Thanks! I had a GREAT time! ...and when Tanya saw the pics, she said, "We're going NEXT year!"

Really?

Do those pictures make you nervous? (This thread was not addressed to you... what did you expect me to say to such a comment?)

It's my stuff, I installed a Ford factory upgraded european big brakes system (including a new parking brake cable system), I do all the maintenance on my car and I was fine with it!

:lol: ;)

That sounds to me that you need to get busy and finish that thing. I mean after all, don't you think 2 years as a soft top teardrop is long enough. ;)

I have been reg'd here on T&TTT for just over two years, yes.

Trailer was built quickly last July, making it 10 months old.

Really want to get a top on it pronto.

:thumbsup:

Who me? A Joker...:roll: Not any more than the guy who backs his (soon to be) teardrop down to the lake for a photo... :D But that's Ok, guess I should have put a :lol: on that post. I just saw that photo and thought about the time I backed my Dad's '63 Dodge 1/2 ton down to the lake (but with a boat trailer) and the truck tried launching the boat before I was quite ready for it to... Fortunately I left the door open and could get in to stop the thing before I had to explain to my dad why his truck was in the lake...

And it's good to hear you have focused on the breaks! :thumbsup:
