Well I finally got my Buffalo back from the truck shop, if you remember I was having DD3 problems. Well they sent it out to rebuild and just finished last nite (since July 11). Anyway, like Larry I just dropped the bumper down looking for gold and found a new mounted tire and black widow egg sacks and a couple of black widows from California. What say you Sad Sack!  | ||

HI HO Sam That is far better than some of the things I can dream up that you could find, Did you find the air hose like mind. How did the brakes work? Now you can test it down Cabbage Hill, do you have a Jake. Larry | ||

Hey Larry Looked for an extra air hose like yours but nothing there, I like the idea of yours but I do have a air connector in that side front compartment. What I should have them do is send both cans out to repair, will order another when I get back and rebuild myself so I know how it works. Called the owner of the motel and she is letting me park the bus there instead of WalMart, good to have childhood friends and not just hoods for friends. No Jakes but I will go slow and try not break anyspeed records or test the gravel strips. Leaving tomorrow late afternoon, will try to stop by on the way back and show you my project. | ||

Front tire compartment is a great place to hide someone and sneak them into Burning Man. I think they know all the tricks but that one. LOL | ||

Looking at my photo I could hook up a hydraulic system and plow snow during the winter | ||

Hey, i have been looking for some ideas for my front bumper. I made mine to drop down like that too just did'nt know about the bumper part til i looked at your picture! I can attach the bumper like yours pictured and maybe when it is down, attatch some sort of frame work for bikes and stuff! That was a great post for me. Thank You!! | ||

"attatch some sort of frame work for bikes and stuff! " We had 2 inch receivers welded onto the non moving part of the hinges. Then a M'C carrier was built to fit the spacing. Our bumper bike is a Honda XL 250 , but we have carried my old BMW R-60 US. Yes a flat would require removing the bike and carrier (2 pins) to get to the spare. FF | ||

Came down cabbage 2nd gear for most of the way, wasn't really feeling like testing the brakes down. They did over fill the oil and layed out a beautiful mosiquito fog bank when starting out, sorry to the motorcycle riders behind me, really it wasn't my fault that I stepped on the pedal. |
