Went to re install the winch in the camper last night and found out my bolts are an inch short. The floor must be inch thick osb. I will not rely on 1/4" lag screws to retain a winch pulling 2k lbs up an 8'  ramp with a 36" incline. I drilled through Nd made a metL backing plate so the will have to take a 2 sq ft section of floor with it.  Other then that, flush the water lines and check for leaks. We have a few nights this week hovering freezing but nothing below 33* so far.

My shit is totally scattered but hope to pull off a good ole "grunt ~n~ flush" this weekend.
The most awesomeness part, the rail needs backed out of the trailer, paddles swapped, fluids checked, axles greased, and load the little shit back up!
This is a first for me... Having a hard time taking it all in..

NOW all I have to do is prep a truck for the tug down that has never made this tug.

 :nw

Hope to arrive Sun afternoon

ill be there for a wens am run! everyone have a safe drive .

got the winch better mounted, not how i would like to see it but atleast its bolt down and one end of the steel backing plate catches the frame members. should have new leaf springs on the front of the truck done tomorrow. im paying someone else to swap them out as i have plenty to do right now. only thing left on scotts rail is to delete the 2 psi residual pressure valve and biasing valve off the front brakes. no idea why he added that but there is enough drag on the front it makes noise and those little noises drive me crazy!  ;) added a qt of starch to one front tire and i have the eliminator paddles aired up checking to how fast the leak down. those paddles tires are heavy compared to my sport tire of america 1450's.

i forsee a good dune trip!!
