MSO is the way to do it  depending on the state. Some states require a safety check,  and weight cert and that is a PIA

Agreed. That permanent Cali plate is enticing though!

Here I’ve got to re register it every year. 
All my commercial trailers are licensed in Idaho as they do a perm commercial plate. I wish we could do that with personal like California!

where are they located ? are they handling registration for you?

 

 

Menifee.

No it will be sold as an out of state sale with just an mso. 

This is all I’ve got that’s new. They are pretty much at a stand still now waiting on the lift and awning.

They both should show up next week. 
if all goes well I will be heading down to Cali the following weekend for pickup. 🤞

If so it will have taken about 10 weeks from deposit to pickup. Hopefully the quality looks as good as the pictures. Time will tell.

I fully understand leadership. I get what you are saying.

The original comment I responded to said we should basically tuck tail and run. That’s a cowards way out and not one shared by any servicemen that I know. 
Regardless I understand many of your disdain for the current administration and lack of leadership.

I personally hold our servicemen to a higher level of respect than some perhaps. Living near one of the largest Air Force bases, most of my friends, customers and or family are either active military, retired, customers of mine or work on base. 
I have a customer that flew his f35 last week over to Europe to back NATO forces… I’m certain his family would rather he be home. As would I.

This isn’t a war we should be involved in, in my opinion.

You gotta be getting excited! Peace

Oh hell, probably not as excited as you are for your home. But yes pretty dang excited!

As already mentioned, the leadership is weak. It all starts from the top. Neither Putin nor Winnie the Pooh in China have any respect for sleepy joe or his entire administration. 

Thats a good opinion. But one not shared with most current servicemen in the fact they serve their country first. Who was elected president makes no difference if the actual military is weak or strong. I assure you they are as strong as ever and ready when needed.

As a 25 year man and senior staff officer that briefed the Pentagon everyday...Uh...Ok.

I stand by my comments.

Thank you for Service Mac!

What would lead you to believe the most highly funded, most technologically advanced and highest staffed military is weak?

I could write a book on this.  

Biden caused this.  Ukraine asked him to stop pushing Putin's buttons on this, he did not and basically pushed Putin to a breaking point where Putin had to or accept cowering  to the weakest US president ever.  Now China will follow suit, maybe even Iran and N.Korea.

But Biden is pushing sanctions....Putin will raise the price of oil and make that back 3 fold.
China...controls our entire supply chain.  Let's see how sanctions work with that.  Not to mention costs, bare shelves, we would be paralyzed.
The US has weaker it's military where it cannot support a 2 front war...let alone a war against 2 formidable adversaries. (I don't say enemies because we are still doing business with them and require their products!)

I actually told my wife this morning when she asked...what should we do???  I said...maybe it's that time again for the US to lose and walk away with our tail between our legs and regroup.  If we do anything now, we're not ready and will get hurt worse.  What's wrong with hurt feelings to live and fight another day?

So much more to say, none of it good.
 

This may be the dumbest thing I have read and may the lord have mercy on your soul.

If you think our military is weaker, you’re either ignorant or a fool.

We are part of a great collaborative. We don’t make the calls singular. They are made as a collective.

Our boys shouldn’t see that soil. We are doing exactly what we should be.

Ukraine had plenty of time to join NATO and chose otherwise. 
If anyone should be backing them, it’s their neighbors. Keep our kids off that soil.

Got a few more goodies installed.

Winch for brining in cars is mounted.

Ladder is mounted and the access is trimmed out.

Sink is in and plumbed.

And the trailer looks mighty sexy if I don’t say so myself!

I think the hose is about 25' and I mounted on the ceiling driver side. I don't have a stacker so it was a bit easier. 

It's so much easier with the reel versus the hose with a quick disconnect. 

Interesting, thank you!

Ill have to revisit it when I get the trailer!

They got the led lights swapped out with black bezels, looks lots better!

They got the rear taillights installed as well as the back door coin flooring installed and the winch operating.

If parts show up this should be ready shortly!

I would definitely go with a reel. I had a quick disconnect before and it was a pian. I would have fuel everywhere. 

Thank you, where did you put your reel? How many feet of hose?

As mentioned I had a quick disconnect on my last trailer and didn’t mind it. But think the idea of a reel sounds good!

Interior work being done.

Lower 36” of walls getting plywood and carpet. Cabinets being built. Coin floor down. 
I told them to plan a simple stereo with a sub as I like some tunes but don’t need my neighbors to hear.. from the looks of the amps in the first picture they took it a little more serious lol..

Still waiting on the lift to show up.. 

Super happy with the progress and how it’s coming together though!

This is about week 7 since deposit.. 😳

A few updated exterior photos.

Exterior trim is all installed.

Looks like the fuel station is done as well. I can’t tell from the pics how it’s setup but it is done off a quick disconnect.

I had this on my last trailer as well and didn’t mind it. But I may modify it into a reel just inside the door. But I’ve got to get my cars loaded first to see if I have clearance.

I like your duel fuel tank concept. Will it will be one pump and nozzle or two separate? Now you got me thinking about duel tanks for my upcoming build. I don't need racing fuel but thinking it might be nice to carry gas for the toys and then an extra diesel tank for the Moho. And if I went this route I could do a diesel gen in the the trailer instead of needing to be gas. Crap, thanks a lot, there goes another 15k or so 🙂🤑🤑

Are you worried about some a-hole seeing your sink dump on the ground and giving you grief? I like the sink concept but seems like more hassle than worth? I just use the waterless hand cleaner and paper towels then go in the moho for a final clean. 

I’m sorry for the delay I’ve been in glamis all week.

Same hose.. but it will be interesting to see what they come up with to make it work. I have a feeling I’ll be modifying it to fit my needs..

Not worried at all. Just this week I was saying to myself how I wished I had that sink while I was barbecuing and had messy hands.

How much fuel and water is this bad boy gonna carry?

About 100 gallons of fuel, two tanks that are selectable so I can fill one with race and the other with pump if so desired.

And then about 50 gallons of water.It will have a sink in it that will just dump onto the ground so I can wash my hands and what not.

I’m actually pretty excited about that part as I don’t like dredging into the motorhome after working on something or cooking just to wash my hands.

Got a couple quick pics. Wheel well trims being installed and ladder access being cut in.

And now you are all caught up to what pictures I have.

These are from a week ago. It took 5 weeks to get from deposit to here. Trailer should be ready about the end of the month for pickup.. barring any issues with getting parts.

I have a couple concerns that will need to be addressed. 
First the led lights bezels are white. They’ll be yellow in no time if left so I will make them swap them out.

We brought the loft back so it’s just in front of the lift. My build specs a ladder for it. There is no place to put the ladder at this point if I have a car on the lift. They will need to Cut an access in the loft for the ladder.

Otherwise I hope to get new updates this week and will share them when I do.

I just wish the stuff would melt from my yard… 
Until then I’ll just sit here and drink my coffee… 😁😎

Interior is getting insulated and primed.

I went with as large of a loft as I could with still leaving room in front of the lift. I was going to go a different interior color but figure i prefer the brightness of white inside more than the looks.

The lower 36” of the walls will be done with carpet.

Unfortunately its the newbies who get into SxS and have no respect for other people and the descriptions you gave are the problem and it seens to be a majority of them making the few who have been off roaders for years who went to SxS look bad.

Oh I agree. I started jeeping in Moab in the 90’s. But a few hundred Jeeps rolling through town during a safari has turned into that every weekend and half of them give two shits about anyone but themselves. 

Frankly, this will just be the start of it if they don’t get a grip on it soon.

what kind of insulation will they put into it?  fiberglass stuff like in a house or some kind of spray in foam or ???? 

wont they wire it before putting the insulation in? 

will they insulate the ceiling?

 

Foam board insulation will be used. The trailer wiring is ran already. You can see some of the wires sticking off the walls and what not.

Yes they are insulating all the walls and ceiling. I will have the floor spray foamed when I get the trailer home by one of my suppliers.

Some thing similar to this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RMAX-Pro-Select-R-Matte-Plus-3-1-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-R-6-0-Foam-Insulation-Board-637900/313501508

Trailer is fully skinned on the exterior. They are cutting the trim pieces to fit prior to removal for paint. I am doing all black trims.

Interior is ready for insulation and aluminum. I’ll likely spend a few nights in this a season for quick over nighters so having the insulation in it for heat/cold/sound was important to me.
