    Seems like everyone but me has a Conestoga. I screwed up. :(
    Pretty sure I'm going to remedy that before the year is out though.

    I’ll have a week or so where I think about putting my side kit on or buying a connestoga, but then I’ll be 1500 miles from home and “need” my open deck. As long as I’m physically able, I’ll just keep with the stupid tarps lol. If I wanted to do a dedicated run it would make sense, but I just don’t care for doing the same thing every day.

    Well boys, I sent it just a little too hard! 20210515_113346.jpg
    Bruised and bloody. Ripped up both forearms pretty good. Tore a brake line too so off to the bike shop I guess. Best part is I got it on video!

    My thing is....seems like everywhere I load, I'm the only one without a Conestoga. Then my tarps get torn up because of all the sharp edges everywhere. Even though I pad the crap outta it. I haven't done a load yet except for 1, that wouldn't fit under a Conestoga. I could care less about tarping. It's just a time suck. All the time I spend tarping, untarping, and repairing tarps....could be better spent.

    She cleans up pretty good. Need to take her to get polished. I don’t know how to do it properly, nor have the patience.

    Just buy a buffer and goto town. The first time kinda sucks, but easy after that. Truck looks good though. Which 5th wheel is that? I have alot of slop in my slider. Going to do slider and 5th wheel this fall prolly.

    It the Holland Grease-less, all aluminum. It’s really nice, I’ve had it for almost two years. Works best if you pull the same wagon.
