    Good Price?

    I agree with Lavarock. The price is fair--especially if it has a top.

    pimp my ride (er trailer?)

    Tongue weight really isn't a problem. The duece box is really light sheet metal. Even with several chains in the box the trailer tows nice and straight--even empty.

    M1102 behind a pickup

    Could someone post a photo of an M1102 behind a civy pickup truck? I am contemplating buying one of these trailers and want to see if it's a practical trailer for a 3/4 ton truck. These are shorter right? Do they tow well? Last question. Are these beginning to be released to the public in...

    OMG not a nother bobber.

    Welding with ear protection?

    Same thing happened to me too. ER doc told me that it's a very common injury. I always wear earplugs now. Doh!

    Gainesville Fl

    Shannon, Gainesville is a common place for retirees. I am not too familiar with offroading areas, but I'm sure they are few and far between here--especially compared with California. I'd like to see that C30 of yours. Steve
