Bring your wallet and come get it. One thing that really impressed me with this one is that there's no weld at the kink on the gooseneck. It's built the right way, not the easy way.

Nah, you need a 220 Volt unit for a BOOM.

Exactly! That's how I ended up with 16 trailers, and would still like to have a few more. Then again, I really should sell the 25-foot aluminum gooseneck, the home built light tandem axle made especially for my flatfender Jeep, and maybe even the extra low overall height enclosed V-nose...well...

Yeah, in your case it'd probably be hard for a rock to find its way into the intake tract even without any filtration. I also run both filters, and in a fairly dust free area, but good filtration (be it for air or fluids) certainly can't hurt.

A friend that lives nearby has a few, so that could be arranged. If we pay for the ammo I'm sure he'd be happy to partake in putting some Michelins out of their misery. And you know I don't have video capabilities. Okay, there's a video button on my camera, so it has them. I don't. Speaking of...

I only have two that are damaged at this point, but since I still run Michelins on all but one FLU chances are good I'll have more wounded ones by spring. What caliber would you prefer for the shootout? Not that it really matters as long as it's above .22 shorts.

Oh no! Please say it isn't so. How on earth will you know if the filter gets dirty? Look at it?!?

Good one, corelokt! Coincidentally, I've been reading up on intake air density recently, and it bugs me when even Banks' web site calls a charge air cooler "intercooler". Thankfully, Gale still refers to them by their correct name in conversation.

Here's where we get back to the regularly scheduled trailer programming, Ahab. I know what you're saying about loading and unloading a non-deckover, Dan. This morning I ordered 84-inch fork extensions because of one. In theory that should allow loading a cabover camper onto an 18' gooseneck...

Hmm, things must've changed in the last couple of years. I had to have an MRI, couldn't really take the 1,000-mile trip to CA (where I was insured at the time) and went to a local outfit. They said "If you're paying cash, you get a rebate." I asked them if a credit card counted as cash, they...

Dan, thinking about this last night a few thoughts surfaced. I couldn't help but compare my most recent trailer purchase with the $4,000 you mentioned for a new trailer. I ordered a '17 PJ 30-foot gooseneck, with tandem duals, disc brakes, air suspension, "black wood" decking, custom color, and...

Good point, Ahab. I better do it while the ACA is still in effect, huh? More importantly, Dan, please make sure that your tetanus shot is current.

Not having consulted the excellent chart of General Hood fame, if I understand you correctly, peakbagger, all that circuit accomplishes is to turn on an indicator light - which tells you that you have moved a lever. If all the light switches are in the correct position to allow the indicator...

Those look like manly tires. I never came across them while searching for something suitable for a SEE, but now I have to look up the specs for those Pirellis. After I recently bought two sets of tires, of course. With any luck the weather will cooperate today and allow fixing the air leaks in...

Maybe someone has a photo of a charge air cooler? (Sorry, corelokt, couldn't resist).

Alright, didn't realize that they were so pricey in your neck of the woods, Dan. I most definitely can relate to the having built-it-myself feeling, which is worth a lot in itself. But when you're only reusing the springs (if I understand things correctly), I thought you'd be time and money...

Alright, I'm amazed. You could say that I have a trailer fetish, having lots of them and like building, modifying, and towing them. But what I don't understand here is why you're spending so much time on something that apparently requires more money just in material, axles, springs, etc. than...

Hard to guess what to recommend, really. All we know is that it's a CUCV of some sort, in Louisiana. Maybe it is running hot, maybe it isn't.

If the radiator, and the rest of the cooling system, is in good shape, please consider a better fan setup. It's almost hard to go wrong with properly sized and shrouded Spal electric fans. For what it's worth, I drove my Banks turbo'd M1009 with 35-inch tires and stock 3.08s for a while, in...

How many thousands larger is the OD above the serrations? If you already have the 610-283 studs, why not spend a few minutes on the lathe machining them down to correct size?
