    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    I have a rack that I use to haul 3 dirt bikes in the bed and still use my fold up tonneau cover. I use it for mt bikes too. I lightly use my dirt bike straps on the handle bars. Obviously wouldn’t work with carbon bars. It’s not the most convenient but it does work. I’d do tailgate pad...

    Pessimist Prime? A cabover crawler hauler

    UPDATE! Ha. Psyche. It’s still sitting in North Dakota waiting for me. Life has been nuts the last 2 months. Culminating in the passing of my Grammie. Funeral was today. The plan was to go get it this week. Wednesday is mine and chars 20th anniversary. Apparently she didn’t...

    I guess he is done working on it, but not done playing with it. 🤣 Decided to load his rig up for a test

    Shane is done with what he wanted to do. Obviously it was more than I was expecting. Now I just need to go get the thing

    Pessimist Prime? A cabover crawler hauler

    Progress slowed a little. Shane made these stacks for a cab over he was building a few years ago. He ended up selling it with the stock stacks so these have been sitting. Another smoking deal and they are currently being installed. I will most likely cut them down a foot or two He...

    Well said Chad. I’ve struggled with how to put my thoughts into words on this and I better not even try. But that covers it pretty dang well

    Pessimist Prime? A cabover crawler hauler

    Quite a bit happened today! He was able to take it for a drive. Everything seems good. Temp held around 190. Oil pressure isn’t high but it is normal for this engine. He said it goes down the road good at 80. That makes me happy. Head wind slowed it down a little. I can’t...

    Pessimist Prime? A cabover crawler hauler

    Shane is slowly tinkering with the truck. He got the good used steer tires put on and even gave the wheels a hill billy half ass polish. He said they need sanded and he ain’t got no time for that. Haha. So much better. Then he said he got tired of looking at the stickers on it...

    The larger sleeper isn’t as attractive on the outside but almost a need on the inside! There is 15 feet of frame behind the stacks. Planning a 16 foot flatbed plus a dovetail. The Volvo bed was 16 foot total. So I will have a little more room

    I’ve been a fan of cabovers as long as I can remember. Probably transformers as a kid if I were to take a guess at the start. I had been mostly happy with my Volvo semi truck. I paid 3000 for it, put like 1500 into building the flatbed, tires, and a radiator and that’s really about it...

    Heavy duty (HDT/semi) for tow rig?

    My first one was a 85 Volvo with a 6v92 Detroit and a 9 speed. The 2 stroke diesel was miserable. Sounded cool (for a minute) but was pretty weak My second was 99 Volvo with a 12.7 60 series Detroit and a 10 speed. Both trucks were ugly as sin but I loved that 12.7. Loads of power...

    Mental health: it’s ok to talk.

    Did you guys hear about the lady that was hit and killed on highway 89 in south Weber a week and half ago? It was one of my best friends after high school. She was one the happiest people I’ve ever met. She talked me off a cliff on a couple different occasions. We pretty much lost...
