Vernal 2

I promise this blog is about more than a truck and a camper.

Vernal 1

Camper visits vernal

Canyon road test

easily passed test

Camper on truck on road!

Jacked up, tied down

Jacking was almost not sketchy, a huge improvement.  Tie downs still sketchy

Mirrors dialed in...

These things are way harder than Camry mirrors, maybe not dialed in yet

Metal

Wiring the rainbow

Roof done!

Enlarged jack mounting brackets in progress

Front roof work

Roof patch

Did 2 roof patches and some insulation

I'll take care of those one of these days

Truck stuff

Round 1 truck work is done: 2 tires, bleed brakes, inspection, registration, coolant line, sway bars, unstick + adjust parking break cable, rear window latch, blinker switch, speakers, head unit, headlight switch knob, dashboard adjustment, door trim attachment, door lock knobs, custom wood door handles and a secret button.

Time to focus on the camper.

Some tires

Load range E

New Truck

1991 F-250 4x4 211k miles? Rebuilt top end, trans, and clutch

No truck

Decided the f150 was too light for this load. Accidentally sold it faster than I anticipated, even at 150% of the price I paid for it

Separate

Took the camper off the truck

Let's make it weigh less
