Yeah, I do most of my short overnights to fish at the N. Fish Pass jetty (S of Port-A inside the Mustang Island State Park). PINS is for when I'm feeling more adventurous (but it's a full tank of fuel down and back, which has been a wee bit more expensive the past four years).
Nice
So you pushed all the way to Mansfield jetties. That's as far off the beaten trail as you can travel on the Island (no 7/11's down there, not even a fresh water source, you're on you own beyond the occasional Park Ranger patrol and shark fisherman's camp). For those that don't know that's...
Yep. I had on on my M1078 and I have one in my M1082 trailer.
Some rattle can camo and it's ready for an NSN....
;)
For the truck I made a 4"x4" drop-in so it could be moved to any one of the four corner posts (that's what they are for).
Total cost is about $250 after paint.
Or...
I have a strict "don't ask don't tell" policy when it comes to such legalities as CDLs.
And as to brakes, couldn't you just cage 'em and not use the air brakes. ;)
*not like I've really done that several times but I have a Jake brake
Forecast was for some dry air with lows in the 70's and highs in the 90's for a week so I loaded up Monday and spend four days, three nights surf fishing.
Got a blacktip each day and reds were running Tuesday.
Ran out of beer or I'd have stayed another night. LOL
Three days, two nights, case of Dos Equis, a 12 pack of Coors light, case of Gatorade, 20 gal fresh water, four hamburgers, dozen eggs, assorted fixin's. Several buddies stopped by to hang out over the course of the adventure (I live 12 minutes from here).
Up a cooler full of finger...
Typically, I don't do the beach on holiday weekends (fucking tourists). But this afternoon a buddy came by with pizza and beer on his way out to fish and I had a load of brush to burn already on the trailer so we rolled to my "secret spot".
Landed two Black Tip the first 30 minutes. This...
iirc there is about 24" to be reclaimed between cab and what would normally be the end of the tire mount (on a M1078/M1079, not sure the total on the 6x6 with the cooler)
I've seen that number posted before on a couple of builds. @coachgeo may have that number as well. If no one posts it...
Towed a family off the JFK bridge tonight. I was coming home from an afternoon/evening at the beach. About 21:00 I was headed home off the island going over the bridge and there was a car in the inside lane (of two) broken down just shy of the apex. **** load of tail lights whipping around...
SOP. Towed a car out of the sand today. Pretty much every day at the beach I get 1-5 people come ask me or flag me down for a recovery. It's actually worse when there is almost no one out there on the weekdays (fewer trucks running around to pull folks out). The big fun is late at night at...
