    Congrats tater, if that minivan is a Chrysler sirscrap needed the speedometer and gauges (don't remember the year) and for sledge I was gonna take pics of the converter still hooked up. I may not ever get another so if you could do that it would be great. I love busy days like that, congrats again

    Nice haul. Love taking vehicles out for their "last horah". burnouts and ebrake drifts. Too much fun.

    I had the chance to buy a 90s bmw. He declined my 500 offer. Closest iv ever gotten to one of those is a VW.

    -A little redline for a good time.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    I need to get a flat bed instead of renting a uHaul every time we get a new "big load". Eventually, the cost of renting one will exceed the cost of buying a flat bed!

    Congrats though

    Talking

    Got my side boards for my pickup built.










    Amazing what 40$ worth of lumber can do. Got the pressure treated so it was a little higher than regular lumber.
    All built using my 19.2 craftsman 1/4" impact driver and mini circle saw, that set has been one of my best investments I've ever made.

    And went to a farm sale, on the way home, and bought this stuff home.
    Pile of al and copper, misc brass pieces.

    Small disk, 3 bottom plow, 3 pt lester, and misc junk.

    That's much better. The truck looked good, but it was missing that signature taterjuice pile on the top.
    Now she's complete!

    Did you pick up a UFO? That would be a pretty cool tear down video. :P

    Nice looking trailer, too, with the floating axle...Heavy Duty!!

    Have you done any trailers with pickup axles that you adapted braking to? How is it done?

    None yet. They make an electric over hydraulic pump that could do that, but is high dollar.
