sclord2002 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 If Jack does have his new truck there, I am going to try and lease our Attack Trained Weiner Dog to him for security. Some of them new shiny parts would look good on my ole '06. Charlie Don't ever tell a soldier that he doesn't understand the cost of war.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 Jack has always talked about the other brands.... and he does like Davids/Georgia Hybrids KW. Jim's Adventures Old Spacecraft.... Who knows whats next
sclord2002 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 Rickeieio, my '06 is a Volvo 780 but who is to say that some new shiny parts from another brand couldn't be duct taped to it ????? Charlie Don't ever tell a soldier that he doesn't understand the cost of war.
Pete Kildow Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 I hear Jack may have jumped to a Peterbilt. But then again I'm just guessing like everyone else. Pete

Funny, I had not been looking at this site recently, nor any RV site really since we just made a big job change move. Yesterday I went to your website and noticed that it had not been updated in a year or so, and then today I see that there are big changes. Congratulations, and I can't wait to see what improvements you have in the new rig. I had some big plans for a custom rig, but all that is out the window now for a few years. I'll keep track of things while I'm on the sidelines in case there are any big developments in the class 8 RV community. Michael

I've only been adding stuff in the solar and electrical section. I'm moving the entire site to a Wordpress hosting environment....which is a monumental task. And adding/revising along the way. I'll be updating the truck stuff very soon...probably before the wordpress change. Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.

Jack Mayer Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 OK, guys....since so many people have been asking me, here is a sneak peak at the new generation bed. LINK. We are putting on the final touches this week. Should go on the truck later today. Then the doors go back on, etc. There will, of course, be video on the completed project. This bed forms the "basis" of the next gen beds....more to come. Comments are welcome....of course. There are lots of smart people here. Any ideas are also welcome.

Darryl&Rita Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Nice to see a build with some artistry, instead of straight-up utilitarian look so common. The Volvo engineers built some fairly aggressive fiberglass, which I always felt was wasted by the basic box bed. Are the tail lights F-Series? I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.
Broncohauler Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Looks beautiful Jack. I'll wait for the details, but I thought you where staying tandem this time or did you work out the weight another way?
