The journey begins - purchased a truck.

I haven't even unrolled them, but by fancy i mean mid range. Light weight material on the sides, but normal thick vinyl on the top. I've seen those kevlar ones you are talking about but way to pricey for me.

 

Now have them section it front to back!!!! Lol

Actually I use two homemade 4' drop tarps. One is 13' the other is 16' long. The 13' has a flap the 16' no flap. Covers all but one tarp load I have hauled this year and I think I'm at 11 so far.

They are not bad when they are that small. I Cary 1 27' lumber tarp with 4' sides also but that's it. These poor buys that only Cary 8' tarps for everything. Ugggg!

 

Anybody want to buy 8' tarps?

 

?????????????????????????

 

Now we're talkin!!!! So much for those tarps you repaired! Dose it stretch out to 70' too?

 

While everyone wonders about Blair's new trailer I'll report about my new motor.
First load with at about 500 miles it started missing. Acted like a fuel filter plugging up but fuel pressure was good. Got load off and went to my shop. Thought it was sucking air so replaced some old hoses with no luck. After many talks with the engine builder they were wanting me to bring it to them, I was tired and did not want to spend the time and money to drive to Springfield.
The owner finally said if I would bring it to him he would give me $1000 for my expenses.
I bobtailed up that night, 7 am they opened it up and found a roller on a rocker arm had broke. ( brand new part from Detroit)
Had to replace the cam as it was hammered.
They took me to a motel to spend the day, they paid.
They brought me back to the shop about 3 pm as they were finishing changing the oil, owners son can out and handed me a $1000 check and I drove it home.
Never been treated like that for warranty repairs in my life, needless to say I would recommend them to anyone needing a Detroit overhaul or complete motor.

 

I think I'll make it over that way when it's time for my inframe. Nobody can be perfect every time but it's how a company handles the screwups that sets them apart. They sound like they are top notch
