That was the best one I've ever done. Most of the time the bracket gets twisted or bent like a banana. That was my first 90 degree bend. You get better at it over time.
and my buddy will be along in the Camo 931 
I got tired of the pigtails. Once they bend, you're done and also I believe, or at least my theory is, that the bouncing around that the pig tails allow contributes to the flaps getting caught up in the tires. So, I cut the pig tails off and bent the metal to reflect the 4" of depth the pigtails added. Tonight they get primed, this weekend they get paint and next week I'll mount them and post a picture.
I started off the day by replacing the injection pump on my Crown of Thorns M1009. Then I decided I needed to drive some of the over treated diesel fuel out of the tank. So there is nothing like a trip to Rausch Creek. We got there about an hour before sunset and it was very dead at the off road park. Not much activity. So I decided to do some flex on the ramp. I also included the rules of the park picture for your information. I had a full tank of semi contaminated fuel and during the cold week and big snow storm I was having problems with the truck running. I added a quart of 911 fuel additive and a qt of Howes fuel additive. And a helpful friend came and added a qt of straight power service and some other additive. At this point I think it has to much additives and want to get some straight diesel fuel into it. No more of the contaminated fuel. it was great while it lasted but I am not chancing it any more. I will probably take a trip up tomorrow also just for a road trip. It seems like the M1009 is getting a 100 MPG when i don't want it to. I hope you guys are getting your rigs ready. Good Luck and be safe.
Yep - no pallet burning at RC. Sorry, if you can bring other junk lumber with no nails in them that would be just fine.
I will bring my magnet and check all the wood. If I see any nails we will extinguish the fire immediately. LOL. I understand no skids. But some of the wood i have may have some nails in it. Not as many as a skid. Don't bring it? It is getting easier. I can just bring rubber mudflaps and HMMWV run flats.
Best way to camp. Unhook your trailer and you're good to go. All your gear stays back at the camp site and nothing gets damaged or messed up. I have the 931 and m1101 on the far right.
Come on, man! If I'm driving my 5 ton from Chicago, you should be able to make it in a M1008 from Connecticut! (I'm just ribbin' ya)
