    That cabinet would be gone lol if I make the changes to it that I want it won't fit through the door, would have to rebuild the opening. Currently it clears the garage door by about 1.5 inches

    That's what I am going to need when I buy my new house a bigger garage... I am going to need a garage with a door large enough to park this inside.. I plan on moving out into the country with some property and hopefully it will shop (or I will have to build one) with a tall door... I want to make mine a little higher but not much higher otherwise it will just be impractical as a daily driver...

    I was originally in the market for a older 97-01 Dodge magnum gas motor, or 97-02 with Cummins but most were still going for same price as the Chevy gas burner and were beat to ####. And newer ones seemed to be even worse for wear. It has a 6" Fabtech lift sitting on 35's. Would eventually like to stuff 37's under it. Only other things I plan to do are cosmetic and performance

    @Rontonio & @JDP - empty? What? You both have loads of trailers! How does that pay? The guy that parks next to mine is using it for a work bench doing the brakes on his.

    The latest "request for quote" this morning- "partial" (takes up 24' of my 29' well?) OW $1700 on 1975/mi. What is is it lately with requesting a quote but telling what you will pay? Luckily I'm 1100/mi from the truck/trailer right now or I'd be tempted to roll for that kind of dough.

    First rig iron in a while, moved from greeley, co to sweetwater, ok. Bounced to kingfisher to reload for cortez co. Missed getting loaded by minutes, thought I had till noon, but everyone in shipping left at 1130. Decide to head down to okc for the rest of the weekend and be a tourist. The bottom pic is a good friend of mines set up.

    Well bounced over to Van Horn and transloaded a 336 for California.

    Guess if your going to get into heavy haul, maybe checking your equipment configuration with the states your going to travel through .......

    Anyway, headed to the Bay Area for Monday delivery.

    Uh oh...a forced repower. Did you tack on the $3000 CapableDriverGottaRepowerTheLoad Fee on top of your normal rate?

    Or did they have to buy tickets to the BigRonnie2theRescue black tie gala?
