Well another rally in the books (this is my fourth year of hosting rallys). Again, I want to thank everyone who came to the First Delaware Rally. For everyone who went down to the little coastal town of Lewes DE for the rally's "seek and find" I am sure you all had a blast. The pix(s) were...

) Fireworks. Oh this is going to be good. Remember Iam only the driver!

The old dodge is all fueled up and I gave it a nice wash yesterday. Looking real good, maybe I can make a nice deal

Like they say "six men standing are more powerful then eight men laying down" let the good old coal roll!

I like the "just put fuel in it and go". I seems so much simpler then worrying about another tank to keep full. The old dodges rule!

I searched around and the place Duane purchased his http://www.trailertiresandwheels.com/ had the best package. Call them and they will work up the deal. Very nice people to work with, was able to have them ship directly to the freight depot. Everything on a pallet for easy pickup. Very...

The xps ribs (LT235/85R16) have a maximum speed rating of 75 mph. The XTA 215/75R17.5 have a maximum speed rating of 62 mph. So I slow down a little, not a bad thing. However the good thing, the XTA,s are rated to carry an additional 1763 pounds of weight. That is an addition of 3.5 tons...

Bob I replaced the set of Michelin XPS ribs that I purchased back in 2005. The XPS ribs are a good tire and I have not had any problems with them. I plan to reuse them on my car trailer. The overall diameter of the XTA's are a little over an inch smaller, however they don't flatten out...

Looks real good Jamie, simple and functional, I like that. I may need to up grade the method I use. I have a nice pair of work gloves that I put on and I just go pick the hitch up.

Duane I have been busy moving. I will post some pix at a later time I promise. Now that the time change, I may actual see the house in the daytime. CPL0199 The ground control is a four point setup, all electric and it bolts on (not welded). Yes, I installed the system, not real hard to...

Hey, Jim I have a 24 inch industrial bandsaw that would cut the 4 x 4 with no problem. I made all my wheel chocks etc. I am in Delaware now, so come over and we will cut twice and measure .....

Wheels and Tires Well, my replacement tire were getting a little old (purchased new in 2005). So decided to jump up to 17.5's and add some "J" rated rubber. Real nice wheels and tire combo. Now come on summer, I can not wait to see how they handle.

Did I hear the words "Shady Maple"

Did I read the word PIE. I really like PIE!!!!

Hey, honey how much does all those T shirts weight? We may need to take something out of equal weight for the trip to DE. Maybe the food? (I don't believe I said the word food)

I thought the larger the shirt more writing can go on it. Isn't that the goal?

Re: What's for Dinner? Sounds really good, I will be ready with the rolls for some tasty sandwichs

It looks like I am going to need to chain up all four wheels on the old dodge to pull the horn out. Got the chains out tonight and ready for the big pull tomorrow.

Installed the unit on mine the other year by myself. It can be done, and is not that hard. Have some drift pins ready to hold the unit in the vertical position, then swing it up in place. Oh, lift some weights for a week or so before to get ready for the task.

Yes, great day, even got to use my newest modification to the old dodge, a pull down step to lessen the strain entering and exiting the bed of the truck. I normally just use the rear drive wheel as a step, but since the 19.5 wheels, 35 inch tall tires, and one year older, etc. I needed to do...

Thanks for all the bday wishes everybody. Truknut you,re normally the first one, Deb beat you to the punch. At the beach having a great time. See you next weekend Deb and John

Go with Maxbrake

Bring her over and we will get-er-done, I have a sawsall waiting to cut metal!

To add to the fun of having a leveling system, I design and fab a set of channel iron to add additional side to side bracing. Now the old camper in rock solid. This reinforcing adds to the OEM I beam frame and gives a real nice solid foundation. The slides operate real smooth, great...

John You are on the mark, just remove some material on the reico switch and it fit right into the original switch holder. I ran mind across the table saw and redrilled the hole and it looks like factory. What height did you set the rear jacks in the retract position?

Oh I did miss one real good use for this item and that is squirting nearby campers when they are making bacon

Yes truknutt that would be it

I use my all the time. It is great for putting water on the camp fire before retiring for the night. Also for washing off the mud and sand at the camp site. You can buy an adapter that fits the quick disconnect and has a MPT for a standard hose. Also great when dry camping, allows you to...

Having a Rail pressure gauge and Fuel pressure gauge really helps keep an eye on the CP3 pump and the injectors operation. A must with these common rail (CR) diesels. Also run a 2 micron (CAT) final filter is a must with the today's fuels.

I max out at 1000*F EGT after all the tuning mods. Not bad for the old dodge. High EGTs can really kill an engine. In stock form they run hot, too hot.

The Reico is a great system. Easy to install and operate. I always go by the bolt torque on the rated bolt chart not by the installation papers provided with the equipment. Fast and easy to use, and the great thing is the ability to raise and lower the pin while in the truck during the...

Hey Dave You will not need the fount pads when you upgrade to the Reico ground control.

I believe your were blinded by the light, honey Legend Bill40, The light is packed and ready for the camping season, bring your dark glasses

I believe the event (the story) happen at the first PA rally, few years ago. It is a good story, and still talked about. So signup for the last 11 sites and hear the legends of Bill40. P.S. Bill, do you need a flashlight to tell the story around the camp fire? I know of one you could...
