  • Over a year in the making and its almost done! this week we took a sheet of steal and a few pieces of scrap to make a custom four fendered flatbed with enough clearance for all four tires at full lock. Can not wait to take this truck on the highway!

      @@GrindHardPlumbingCo Many of the progressions which come from the removable bed as well as the concept itself could well be patentable. In addition, many of Ethan's solutions may have longer-term value and might warrant patent consideration. I know the process well and have an excellent team.

    November of 1996 has this one beat easily. Schweitzer opened a week before thanksgiving with zero snowmaking capability. And we were shoveling roofs all over the county on t-giving weekend. Many buildings collapsed that weekend due to heavy snow load. It was a great year to be a young strong snowboarder, though. In fact, rode Schweitzer on Ocotber 25th of '96, all the way through to July 4th of '97.

It would be soo cool to do it with a duce and a half, problem is the 5th wheel trailer tows would be tricky, would have to mount a hitch on the very rear end and somewhat low. Thanks for making your videos, I enjoy them very much, you give me ideas on how I can do certain things on builds and welding etc.
