  1. right now I don't even want to drive across town to uhaul.
  2. Got the collection back up to 13
  3. There are Ford out there that have a flange adapter with the right joint. The Aerostar comes to mind.

    Gas prices

    Gas is actually cheaper than it was at the start of this thread.
  5. Yeah, I needed that break for sure. nothing like buds and suds and great food to recharge the batteries. we gotta get a powwow together this fall.
  6. Might be cutting my trip short a day. First 'yard apparently had more beds than even they knew about. all shorties though. not exactly the best prices either, but the chance to go home weighed heavily. I'm done with this trip. I'm tired, still drying out some of my stuff, tired, and tired. But at least I've got a sweet spot in the shade to empty the trailer and take a nap while waiting on the guys to get my stuff.
  7. ...Meanwhile I'm working on swapping out the 35 from under my trailer...

    Gas prices

    Cheapest I saw on this trip was 2.75, most was 3.19. Just filled up at 2.83 in southern Virginia.
  9. The visor is rebuildable, you just have to weigh that effort vs finding a decent used one (note that there are two different lengths over the yesrs). The clips can usually be found on ebay (used if course).
  10. That far west is very unlikely for this trip. I'm absolutely exhausted. Just hitting Virginia and the Carolinas on a few leads before heading back to Atlanta. But you should still pull that bed
  11. Hanging with mjeff on my "day off". Tomorrow starts the official tail of this trip, trying to fill the trailer back up. if uhaul is going to make me bring the trailer back to its place if origin, I might as well make use of it. we'll see if I can get lucky in some southeast junkyards. today is the first day it wasn't raining. Finally got to dry out my jeans and toolbag. The cheap tools did not fare so well.
  12. Ooooo, that would be sweet to have a fancy themed fire pit!
  13. Most everyone that gets new leafs gets more than they expected. They will settle some though. If you can, I would do rear first. But then pucks are an easy addition if the front needs a bit more. Mounts welded to the tube allow you to place them where they work best. The stock parts are quite restrictive in that aspect.
  14. So far so good. all parts have been dropped off at their new homes. Got to spot a carrier while on the ches bay bridge, and then 2 more in Norfolk. Not sure what else was in my field of view, but it's hard to miss the flattops.

  16. 6x12. It has a tailgate on the back. If you need a full ramp, be aware the other 6x12 trailer narrows at the back. I'm using plywood as a ramp on the tailgate version (otherwise the beds don't fit) The journey continues.. now with twice the mpgs as the start! :D.

    Tool Talk

    It's now on the list!
  18. The sounds of nature soundtrack. Specifically the rain Probably all night too.
  19. Will do. Dropped off bed #4 so I finally got to lay the last one down and make use of my rearview mirror. I'm holed up in a Walmart lot for the night listening to the rain. It's not half bad (if I wasn't wedged in the back of a Durango with a bunch of parts. Lol I did score 3 late XJ headers, early KJ renegade flares, and various tow hooks.
  20. Made it to Syracuse. Got a couple yards to hit to tomorrow on the way east.
  21. Can someone with a better internet connection try to find what these go to? E19 84241 E29 93727
  22. and I'm off again. next stop, Pull-a-Part Cleveland! (mostly because it breaks up a long drive day) but after that, Niagara Falls!
  23. and these. I'm assuming that 91-92 are the same profiles. https://www.ebay.com/itm/391545834945?hash=item5b29f34dc1:g:MckAAMXQHPFRhePi
