This is how you make a jeep look better.
The motel worked well last night. Came back from northgate last night and pulled the trailer into a friends driveway, popped open the tent and crashed. Woke up this morning with the adjoining duplex neighbors staring at us, good times. :gigem:
Clark: So, when did you get the tenament on wheels?
Eddie: Oh, that uh, that there's an RV. Yeah, yeah, I borrowed it off a buddy of mine. He took my house, I took the RV. It's a good looking vehicle, ain't it?
Clark: Yeah, it looks so nice parked in the driveway.
Eddie: Yeah, it sure does. But, don't you go falling in love with it now, because, we're taking it with us when we leave here next month.
Yeah I think I will find a camp ground tonight... :)
wait so you dragged that thing down to College Station just so you'd have a place to crash after the bar? Rather than having the tent mounted on the back of the tundra like you had it before?
How do you show off your new trailer and rubicon to your friends if you take the tundra with the tent attached? (Do they still have the tundra? I thought they traded that on the lexus or whatever chiny import they got?)
Jimmy don't be hatin. When you have a rubi and an adventure trailer you too can take "expeditions" to the grocery store
Thanks Brett. Reason for the trailer was our friend is hosting both sides of her family in her house and there wasntveven floor space lastnight. By the time we learned this, no hotels to be found :( /blog
And I like my expeditions to the grocery store with my grocery getters thankyouverymuch! :D
ah now it all makes sense. It is still a little funny though. Maybe next time you could ask Davido if you could rent the 12th man bus for the night :gigem:
Well I went with my mom to get her checked in there on friday night and after actually seeing what the room looked like inside, and the fact that her room was in a "back building" I decided she wasnt staying there. We had already checked in but went back to the front desk and demanded a refund. Now, I worked at a hotel for a few months so I know how this would have played out at any place that wasnt a ****hole.
Guest- "I want a refund, I'm not staying here"
Hotel- "I'm sorry sir I cant do that, if you choose to check out early you will still be charged for both nights because it is graduation weekend"
Instead, they did not give us a single problem. I'm guessing guests do this prety frequently there. All the local hotels also usually double or tripple their rates on game and graduation weekends, but still always fill up. The Plaza, however, does not. Maybe my mom will get around to making her reservation more than a week before next time she comes to visit...

Sold! Guy is coming and picking it up tomorrow. I noticed a trend on Expedition Portal of these trailers selling for way too much money and turned a profit. Onto the next project.
God dammit, BDR had 8 months!
that's funny, I noticed a trend on TAMOR of these trailers being bought for way too much money :flipoff2:
He told me the guy that builds em has been raising prices on them, Something like a $1,000 more than when I bought mine.
so is it just me or did it look like the tires on the trailer were bigger than the jeep? and why put mud tires on it, would it actually get enough traction difference to matter or was it just looks
It was just looks and the tires were never put on there to match the jeep, they were put on to match the Tacoma. I didn't get the Jeep until after I got the trailer.
EDIT: In fact, technically the increased rolling resistance of the 12.5" of width and the aggressive tread pattern would inhibit Fuel Economy of the trailer. Although in my opinion this was negligible considering the weight of the trailer was only 1000 lbs. This trailer would have pulled anywhere with 33x9.50 All Terrains.
Let's see...you tell us you bought something, then tell us that you sold it and made a boatload of money, but you never shared what you paid for it, what you paid for the accessories, how many miles you drove to go pick it up, or what you sold it for? Do you have any idea how douchey this makes you sound?
All you had to do was ask. Bought it for $3750, Selling it for $4700. Drove out to Gilmer to pick it up (met the guy from Arkansas where his operation is). I am including the Roof Top Tent in the sale but I have nothing in it due to my original mishap (got damaged, claimed on Insurance) with my first Roof Top Tent, got way more money back than I was expecting (2.5x) on the first one and got the second one with the overage money and the rest covered my deductible . Anything else you want to know? Seems to me, folks around here would rather **** on someone through their assumptions, rather than just come out and ask a question.
I am only selling because I saw the opportunity. I have had it for 9 months, and I don't plan on using it anytime soon with expecting my baby in 3.5 months. Maybe in a year when the baby is a little more grown I will buy a Travel Trailer for the family. :)
math seems pretty fuzzy to me.
the main reason you sound like a douche is that nobody ever asked you what you bought it for or sold it for, or if you made or lost money on the deal. You obscurely volunteer that you got a great deal, or that you made money on the deal. We don't care, but we will call you out on a lie or brag.
And whether you think you had any money in the rooftop tent or not, it was worth something.
its chadnutz math and do you make an insurance claim for everything? sounds like a pain in the ass
if you really want to get into it you have to include the gas money of going to get it and then meeting the guy to sell it, plus any other thing you let go with it. there's also actual out of pocket vs what the value of parts sold/ traded
who really gives a **** why he sold it, how much he made/lost, what hes getting next, how big his schlong is, etc, etc, etc.... everyone that has posted in every one of his threads after he has sold something is doing so cause its the "cool" thing to do... :rolleyes:
Get the **** outta here.
:flipoff2:
yeah ya bunch a' dicks!
NO MORE!!!
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself INSTEAD!!!
Who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
Gossip burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not l'est ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not you are it's who you know
Others lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges and build them back with wealth
Judge not l'est ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Yeah who the hell are you?
Hey yo
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
NOT!!!
