Brit Hate to see you move on but keep us posted IRT how everything goes. I'll miss your super work. But have to take advantage of every opportunity when it comes along. So God Bless you and your family and I hope that this works for you. If you are ever on this coast around Va. Beach just give The Old Sailor A call. At some point in time can you tell us the Retailer? Again Good Luck Pat

 

 

The Old Sailor

 

Thanks. I appreciate that.

 

 

Hi Brit,

 

I wish you the best in your new adventurer. I hope you will still be off-roading. You have some nice looking off-road equipment. I have enjoyed talking to you at the rallies.

 

Best of luck,

Al

Thanks, Al. Yes, I will hang onto at least one of the RZR's, but I may go for a four seat turbo this time. The family had a lot of fun in Moab.

Looks like I may get one more West Coast trip out of Willy Mammoth before he finds a new home. I'm slated to be at the Sand Sports Super Show with ProjectXPD September 16-18.

Anyone in CA want to buy a nice Volvo 730, Heartland Cyclone 4000, an adventure trailer and the world's most well equipped adventure RZR XP Turbo of all time? I would love to fly home. :D

Well, it was a sad weekend for me, but happy in the sense that Willy will live on in another family. I sort of feel like I just sent my first child off to his first job in some far off part of the country.

 

Mike, who goes by MikenRobin here on the forum, is the new owner of my truck. He has some big plans for it and I hope to be able to help him make the changes he needs.

 

I'm in withdrawals already, but I know it was the right decision and I look forward to seeing the truck get back to work.

I was able to talk Mason into coming along with me. He's a sucker for a road trip. I don't know where he gets that from. :rolleyes:

Thanks.

 

I'm already planning the next one. I would like to build one or two for someone else soon. I don't have time to spend weeks away from home like before, but I could definitely build a HDT given enough of a timeline.

Are you still working on the beds? I know its gotta be a bit harder as you no longer have the ability to test fit and measure funky things.

 

I am. I have a few more design revisions I would like to apply on the next kit. I don't have a truck lined up, but I would definitely like to get another bed kit out there.
