I probably won’t make the switch until mid next year, but thought I’d give you guys a heads up. In the meantime, I’m using tire chains when I don’t have enough tongue weight to minimize wheel spin on steep gravel inclines. And when meeting oncoming traffic that cannot give me immediate right away on steep gravel inclines, I’m forced to stop and cannot restart when carrying a load, so I have to back the trailer down and take another run at it (and hope it’s clear).

Anyway, when I’m ready to make the change I’ll post my sale ad on here first.

Best regards,

David Clarke
Hello David! I don't get on here much any more since I never got one of these trucks again. Sounds like you must have sold the Binder project too. I am sorry to read you have to sell that great truck. Hope you and Carla are doing well. Congrats on approaching retirement. I did it in April and don't regret it one bit!

Too bad he can't keep it Ed! Loree uses that "D-word" (downsize) now and then too. Scares the crap out of me! I like having junk around! Hope you folks are well too!
