Those bunks are a great plan.
And it's funny but I can't quite tell, but is your son wearing a Miner's Lamp for some reason?

Haha, no. I use bungee balls to secure the rear flap. That's just hanging down.

Picked up new stainless hardware today for the data plates and reflectors on the M105. Tomorrow the bunks should be all framed in. I'll get decks measured for them, but then it's time for figure out electrical before closing everything in. I ordered up a bunch of 1x1 square plugs for the holes that are on each side of the trailer. Today rained pretty good and no water inside! WOOHOO!

Converted the trailer from green camo to tan. put some plywood under the cover on the roof. Water would still collect up there, so I ran a couple of pool noodles under the cover to create a peak on my trailer roof. No more water!

Now that's REALLY using the old noodle. Good thinking.

Used the truck in a parade sunday. I manage the paintball field at a local Family Entertainment Center. So they threw a huge human hamster ball in the back of the deuce! We also have a tiki bar we were promoting, so she got a hula skirt too.

Installed my lighted license plate frame. Found that all my connectors at my taillights were dry rotted and cracked. Picked up new ones at Iola.....still waiting with all the other parts to be installed. Hopefully after the last two parades this week I can have time to work on her. HUGE pile of parts to go on.

A buddy and I out playing in the dirt.
Our mean old guard dog on watch.
Had just recently picked up the trailer.

The trailer got painted. Also got all new stainless hardware for plates and reflectors.
Installed the old plywood roof to keep water from pooling. Noticed that water would still pool up, so I ran a pool noodle down the center to give it a "peak."
At my work's truck shop getting brand new air lines installed. $38 for both lines with glad hands......not too shabby.

Went to put my bows on and I notice that a couple of my uprights are shorter than the others!? I will probably just drill and put a bolt in to keep them at the proper height. Question though, I have two different style uprights. I have mostly the green fiberglass ones. But I have 2 that are metal, and only about 1.5 feet tall. They slide into the pockets, but then bulge out where they are supposed to stop. Anyone know what the time/application was for these? I haven't seen them before otherwise. I'll try to get pictures tomorrow.
Otherwise, a buddy picked up an M977 HEMTT. Took the deuce over to visit, and check that baby out. Yup, I think I need one in my life.

Installed the convoy beacons yesterday. Still need the switch for them. Also, still need to paint the poles. Mainly, installed them to get them out of the shed so it's less stuff to move when the house sells. Anyone have a switch handy?

Those twin beacons look good; what kind of post did you mount them on?
