I'm on as well, trail rides, that's my style. Don't really make much of a mess so I don't do that cleaning up, but trail rides [thumbzup].
Now I just need to get myself back down from N. Nev :driver:
This is our "low tech" way of doing that.
The legs just rest on the lip, they fit nice between the holders/lift points/wheelwell. Then just hold it up, and back, w/ some tie-down straps.
When we take off the front, for the other side, we can walk through from the 109 all the way off the end...
About time. I've been waiting for this one.
Haven't forgotten about the trailer, I'll check back into it when I get back down there . . . still at the Black Rock.

Ok, now that I've been living in it for a little while (didn't really use it till Elise did her solo trip back down to J-Tree . . . it was the bike maintainance/repair station until then) I've got it "mocked-up" for what will be some of it's build. Not what I first thought, . . ...
We've got 4,000 on the little Draggin', and prob 4,500 or more on the She Beast, in the last year.
They've been oil burners from the day we got them.
I've dumped some bad mixes into the tank in the early days of trying to get the filter system worked out :roll: That resulted in clogged...
Thanks!
When you do, we'll be happy to take you out for some "adventuring". :wink:
I'll also be happy to help you w/ a route that's not just the Interstates from there to here.
Watching your build . . . we have three of those 146's waiting for me to start on them. They're going a slightly dif...
Three days later our camp on the Black Rock Desert looked like this,
As we watched the hoards advance,
We tightened up the camp.
After the event, and Elise's solo back to J-Tree, we were down to this,
Then this,
and finely this,
I'm now off the playa and parked at a friend's place...
The next day we parted company late morning, after checking out some maps together . . . telling what we knew of the roads behind, . . . places the other should stop.
We then headed farther north, we crossed the rez, and the "green" that is south of Fallon.
Eyeing auto shops as we rolled...
We pull 105's on every trip that is not just around base camp. Our main one is the fuel harvester, but now I'm pulling a 105 hardtop.
I'm adding water can mounts to the sides so that they are easier to see when strait. Elise is learning how to back trailers w/ a M109 / M105 combo . . . as if...
Don't know why, but we have that going on as well. Was going to post up at some point and ask . . . guess I don't need to now :)
This is the axle / wheel set-up on my M105A2 Hardtop.
All our other 105's look normal.
Coaldale, being what you saw in the background, offered us nothing other than a place to park away from the road . . . and a great place to think about zombies.
Later that night we were approached by a insistent hitchhiker, we ended up giving in and taking him along.
He was/is skin and...
Did some painting before taking it out,
W/ the top up, . . .and down in travel mode.
In set-up mode,
As you can see . . . ran out of paint before I was done :(
Some of the last mods before the trip,
Added another fill, w/ valves, to the potable water tanks. Now each tank has it's own fill and vent line.
We also moved the "cheater bar", it was getting in the way of walking on the bumper to check fluids.
She then added some no-slip stuff,
And, the...
Mon we did a run back into town to look for fuel. Ended up finding some UMO and as much "bad" gas as we could hold.
After topping off her tank, and filling the tanks on the trailer, we headed back to the cove where I had left my truck. We were going to spend the night and then head north in the...
After the last post we had even more fun.
Pulling into a walmart lot to do some map checking turned into one those nights.
We were there long enough that the inside restroom sounded good. Now I'm still not shutting mine off because of the non-working alt. I leave it idle while I run inside...
