How is that possible unless you feed her?

Making a person lose weight is hard...a dog is easy...you just control the amount of food and frequency

Do you exercise the dog or does she lay around and sleep a lot?

Alright alright...lemme go find something to take pictures of ....sheesh

The old awning was apparantly ripped off at some point...I removed this in case I want to put a new one on.....Its a ten footer awning channel and awnings are usually 7 feet wide...thats a big awning.

THe previous owner lost the key to the step door so he had been using a screwdriver to open and close it

THe aluminum is cleaning up nice....and look at that canvas!! It IS actual Carhart material....pretty cool.

Underside starting to look better

She's gettin there...

Sweet, get a wider axle, some fender flares and slap some 35's on it.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #71 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 04:08:11 PM »

Only if you forget to lower it and take it out of the garage, or should I say try and take it out.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #72 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 04:11:26 PM »

Yea Im gonna get em wired up.....I had some mag mount ones on top for now....I did get one side to work and the liscense plate light when I plugged it into my truck

Jordan7118 · « **Reply #76 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 04:20:49 PM »

I meant BRAKES, not BRAKE LIGHTS

Is that what I see on those drum brakes?

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. You see the two wires? Are those for e-brakes?

DTB · « **Reply #78 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 04:24:06 PM »

oh right..those.....yea i am pretty sure they work ok...I took em apart and cleaned em up.......i just dont have a brake controller and am not even sure if I need them

Jordan7118 · « **Reply #79 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 04:30:07 PM »

Ahhhhh... I c...

how about you add a shackle in your suspension on that pig? it should help with the

that always happens in a 70s rig like that.

the two wires are not ebrake, they are electric trailer brakes, one is hot, the other is ground, goes to the frame.

It's a "slipper style" leaf spring....seems to work pretty well for what it is.. The end of the spring slides back and forth in a mount when it flexes

also...by "ebrake" he really meant "electric brake"

We'll see how she tows first...

Duffil · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 09:44:35 PM »

oh that pic must be taken from the back then. I am familiar with that spring setup just couldn't tell that's what it was.

DTB · « **Reply #83 on:** Jan 13, 2009, 05:17:22 PM »

I made this homemade tire leveler out of 1 x 8"

I aint no carpenter but it still turned out ok....

I picked up this cheap awning.....

Should match with my new paint scheme too..

I also started disassembling the lock and rebuilding the door where the previous owner had mangled it.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #84 on:** Jan 13, 2009, 05:46:50 PM »

Your leveler is too dang long. My motorhome has shorter ones than that and has a much larger contact area.

It's really not that long....each section is just under 12" long....its about 3 feet long total

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #86 on:** Jan 13, 2009, 05:54:52 PM »

My entire leveler is about half of yours. Each step is just long enough for my tread patch.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #88 on:** Jan 13, 2009, 06:34:26 PM »

Take the 1st step off and shove one between the 2nd and 3rd, that should be perfect.
