Here's a picture of the rig taken May long with the trailer connected. I'll be loading up this week for the S&M Jamboree and can't wait to do some dirt biking at Outwest. Maybe see some of you there.
See you then and here's a little contribution I'm bringing along for the fireworks. Don't ask me what they do cause I have no idea, but the two on the sides are like king sized bottle rockets and the middle one goes Kaboom! :)
I pull a 17.5' V-Nose Hauler with this setup. I had a Torque-Lift Super Hitch installed on the truck and it's good for 13,000 pound towing. The trailer I pull behind the camper is 2800lbs dry and I've pulled it all over the place. My camper overhangs by something like 2.5' so I have a pretty...
Fantastic job on the website ladies. Just had a good look and I was very impressed. Great Bio's, great pictures, and no doubt it will be a great film. See you at the show Amy. Thanks :)
Looking at a Keystone Cougar SRX 5th wheel with a side door on the garage. It's 35' long and weighs 9500 with 1920 on the hitch. Loaded up it should be around 12500 lbs and that's no problem for this truck as it's rated for 12800 with 4:10 gears. This camper is supposed to be half ton tow-able...
I picked up a few big ones the other day on the way back from the states. Couple big bazooka thing-a-majigs and a couple other multi launch tubes. Should be pretty cool.
Here's a picture of the rig while headed down through the Snake River Canyon. Had the wheel checked and turns out the wheels I used to have were light weights and were only rated for 3100lbs. Wheels have been upgraded and it goes for not as my wife wanted me to buy the 5th wheel toy hauler anyways.
After heading back from holidays last Monday, we were headed back on I-5 and I was booking along with a pretty good load on my rig. My truck has beefed up suspension, heavier rated wheels and 34" Toyo's so I thought all was good, until the tire pressure monitor alerted me to the right rear. I...
Well....after a week and a half on the road, I just got back from NASCAR and had one hell of a good time in Cali. The camper is now unloaded and I'll either be loading it up again, or might be picking up a new toy hauler this week. In any case, we'll be out there next weekend and hope to meet up...
Head shake can also be caused by the front forks being too low in the triple tree's and many will raise them a bit. I have mine up about 1/4" above the top clamp. If adjusting these, re-torque the top bolts at 20nm and the lowers at 15nm.
Now that I think about it, Candy led the yammies up the trail last week as she was rippin it up on her 250 XC. I think the blue bikes had a tough time keeping pace with her. I used to ride YZ's back in the day but love the new KTM now that I've been spoiled.:)
The muskeg mats (bridge) were...
I wear Thor riding pants and use an Oilers jersey to wipe all the mud off when I'm done. When I'm done with the jersey, I kick it around on the garage floor till the next week then use it as a rag again. Never need a pressure wash when you have the right TOOL to clean up the mud. :d
Video taken this past Wednesday dirt biking in McLean Creek with other members of the RMDRA. This ride included a couple intermediate loops with plenty of mud, water, a few hill climbs and plenty of fun.

Some pictures of the KTM after more accessories
Did some service work on the KTM tonight and then added some fender graphics, fork socks, and a new tool bag which I mounted up behind the headlamp. Fits great in there and can access it in a couple seconds by snapping the rubber clamps off that...
