  • Over a year in the making and its almost done! this week we took a sheet of steal and a few pieces of scrap to make a custom four fendered flatbed with enough clearance for all four tires at full lock. Can not wait to take this truck on the highway!

      @@GrindHardPlumbingCo Many of the progressions which come from the removable bed as well as the concept itself could well be patentable. In addition, many of Ethan's solutions may have longer-term value and might warrant patent consideration. I know the process well and have an excellent team.

    November of 1996 has this one beat easily. Schweitzer opened a week before thanksgiving with zero snowmaking capability. And we were shoveling roofs all over the county on t-giving weekend. Many buildings collapsed that weekend due to heavy snow load. It was a great year to be a young strong snowboarder, though. In fact, rode Schweitzer on Ocotber 25th of '96, all the way through to July 4th of '97.

    I soo want a 6x6... always wanted a duce and a half, I tow trailers out of flood zones to help people who can't afford to pay a tow vehicle to tow them out for the heck of it. It would be soo cool to do it with a duce and a half, problem is the 5th wheel trailer tows would be tricky, would have to mount a hitch on the very rear end and somewhat low. Thanks for making your videos, I enjoy them very much, you give me ideas on how I can do certain things on builds and welding etc.
