Time for a beer. Spent a good part of the day working on the new Pioneer hauler and selling the old one

Old one. 18' steel car hauler

I like it... you will too. But I just don’t understand why they made the deck out of wood on some of these aluminum haulers.

I like the wood, less slippery in the winter and easy to replace.

What made you decide on a new trailer?

Yeah me too it needs a little bit of love been fixing oil leaks on it whoever tried to re gasket it did a real piss poor job got all the leaks cured up high now I have to replace the vacuum pump/power steering seals and probably a oil pan gasket. But for 3500 with less than 200k miles I couldn’t complain other than it’s auto but I can always swap that if I want. Big plans coming for it.

Mostly constantly wishing my old trailer was just a bit longer. My wife's sister bought a Can-am Commander this week so we'd both fit too. Overall the 18' was nice but not great. This has brakes on both axles and it's 600lbs lighter with the same load rating.

Hollerwood Park, Kentucky Cave,,,

Funny story about Hollerwood.
From Sept of 2016 to Sept of 2018 I lived in Lawrenceburg, KY. Just south of Frankfort, and like 1.5 hours from Hollerwood. This was after 8 years in AZ (having grown up in NC). AZ has virtually unlimited riding, so KY was a big letdown in that respect...as I knew it would be.

Talk of what became Hollerwood was going on when I got to kanetucky, so I was excited to have another place to go. And more talk. And more talk. I watched on FB as meetings would be delayed, etc. I would have thought it was a branch of government, it moved so slowly. I finally kinda gave up on it, and joked with the wife that it would probably open as soon as I moved away.
I was, literally, in the Penske truck during the move back to AZ when I saw the opening date announced.
Seems to be doing well.

There is a lot of area to ride with trails between Hollerwood and Bone Yard park and it is growing, but we are fortunate enough to have some good local friends down there that are good guides and know lots of ins and outs, it helps to know the locals and that opens up many more options for riding, some of the problems just like any of these areas the bad ones ruin it for the good people, the locals get victimized buy a couple of jerks that don’t respect the property or privacy and it makes all of us look bad,,,,👍

I know locals had been riding that area for years. Think they called it something else.

I know. Why do you think I left?

Finally happened. My buddy in Idaho is a huge Ford guy and would never own a Dodge. Swore against those pieces of s***. Drove mine awhile back and realized quickly the mileage and durability. Always liked 12valves though. Had two recent issues with 7.3. He saw the light.
First rig he’s actually spent much on, especially wrecked because he owns a wrecking yard.
98 12valve 5-speed 4x4. 126k on it, was someone he knew, buyback was 5200 and that’s what he paid. Going to help him fix it up to keep.

Ok, let's hear the first part of the story?

Whelp my friend recovered this truck from way down a cliff in Idaho. I suspect way too fast for conditions. He said I’m buying this truck, and did.
