    4FAEC961-3C13-4FC6-B555-619732B95EE4.png Courtesy of a Spotter at Target Galesburg Mi. All 4 went back to normal, so I dropped the claim. Took a week off. While adding a few extra crossmembers, I noticed the welds on the whole right side rail were all broken. Paid $350 to have it welded back together. A week later, all the welds broke. Right now, as is, it’ll make a good storage Trailer. Either way, it’s pretty much worthless at this point.

    cracked front head, dumped fuel into the oil, started loosing oil pressure, sounds like I might get lucky and get away with just a head and not have wiped out then bottom end but I’ll know for sure later today,

    Eh Getting pissed off isn’t going to make it cost less or magically fix it so not much else I can do, 5 weeks ago my biggest worry was the tax man, think we’re going to be good for write offs this year now
