Well I recovered my first purchase on Friday at Blount Island.
WOW...my eyes could not believe all the "new equipment" there, as well as the surplus.

I was truly in awe of the MV and fire power that is there:not worthy:

The trip back was a little wet, I towed the trailer behind my F-250.
As it would be the ground wire (trailer lights) was too short to ground to the trailer. Thus no lights....found a harbor freight on Beach Street and remedied that (in the pouring rain).

I think I can safely say there may be a deuce in the future, the wife really likes them:grin:.

Pics up soon...gotta find the mini usb cable to down-load.

Good deal Richard, glad it went well. Tires were all up and OK?

Tires were perfect, no problems.
I have to figure a way to level the trailer behind the F-250.
New trailer rims an dtires or new truck tires and rims.
I already know what the check book says...raise the hitch or drop the pintle:oops:

Raising the hitch would certainly be cheaper and easier. Could probably find a 33" tire for the exsiting rims or I may be able to lay my hands on a standard width 8 lug axle to accept any conventional wheel/ tire combo. Let me know! Don't forget those pics.
