[cus_deluxe]

I'll probably be visiting your charming little town before long. I guess Trevor hits the streets Tuesday. Hopefully at 37 he's done *frenching up.

i do wish him well. hopefully he has a chance to make things right with his kid and his family. theyve all paid every bit of the price he has for his mistakes

Absolutely.

Can't remember if I told you but Ed renovated a house in Benzonia for him. Mom said he got some machinist training while inside. So it sounds like he has a path out.

I 100% agree. Just because its legal does not me its smart or safe. We have pulled off to let cars buy in the past.

our main roads are as wide as your back roads and no berm usually
Lanes are just wide enough for tractor trailers

im glad to hear that. my sister in law is an addict, been clean for a bit over a year now. pretty sure her and trevor knew each other their chosen career paths at the time…. i can say that her mistakes have been devastating to her kids life and her mothers life. wouldnt wish that on anybody.

Can't like that.

We should probably start a roll call for this so I can get a PM going for anyone that wants plugs. Or maybe everyone still has enough?

Dudes…remind me to tell you my bicyclist story…better in person and too much to type.


So…was about to nail down some flights…scheduled my time off at work, was reminded that mon is holiday…might as well takes tues…so now I have a few days fool around getting there or touring MI…hmm. I wish the old deuce factory was still in lansing. What else is cool in the greater area? @cuinrearview

I hear prepping for gtg’s is great. Quick promotions, also. You’ll be a foreman in no time

I hear the chimps at the John Ball Zoo are dead eyes with poop.

looks like a classic Frankfart bull dyke in it’s natural habitat tew me…

problem here is we have tons of extremely narrow roads, with no paved shoulder. and these clowns like to ride 3-4 wide. i come around a corner with a truck and trailer, with oncoming traffic and theres a wall of 70 year olds in spandex blocking the fuggin road. we have MILES of beautiful bike trails and roads with nice wide shoulders. its my personal opinion that pedal bikes should not be allowed on paved roads with no shoulder.

Exactly. Stupid mfers. If we ride road, its her and I and single file only. But, its rare. In fact we put the 2.36 miles of trails on our property to stay off the road.

last I checked the law states they are to ride single file only unless they are passing. Seems like a good case for installation of a train horn on your truck Custer.

gilmore car museum

Is worth a visit. It’s about an hour (half hour if you drive like a local) south of Grand Rapids.

How much

 

[davidwyby]

2007

Good: Rust free AZ/CA. Icon/fox suspension eats up bumpies. Rock sliders n stuff. Front CVs just serviced/rebooted. I would drive it across the country, which is exactly what I’m threatening to do, ha!

230k miles

Bad: trans has shifted hard into third for the 15,000 miles I’ve had it. Maybe shift accumulator stuck. Rare for yotas to have trans trouble but I’m lucky like that. I might slap a used one in. Rear bumper messed up. Clear coat on top and rear hatch is going. Scratches from bushes. Front bumper (Demello) needs mounted more solidly. I could probably handle that. Tires rub, needs fenders trimmed…or let them rub. It was rear ended and rebuilt in ‘09…frame swap and everything.

Price I dunno. I gotta see what I still owe and what it’s “worth”. I know I’m gonna take a hit cuz it was nice when I got it. Not trying to make a killing esp. for a forum member. I’m up in the mountains now with not much signal, drove it up to recover a couple stuck in their FJ. It’s only 76 up here. So nice. Probably get details after the weekend.

delivery available!

Headlights are LED or whatever but housings are faded. I’d probably replace before I drove it out there so I don’t crash and die at night.

I would keep it forever but got hooked up with an RV trailer and need a crewcab pickemup to tow it and haul the fam.

Man that does look like a fairly nice rig! I have a soft spot for yotas. Drove around a big brown diesel I imported from Canookistan much like this one

still kicking myself in the asś for selling it. Wish I had the the extra doll hairs to seriously consider your rig. They don’t look like that around here.

It would be nice but I need another vehicle to work on like I need another hole in my head.
Try this on the headlights works great
