There are several dump conversion threads on here. I think there was one where they went into detail about the hinge point. I'll see if I can find it.

I know right where you are! You are about an hour north of me. Good luck with your trucks and your dump conversion. If you want to come and look at mine you are welcome to do so.

Welcome! Where in IA? Glad to see a few new Iowa members come on here lately!

I would be interested. However, spring is crazy busy for me until mid-june. Keep posting your updates. Thanks!

Those are cool! I can see why you would want as much of the rootball as possible.

Super cool. If you guys have to navigate this terrain like this, how are they getting the windmill structures in? I know those blades can be 200 ft long.

This guy sounds awesome. I hate to see us losing that generation. Glad you got to move that plane.

Nice! Am very jealous! :drool::drool::drool:

Kent, I like your story. Welcome aboard. I can guarantee that we will all want to see pictures of your Jeep. Post early and often!
