Re: Superhitch
Fishhunter wrote: So, I'm looking for a hitch setup for pulling my boat (6000# more or less) while hauling my TC. I will also need a 24" extension. My question is will I need to remove my factory hitch and replace it with a Torklift Superhitch to use the extension? Good morning, We also to a 5000 pound ski boat behind our F350 and Lance 1131. I would absolutely recommend and have been incredibly pleased with Torklifts hitch and extension to get the job done! I know you probably got other options. But having seen some of those set ups. Nothing like a security of a great product. Gerrit313Views0likes0CommentsRe: Please Learn how to post photos in this Forum

Lolololool... @bighatnohorse I would gladly donate a cord of wood to not see them(Stickys) go away or in my neck of the woods $11 bucks. If we get that times 3 x that we would be at $33 bucks for 15 minutes, which means the person that gets rid of "stickies" will make $132 bucks an hour..... Tongue in cheap, like a buck speared by a XLT Venom bow........ just sayin...382Views0likes0CommentsRe: Removing sticky threads from display
Thank you all for the responses. It just seems the sticky's(grammar police) where an attempt to coagulate(definition police) all the wonderful info here. I think most people do not prefer to culled (synonym police).... But in all seriousness... I read a lot here... Never from the stickies(spelling police) and solely from your original, uncatorgorized thoughts. Again, thank you! Also, thank you Wayne, I'd second that and call for a motion and vote ! :)440Views0likes0CommentsRe: Finished our solar Cover for the Camper/Truck/Etc..
sleepy wrote: Very nice.... I am very impressed and envious! What are the materials used in the posts and beams? Was this commercially constructed? Are you connected to the power grid.... send them electricity all day.... get some back at night? I live at 36° latitude.... we are seeing PVSolar farms close by. Chet Hi Sleepy, Pressure treated timber beams were used. I GC'd the " Array Structure" myself, then hired a company locally here (Green Convergence) to do the install with SunPower solar products. I am connected to the grid. Here in California we have "net metering". Which basically means I am billed once a year for the difference in what I produce vs. what I use. The system was built with 15% over production to compensate for future growth (electrical use). The first few years, ill make more than I use and get a check back for the amount I make in excess of use at the rate Edison pays for their Energy (30 cents on the dollar approx). Looking forward to never having an electric bill again. Those solar Farms are something to see. The future cometh. :) Gerrit353Views0likes0CommentsRe: Finished our solar Cover for the Camper/Truck/Etc..
Thanks all, Believe it or not each panel is quite light for being 3' x 5'. The structure was engineered to have a solid roof. Hence the large beams. The footings are massive 3' x 3' rebar laced cement that are located under the pavers. To qualify for the federal 30% rebate we could not make a solid roof covering. So for now it will leak in the seams. But again I purposely build the structure to handle a solid roof which we will retrofit later. That idea was to bring down the entire cost of my lumber, paint, brackets, footings etc. by 30%. Funny thing is the inspector said that one of the biggest reasons everything had to be so stout was because of wind and uplift. We live here in the canyons and he said he seen these things blow up like kites in the wind. Now to fix my gates :()353Views0likes0CommentsFinished our solar Cover for the Camper/Truck/Etc..
Hi All, A little different than everybody else's solar projects, but serves multipurpose's Obviously electrical generation, but it also provides protection (shade mostly) for the camper and the house. The number one destroyer of toys in Southern California is the sun. It worked out perfectly that our side yard could have a pitched roof that faced south to gather the most amount of light. Thanks for looking, have a great day" Gerrit2.3KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Remote Atwood Jacks
