Good morning!
Terry, thanks for the pics yesterday. Was having trouble moving thru here with my phone.
Unloaded the Jeep out of the trailer yesterday. Parked it. 10 mins later son asked if he could use it, battery dead! Called parts places around town, $200 prices on batteries,,,,, Rubicon has a AGM. So get her running, drive to Autozone and young lady at counter helps me. Name tag says she is the manager. Tell her I called about the Jeep needing a battery. She says, is it a Rubicon? Yep. She shares, Autozone is no longer selling ACDelco batteries. She has 1 left in stock, used to be $200,,,,, mine for $60! And they installed it. 3 year warrantee.
Glad it started in the trailer, that would have been a pain as the Jeep don't roll easy, and once out it would have been in the CG road.
Trailer looking good Terry.

Great job on the trailer!!!
Went on an interesting drive yesterday. Left the RV park west of Loveland on state 34 going to Estes Park. Then staying 34 to the Rocky Mountain National Park then climbs in elevation. This takes you along the Big Thompson River and through the gorge the river flows down. This drive rivals the Going to the Sun road if not surpasses it.
This would make a amazing bike ride.

Thanks again guys! Bill, I really need to get down that way again! Ron, if I get the time I'll think of something in the line of a collapsible curtain for the front

Good morning!
Bill, I did that ride years ago. Very nice!
Electra, not normal for me to get lucky like that, but every once in awhile even a blind squirrel finds a nut!

Great job on the trailer Terry. Next will be an enclosed trailer, Lol. 24' behind your Monaco will be about right. That will give you enough room for your bikes and the jeep for when you come out to Yuma.

Hi journey cat, the original was a 28 ft TT no idea the make (old) LOL. Best to look for one that has the iron that you can work with. This one's 2X6 rectangle tubing, very nice to work and strong.

Forgot, I cut the hitch off and shortened the rear also to get the correct balance, (tonque weight)
