August 27, 201312 yr Going to get a windscreen for the backhoe on Thursday in hopes of a better sale price. It's cheap but I have to uninstall it. It's the glued on kind. I was thinking either some sharp knives or wire to take it off. And plenty of patience.
August 27, 201312 yr There are 2 backhoes of the same model as mine for sale locally and they are over $20k. Less hours and better condition. Looks like $15k is within reach
August 27, 201312 yr Backhoe sale will finance the house rebuild. From the ground up, same ground surface, different layout, floor + livable attic.
August 27, 201312 yr Backhoe sale will finance the house rebuild. From the ground up, same ground surface, different layout, floor + livable attic.Damn I wish I could build a house for 15k. I've seen some homes built in the Philippines that would cost 500k here built there for a little of nothing.
August 27, 201312 yr Want:http://bit.ly/1djAluh Fuck'em. Either too tall for how short they are (SWB version) or way too long wheelbase and they get hung up on obstacles (LWB version). Marginally stronger front axle than what Jeeps have. Divorced transfer case. My Jeep with Addco swaybars flexes as much a G-Wagen. Heavy as a pig. Radius arm suspension which although strong and simple is not a good geometry. The good: reliable powerplants and transmissions, front and rear difflock out of the factory on some models. I can't say their engines are bulletproof though

I've seen some homes built in the Philippines that would cost 500k here built there for a little of nothing. Don't imagine a huge honkin pallace, it's probably around 1000 sq ft on the ground. So around 2000 sq ft total livable surface is in plan.
August 27, 201312 yr I found that a local Mpls shop will do a clutch and flywheel for about 2000-2500.Not cheep, but really not the brutal amount I was thinking. Dealer was at 3500. That is a little bit harder to stomach.Seriously? 3 years ago I was quote $12k from Motorwerks Did someone say luxury car service?

I can't say their engines are bulletproof though I was at the Benz dealer this past week, almost shit when I saw they STILL make them....and they are over $100k, ROFL.
August 27, 201312 yr Of course if repairs were nothing I'd drive a Gallardo as my daily. Yep I'd sport snows in the winterLove it!
August 27, 201312 yr WOOT WOOT free ice cream at work all day today with 30min heat breaks every hour! I would have taken the day off if they didn't give us ice cream
