Enjoy!
 
Aww, I was hoping to see pictures of Will's rig rolling in there looking like the Beverly Hillbillies.... :idiot:
 
Will didn't bring his rig. He just played in the dirt at sparkz place.
 
SO I heard. Fixing a road.

Truck's looking good Mark. The paint tuned out great.:icon_hornsup:

Thanks joel, I was going to go with olive drab paint but ran out of time so I just got the spray can camo paint and went at it. Good enough, matches in with the woods!:headbang:
 
Here's a couple:

We didn't get any good ones of me climbing Pinball or of Mark and I going up the real rocky trail. I can't remember the trail name because I cant find the map for some reason....
 
looks like fun.....looks like a place i might have taken my truck...
 
I meant this rig:
I got it all in there like the picture except the hoe and the B2 were turned around backwards. I towed the hoe onto the trailer, then unhooked it and used the winch on the trailer with the cable run under the B2 to pull it up tight. The wheels of the hoe were about haldway on the trailer and the bucket hung 6' off the back. No problem, I strapped it down. The Bobcat went into the bed but I had to reinfoce my 8' ramps. The 5' steel ramps were too scary.

The theory and the practice turned out to be two different things. With a skidsteer in the bed of the truck and a 4,200# B2 run all the way forward on the trailer, it was getting up there in tongue weight. I drove it around here no problem but even with a 170" wheelbase the steering was a little light. I could handle it okay though. But that wasn't the real problem.

The real problem was the amazing amount of camping stuff that started appearing--2 coolers, the generator, tools, 2 ATVs, that circus tent, sleeping bags, lawn chairs, water cans, fuel cans, winter coats, 25 sets of clothes for each of 4 kids--I don't know what it all was but it easily filled the bed of the truck and the footwell area in front of the rear seat. It was tough enough at that point just getting the hoe and loader and the quads--all of which I knew would get extensive use.
