But he had to buy them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'm thinking that and wireless for a few prime spots with solar power. Since I won't be there some of the time I want to see what/who comes and goes in realtime and game cameras.

Might not even have any power at first, so gen and solar will be options.

Don, do you have a few cameras setup just for fun? Specially with all those machines just sitting there.

I second, wait 3rd now, on pulling the motor. Has to be someone nearby with a picker. Dang they are under $150 new and always handy when a tractor won't fit.

I would go with the 285/295 75 17s in the cooper STT. Once you go past 17's the prices go crazy.

Cooler may not be a bad idea. Lifetime make a 50qt cooler now that is just $97 at wally. Might fit in there just right and even uses a hose fitting for the drain (yep, been eyeing them) Couple blocks of ice, some jugs and you are good for a week. Blocks are easy to find and can freeze the jugs when you get a tel for a shower and such. Plus you have all that extra water on tap   

Keep the uptop load simple and light. Store all the chairs and such inside when you drive, can always take em out when you sleep.

Do the front seats fully recline?

Mission Creep, was there ever a doubt 

That is still pretty good either way. You do have the time of cutting and moving wood too, but as you said it is a trade off.

Sorta the way with solar here. Getting better but I spent 18k putting it in, got $6k back on taxes (not a write off) and with just using gas now (cooking. heating, hot water) my winter bill is $125, summer les than $60. Then with the true up (what you use over producing) I pay about another $100 a month. Now they have a new rate setup too where power will be the most expensive from 1600-2000. Just right for the high use AC people. Now I only have a 4k system that pretty much works from 0900 to 1900, but adding another 4K this year on the southwest side that will catch all the late afternoon and more winter sun.

Are you getting a second battery for the fridge? That will draw all night. My little seat cooler killed my batteries in a day!

As for mileage, I had 285's on mine and got 16mpg driving 65mph like a baby. Hope the mods help with that.
3 maybe 4 can sleep inside if you must. Hvae you done the front seat mod for full reclining? 10 min job.

Go synthectic rope on the winch, good weight savings there. Plus you can always double up the line for pulling power with a good snatch rope/strap making up for the length. (Nate)

Redding, you drove right past me coming down 5!!

Wait, a motel wants your $$ but you can't park there, or is it the boat?

Saw this bill yesterday. Very little chance it will ever get further and they will not be even close to a vote in the senate.

If they get full control like here in Ca, we are in deep trouble!

Both work for me fine.

You mean those programs are real and not scripted!!!!

That looked fake, to easy and cry on demand.

But overall I agree,

 

Got all the little framing done for the upstairs bath done, cept some shimming one wall when I rock.

Love the old conventional Petes, SS is by far better than chrome, just needs TLC.

When I did that we had several V12's with straight pipes.

Funny I just watched Blackdog last night!

The whole truck needs a good shining up. It's been a couple years. Farm life is hard on them.

Did SOD for a couple years, then it was beer. Sort of both sides.

9K is a lot, no matter what. Did they do a fair job though?

I can see not hauling the trash away. But no tools or doing the little things is not a complete job. I could see odd tool or other little thing but it sounded like, " I want them done and out"!


Tate, 2200 is OK for a 6ltr, but not great. I paid 2k for a 5.3/trans and ecm few years ago when they were not as easy to get.

Have you checked with your insurance and giving them the story? They may cover it then go after jiffy lube, was it?

Gruber, from Czech, Norway, Denmark area? Family in Minnesota?

Ouch, 5.3? Those are pretty cheap but don't all Denali's have the 6.0/2?

Where is my popcorn emoji....

Mission creep has begun....

Just a normal fluid change,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Suppose if you think about it....the engines is almost out now anyway true?  Cam change,degree the cam/proper oil pan gasket replacement, and maybe a look see at the bearings.....you said you were going to put a converter in it anyway....its a LS you can bet it needs new rods. Just thinking out loud here. 

You know Don he is right. What 12 bolts and its out? Torque convert which was on the table anyway. No pan leak, easier assembly,,,,,,,,,,

Don, that fire extinguisher is a bit or lots too small to be effective by the time you get to it.

Ah man!

I have a 2.5 Halon under the center seat and a 2.5 standard in the bed. Love Halon, just getting $$$.

I had to pull the rad, condenser and cut the rad support open on spartan

Sounds like a nice drive, hitting a few parks too?

Nebraska, doesn't some OLD guy live out there?

We spent really little time there. Road bikes in the AM, skiing when hot, drinking and pool at night, seemed the border patrol liked to chase me, never caught me.

I made my own set for the elky about 20 years ago.  1in is all, billet and had some crazy weight back there (cummins). Knock, knock.

Watches were getting to be a big thing at work when I left (BIG), I just use my phone.

I do like knowing altitude though, don't know why.
