Unfortunately, my 2WD truck isn’t working out in AR
Hello All,
In the spring we moved from the flatlands to a remote neighborhood on the east side of Beaver Lake Arkansas, and my 2WD truck isn’t working out when towing on the narrow and steep dirt roads. Never thought I’d let go of this truck after all I’ve put into it the last fifteen years, but I’ve decided I need to go back to 4WD. 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 |

Yes, that’s what I did when in KS, but we downsized when we moved to the lake inching into retirement and no longer have the room for an extra vehicle. Nor, do I want to pay for offsite storage. Hopefully, I’ll find someone who will take great care of it like I have. |

My wife would kill me if I brought home another toy, but that sure is a pretty truck. Combine it with the trailer and you'll get a pretty penny for it I bet.
Well, if you need somewhere to park it I've got plenty of space. Just leave the title so I can keep the tags up to date for you

Well, come to think about it if I "lend" him Cecilia, she might get all that work done and come back to me better than she left! Hmm......

I’ll be keeping our little camper and will repaint the stripes to match the color of my future 4WD. |

Good to hear from you… Congrats on retirement!!! Yeah, I sold the Binder last year. Had to sell a lot of stuff in preparation of moving from 31 acres to 3 acres. A guy drove up from TX to pick up the Binder. His wife told me Thank You before they drove off with it, and I thought about telling her I’d be curious if she’d still thank me after a few years of her husband dumping lots of time and money into it. Left you a voicemail from my new cell number. Look fwd to catching up with you... Dave |
