I drove through Minnesota a few years back, it was beautiful country up there. I hope to make it back dome day. I would like to go way north and take the boat ride out to isle royal, I would also love to go Walley, Northern, Smallmouth and Musky fishing in Lake of the Woods some day.

Later Cory Ossana 

I think you will find that its even prettier. Skip Mpls right now. Its a bit of a pit at the moment. ;>

Two newbies!  Welcome to ya both!

We just rolled in to our home base after a week on the road visit'n with friends.  It was nice to get out for a bit.

Thanks. The trip went well with min issues. Thanks again Jack. We are not total newbies. We have a 40ft coachmen destiny pusher we are currently selling. Had spent a number of years driving a diva of a Great Dane around the Midwest and showing her. Ended up with a 40ft United UTX that we were going to convert to a commercial kitchen but snagged a fantastic deal on a food truck, so the trailer is becoming a triple axle toy hauler with room for a sports car, atvs, and or jeep in the back. Hence the F-550 being for sale too and adding the 2004 630 Volvo. 

PIcking up the rig just west of San Antonio next Thursday and will be headed up I-35 back to MN. Give us a honk or wave if you see us headed north. No cb onboard just yet. 

Thanks. I had looked at them and they look nice. I had a set of HIDs in my Escalade for a number of years but the bulb and ballast costs were so high I upgraded the next years housings and went LED. Brighter and clearer than even my HID setup on the Escalade. I have noticed that the costs on the ballasts have gone down too. I thought this set of housings might work with a good set of LEDs. Has anyone installed this set of housings before? Are they holding up? Leaking? etc. If Led what bulbs did you end up using with it?

Glad to hear the news Cory. We went through a lot of working with underwriters and my state farm agent and her office team were able to insure us as well. About 800 per year and we can bobtail with it, although this tends to attract the local troopers so I think we will stick to dragging the trailer around with us for the most part. I get the sense that with the large increase in popularity of purchasing these trucks for alternative uses that we will see some negative response laws happen up here in the great white north otherwise known as MN. I hope not. 

We just acquired a 2004 Volvo 630 with some pretty severely faded headlights. I will be trying to polish them with the usual sandpaper, and polish along with trying to spray them with bug spray as well. Assuming the housing and projectors are beyond saving, what do folks think about the following headlights? Also need to come up with a name for the new tow pig. Our F-550 was named "trigger".
