubota thumb is out (and crazy $$$) Already got the box/blade for it, left it on the trailer in the storage yard.

Trailer back in storage, dropped the tractor bucket and stuck it by the side of the house.
