mcmxi, The truck is an ‘07 Ram 3500, 6.7. I’m a bit (OK a bunch) over the listed tow ratings and over the listed weight rating for the truck. It tows great and gets decent fuel mileage when driven conservatively.

The real weak link in the system is the tires/rims. We addressed that issue with 19.5” tires and steel rims.

We are ex owner/operators and considered going with the modified Class 8 route. Much cheaper than a new loaded-out 4x4 truck if you get one just over 500K miles. We would have done the conversion and putting on a steel deck (for driver weight and tool boxes, storage, ect). It’s certainly better than a pick up truck for towing. However, we don’t tow enough to justify the rig, plus they absolutely “suck” on snow and ice. We live in Wyoming and do a bit of winter travel. Though, it’s often real tempting to go for it! 🙂 memtb

Thanks for the information and for clarifying the Class 8 status which I didn't remember. Happy and safe towing to you for sure!

Cleaned up some old rocks that have been piled and in the way for years. Cut up an old deck built with 2x6 and 2x8 spruce. Sure wouldn’t do that with today’s lumber prices lol. loaded it in the sugar shack for the maple season. Finished off backfilling a low spot that will soon be a new campsite. As much as I love my winters and the hard water sure can’t complain about this warm spell to get some extra stuff accomplished snd ahead of the game. Funny to think we have already had a few snows of 6-8 inches and I’m back moving dirt.
Hope everybody has a great holidays this year.

nice.

But, when I saw your first pic it reminded me of past neighbor of mine when I did landscaping on the side. I got a call from them one evening when they were in a bit of a rush to have me spread some stone around their newly installed in ground pool. You see, they were having a huge pool party the next day and told me that they had stone coming for it, and could I please hurry up and get it done for them. I said sure, when is the stone coming, and how much did you buy? She said, "oh the stone will be here in an hour and I ordered a ton of 1.5" goose egg white". :rolleyes: I got a pretty good laugh and told her I'd be over to measure how much she needed. Turned out to be around 26 ton, at a minimum. Her husband is an electrical engineer, and she has a Masters or PhD in speech pathology...;)

Those two were the reason we moved from that neighborhood.

Were you invited to the pool party, or were you just one of the hired hands?:)

The hooks will come in very handy. I have them on my bucket and it sure beats wrapping the chain around the bucket when you need it.

Yep. We were. However, there was no way in hell I was getting into that poo-el. Those knuckleheads actually added red dye to the pool prior to their party...to hide the fact that it was a proverbial petri dish. :sick:

I have many stories that I could share about those former neighbors. Perhaps I'll snap a recent pic of their Xmas decorations (that they leave up until memorial day) to give you a better idea of what I'm trying to convey. I now live about a mile away and they have no idea that I'm in the area...🤫

Put the wicked 60 right to work today. Ripped out 3 privet trees and added to the burn pile. Also pulled a bunch of vines from a few trees.
