  1. I had to go through this process recently as I changed my business to SD, dissolving an s-corp from one state and creating a new LLC in SD. Since I use a Nation wide bank I actually created my accounts while in another state. In my case I used my in-laws physical address, then made sure all contact (mailing address) is set up to use my PMB. Most correspondence set up for online too. This is also an issue when it comes to purchasing firearms.

    Lancaster Tires???

    You can't go wrong with Michelin XDN2 for drive tires and the tread design works great if you boondock and venture off road some.
  3. I have used packaging tape with success to keep the glass together until it can be replaced. Replacing window glass is a PITA. The actual part numbers are on a sticker on the inside of the frame, meaning you must remove window frame to access the label. It's not difficult, but a royal pain, then about 5 weeks for Duncan/LCI to make the replacement.

    Red Loctite

    I was wondering if I was the only one having issues with my Kodial disc brakes! I have had caliper bolts coming loose caliper brackets breaking on the Right rear on my tandem axle toy hauler. I am using the red locktite. Never tried the brake cleaner idea but have not had issues taking them apart either. I have the MORryde 8k IS the right rear caliper bracket breaks off the top ear of the bracket. I'll bet over the last 2 years I have replaced it 4 times. Torqing everything to spec the bracket bolts at 85 ft lbs and the caliper bolts at 45 ft lbs and red locktite. No other issues, alignment is right on no excessive tire wear or anything indicating an issue. It's frustrating to say the least! The last time just a few weeks ago the bottom bolt came out and the caliper pivoted after the bracket broke and wedged in the wheel, when your towing with a 475 hp tractor you can't feel it until it's too late and a $500 tire is smoked and $600 wheel is damaged. It's pretty much part of my daily pre-trip routine now to check the caliper bolt torque.
  5. Overnighted at Victoria City RV Park, it was great for an overnight but for a month long stay I would say probably not. My truck & trailer connected is 61' then we have the Jeep behind. Not the best big rig RV park but if your going to Magnolia Beach a great stop to service tanks and get water.
  6. Dave, not sure you remember me. I saw your old truck "Semi Sane" a few years ago at the rodeo in Mitchell, SD and reached out to you. Hope you all have a great get together and one of these days I'll get to one of these rally's!
  7. Thanks! Yes, I do know this, we have bought a 2 week LVTA pass the first year we were on the road and went to Imperial Dam & Holtville Hot Springs. We just have already been there and as I say like to go to more remote BLM's with awesome off roading. I like to stop at Q when I can to have roadmaster go thru my tow bar and maybe a stop at the adult day care... One of these days I'll catch an HDT rally, I always have conflicts it seems with the National HDT Rally in Hutchisnson.
  8. I certainly understand, but that just doesn't fit our style of moving around to different BLM's and going off roading in our Jeep. We usually don't stay in any one location longer than a week to 10 days. I have been boondocking a lot and have never had any trouble with thieves, but I don't get in the habit of temping them either by leaving anything out un secured. Yes, water & dump will cost you extra, but the transfer station North of town lets you throw your garbage for free. If your wanting to stay in one spot, I would agree hard to beat the LVTA's, it just comes down to personal preference.
  9. Thanks for the detailed reply! With all the free options on BLM land I usually don't stay at the LVTA's, when I'm around Q. Otherwise would love to join up you all sometime.
  10. I'll second the cleaning of the thermocouple. I had this exact issue with my oven and after I carefully cleaned the thermocouple it has been working fine.
  11. Hoping to be around Q by the 17th, will you still be around and where's the general location at?
  12. Wondering about this very thing as I contemplate adding a smart shunt on my battery bank in my truck. The battery box on my century even though it is plastic is located between the frame rails under the drom box and of course totally surrounded by the steel of my bed....
  13. This past June I traveled from West I-76 to Brush, then South on CO 71 to Limon, then US 24 to Colorado Springs. Very good route it brings you to the South end of Colorado Springs. Guess you could also stay on 71 to 10 towards Walsenburg... or even 71 to US 350 towards Trinidad.... 71 isn't the widest road but it works way better than going through Denver unless your going to pay to take the E470. safe travels!
  14. You need to locate where the qualcomm box is or was and start from there. You can read more details about my repair above. Mine was located above and in front of the passenger door, not sure that there is a common spot where they were mounted? On mine it looked like they just tugged on the box to remove it and left some gaping holes in the wire harness, they repaired about a two inch strip where it was tapped in and all is well and has been ever since. Good luck it can be tricky to find!
