    I forgot to share what happened Friday whole at the CB shop... There was a black Pete on my left and a white KW on my right in the lot.. a Volvo turns into the driveway and thinks it's a smart idea to drive in the grass leading to a house? Not sure what this dude was thinkin.. he barely spoke English asked me and the other 2 if we would pull him out.. he sunk way in told him no not tearing my #### up for that. Common sense is really gone out here.

    Dubs CB shop is great. You also get to spend time with this sweet heart.

    Verizon doesn’t distinguish between tethering and hotspot. They limit both tethering and hotspot to 10GB on the unlimited plan but you can go beyond that, it just limits you down to 3G speeds. I’m not sure if using a third parry tethering app will get you around that limitation or not as I have never used tethering.

    well if its from your phone they both do the same thing lol. Thats why i got a JetPack 22GB then before they can start throttling you. My jetpack is a little over 300GB now.

    I went with 13'6". If I just ran west coast I would have gone 14 but I run national.

    Yep. Unless you got some dedicated gig you know is going to last years, don't go higher than 13' 6"

    Edit to add: if you aren't running low pro22s on both the truck and trailer switching to them will save you 2 inches.

    Yeah I'm already running low pros. My trailer has a 60" arch at the highest point, making me just a little to tall for the 102" kit. I can still get a 100" kit, knocks me down to 8' 4", guess that will have to be good enough.

    Mine was custom made. All points on the trailer were measured and then it was designed to keep me at 13'6". I have a low 5th wheel so I got the 101 1/2" H. But now I can't put fenders on. I mention that so you know to make sure you have your truck set the way you want BEFORE maxing out your trailer. Once it's made you are stuck with it.

    I was going to tease you in the tread you posted this but thought better of it.

    I figured the smart ones would read my post about the valley, take a look see at the board and find there way here. Now that we got you out of the house lets get some cheesecake.
