    So expensive up front though... Haha

    Definitely will be the largest purchase I probably ever make for the truck when the time comes.

    Hard to wheel when you always work on weekends when people want to plan stuff! Haha

    Also, doubtful I'll be able to make the trip now... :pout:

    Stupid manning issues during the first week of August. But of course nearly every other week is good :rolleyes:

    As far as I know August 1-3 was pretty set for Shoshone/Goose Lake.

    If it was centered around me being able to make it then I had no clue haha

    Well find some new dates if possible and run it by us. Chances are we can get a weekend for you. I am pretty much free and it seems most the other guys have weekends off.

    Yeah, I'll look into it.

    I only glanced real quick at the other weeks on the schedule, but if memory serves everything else was pretty clear.

    Got to talk with one of my bosses at work first to see if he can do about getting me the original date off anyways. He usually is pretty awesome at getting things like this done for people that work hard. The whole scratch my back I'll scratch yours, you know? Haha

    Sucks though, because I was going to ask him yesterday but of course he's not coming into work this week :rolleyes:

    Yes major factor no doubt..but he does break stuff :laugh: love him though. Just took him to the airport so I'm on my own now.

    Yea I'm liking them too. I used to just do my iPad and upload live as I went. But now I have to be picky and import and light edit and Flickr hahaha think it's worth it though.

    Rather then a bolt you could try a nut, weld the inside, might be stronger. I helped another member get his off by welding a bolt on, what we had to do was build up the weld on one side and then used vice grips to break it loose.

    Hell I had an air fun on it and nothing happened. Before the welded bolt I had the Allen key with a 3' pry bar and nothing.

    Fucker is on there tight. Probably leave it till tomorrow though. I have work at 6am haha
