THE RANDOM PICTURE THREAD
#3368
I don't buy groceries much, just snacks and some stuff from time to time. Mom buys groceries, lol. Will have to post when I hauled a futon mattress. Just got the truck running. Dirty filters, killed the starter. Just replaced those, belts, rear window, fixed up the interior and putting a 10" JL in it as soon as I get a fuse for the wiring. It's not a good highway truck, but I just drive the half mile to work and gonna use it for camping and shooting, maybe do some hunting, but the exhaust would scare everything away. Getting a 7x12 trailer tonight that needs some lighting work and such. But I can do all that easy. Move my battery and sub over.

Bought the trailer for $300. Needs light work, serial number for title (using plate from other trailer to bring this home), then lining sides with insulation and trying to figure if I want 1/4" plywood, sheet metal, or something else to line the walls. Thinking of getting that clear corrugated stuff they sell at Home Depot (I deliver for them) for windows, wanna get those put in before insulation. Might find some old home windows or something they can't sell. Want to do a fold-down loading ramp and take out the doors. Maybe do some overhead storage or something fun with this. I have some bamboo flooring someone gave me a box of 6' lengths. I can line part of the floor. Installing the battery, doing a bed at the front with storage below, and running an amplifier to some speakers now that I have room. Still trying to decide what A/V setup I want to do since I have all this stuff sitting around. I own 4 amps other than the one in my Celica, and 3 aftermarket stereos. Keeping one amp and one stereo in the Dodge. The Sherwood I may just hook up to a couple cheap-o speakers I jacked from some rear-pro TVs and just have it so people can plug their iPod into it and flip a switch to turn it on, or solar battery tender on an ATV battery. So many ideas and so much stuff laying around. I even have a nice solid wood mantle/bar top. Might actually do those mounts for the Tiki torches I always planned on for the other trailer.
So here's pics of the new one, and the old one I fixed up below it, going to jack some lights and stuff for the new one. Depending on what I can get. If they try to knock me around on price, I'll just take all I can, like those ammo boxes too. I paid $350, figure I can get that if I only steal a couple lights and put one of those ATV batteries in for the lights.
Old:
Prior to mounting, installed a power inverter, battery tender, Alpine sub amp, MTX Thunder4000 10", CD stereo, and had some red cold cathodes, blew the box for them, or something:
I bought some solar battery tenders from NewEgg.com, have three left since one was a gift, for $52. Be good to just have it hooked up to the battery instead of having to plug it in all the time.
Newegg.com - Sunforce 52013 1.8 Watt Solar Battery Maintainer Twin Pack
Trading the one NEF shotgun for 5 hours of work on the truck, and he said he usually charges $50/hr (be about $100) to rebuild the carb. Last person offered $150 for the shotgun, they're $150 new without the kit at Wal-Mart here, so good deal for me not spending money and he'll get it done. I'll just work on the trailer and let him work on my truck. He does a lot of work with Dodges, has a Ramcharger at his house.

Bad idea brotha. If you get pulled over with no tag, you say "I just bought it" they give you 30 days. If you get pulled over with fictitious tags they throw the book at you.
The rig looks good, you could live out of it when your done
