I suspect maybe what I would describe as a 'communal' van? Shrug shoulders?

This has blown my mind. Original driveline?
My brother’s Dodge/Ram w/Cummins has well over 400k kms. Interestingly, he had to have the brake fluid flushed recently, to clear an issue.

Got some minor work done in my brother’s yard today. Will post pics tomorrow..

Where's coffee this week? Since Lady Hammond isn't on the regular roto, I'm confused! lol
Middle Sackville?
Thanks!

Ooops, I meant access is restricted at the top end, in the evenings.
-
There has been construction happening on Ackerley Blvd for weeks, in the evenings. I suspect access is mostly limited to the East end, (top). Just a heads up!

Seen a few antiques rolling around this weekend...must be time
LOTS of 'antiquities' rolling about! I visited a small show on Saturday morning. First of the season. I didn't take mine, still doing some minor maintenance first.

@sar4x4 how much does your hauler weigh?
I totally forget or never knew! Typical of a good one, frame rails several inches high, my Burb fits totally on the deck with room to spare, long tongue with the frame rails coming to a point at the hitch. Electric brakes. Well over 20’ long IIRC. Dual axles, 7,000 lb each I think. And fenders strong enough to drive the Burb up on. Hauled the Dodge Cummins listed in my signature on it from F’ton to Halifax. By a twin Dodge Cummins!
-
And we have a 'good sized' car hauler. Rated at 10,000 lbs. My brother's tweaked 3/4 ton Cummins diesel hauls really well. Even with the car hauler outfitted with sides and loaded with wood. And the truck's 8' bed loaded as well. Going over Foley Mountain. (We had a really good rate family wood supplier in Tatamagouche. Unfortunately he passed away...… and 3 years later we're still hauling wood out of his garage and basement!)

Well I was likely right at max towing capacity because those uhaul trailers aren’t light but it towed alright from birdgewater back to enfield like that. I didn’t go much harder than 100 and there was plenty of downshifting on the hills but it seemed to go alright. Personally if I was going to tow anything of any significant weight on any frequency I would want a half ton.
The weight ratings of half tons are very high these days and may do the trick. But in the past if I was going to do any 'heavy lifting' I would go with a 3/4 ton. And the 1 tons have incredible tow ratings these days! MUCH more than I would ever want to haul!

Nice box sides on the fuel tank skid plate. The 'Burban doesn't have sides to the skid plate. And sure enough, shortly after I added the locker, I slid sideways and poked a stick through the tank! What's the odds of that? THEN I was winching up a hill and pretzeled the tie rod.
Once I got her to the road I had the trailer at the camp ground so I loaded 'er up for the ride home the next day.
Fox Mountain, summer event, about 10 yrs ago. :-)

Nice! I have a similar set for the Burb, sitting in the garage for SEVERAL years now. Long before more Life got in the way last year......
Maybe we'll see who's get on the truck first, but yours I think are already! Ah well, my plan is working so far this year...……… lots getting done.

Okay, so I forgot to post the early Dec and Ranger pics!
Today I picked up two of my 37” Krawlers, that I had taken in for flat repairs. No charge, there were sticks and mud between the beads and rims.
Last week I filled two 20 litre diesel jugs with furnace oil and put them at the garage for the future. We had 6” of furnace oil in the tank (small), back in March. Can’t be much left!
