I'm planning for a future build and you are building just what I like. I'm savin' you pics. How 'bout a little more info. What is different from your other tear? 5'x8' ? fenders? leaf springs? axle?
Thanks again,Smokey

Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 8:54 pmHi Smokey, Thanks for the kind words.
My last was a 4.5x8 this one is a 5x8. Only difference is that I’m hoping to make less mistakes on this one. They are just fun to build.

I am happy but I still made some mistakes you just cant see them in the photo.
I hope to have it campable by the end of this month. Not done but useable.
Sure has been a fun build.

Isn't it amazing how we learn from our mistakes. If I ever build another one I just know it would be ten times better than my first one.
There are so many things I would do differently. The two biggest things would be it would be at least 5 ft wide and have 2 doors. Maybe then
my wife might give teardropping a try.

Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:03 pmLarry that's funny but I'm sure true. Ive had two doors and was thinking about doing a one door this time. I like the idea of having a longer window on the no door side. Then I started thinking about the midnight pee runs. ( can I say that ? ) So I did two doors. But with every thing I did better than the first I screwed up on other things so oh well. I don't think I will ever perfect it I will just enjoy it.
