    I know you were, I've met @skootertrashr6 going around Baltimore twice, he never waved or replied when I hollered at him on the radio either.

    In case you're wondering he's doing good, I keep in touch with him. He's a good nut.

    I will Definitely look you up when I get back that way.

    I passed @scootertrash in AZ last year and he yelled out but my truck and trailer are pretty easy to recognize

    I'd like more info on that switch if you can provide it. We've got a older Spicer 1241p auxiliary that's 4 speed air shifted. The original switch was a knob that you changed out on the main stick but you can't find them anymore and I don't have one. If I could retrofit the switch in the pic to work I'd be set.

    Have you looked into the DT planetary hubs? I drove a truck with them and they sure are nice. I don't know what they cost but I bet they aren't cheap.

    The only down side is I don't think you can shift them while in motion. The truck I drove had the air switch mounted on the frame, when I asked the owner about it he said it was there the keep drivers from switching it while moving.

    Hoping for a build date near the end of the year.

    No on the planetarys. Already at budget or over ....

    Well you could very possibly forgo the auxiliary if you went with the DT hubs. The thing I like about them is they take all the extra stress of low gearing and move it right to where the wheels attach.
