Thanks for your husband's service to his department as well. I know we have a few people on the site that volunteer as well! I will say we need every one of them too! I started in 1994 at 14 years old This is my 30th year with the department. I was the Fire Chief from 2018 till 2020 right after...

So I just talked to him and he was good starting at $10 he said he would meet the winner and give them the whole back story on the photo. As he said, "he could go on for hours about the picture..." Like I said, he can talk and keep it interesting... He realizes it is a niche item, but as you...

Not harsh at all, I know it's a niche market and that is why I was asking. Most of the people that attend are local, there are a few that may be are not because they know someone connected to the fire department or one of their friends invited them, that type of thing... Including a dinner is...

Wow, no buddy? I guess the silence tells me I need to start it low...

I would have driven from Indiana for that... Why didn't I? Well, timing was my problem all year!!! So in January for the two good weekends, we had. The kids had basketball games that did not want to miss. The first weekend I figured, not a big deal we had all winter. The second weekend we did go...

All right so this is completely off topic but I'm sure there's others that either are involved in or attend functions like this one so I'm looking for a little input. So the fire department I volunteer for holds a firefighters ball as a fundraiser. Basically the events very similar to a wedding...

I did not know it was possible to get in here and close everything back up again either! Thanks for the tips!

I know I have not responded this week, it's just been very busy... All is good just busy, both work and working on a fundraiser for my volunteer fire department. Just not find anything I really like or got to have right now. That alone tells me to wait and take things slow. Like I said I'm a...

I'm going to have to give you a call. Some of my I exact same thoughts. The turbos were one of my concern with the new Rams hence another reason to start looking now... I kind of figure if I rule out the 2500 now then that pretty much leads me to a 1500. Which means I have to make my decision...

You had family friends do this to you? Wow... Bad enough for it to happen. Even worse when it should be someone you think you can trust.

Yeah, I can definitely wait till its the right time for me. What got me think about it was seeing some of the deals they were running. I was interested if the prices were just dropping or deal were coming back. I think its a little of both depending on what you are looking for... Since I have...

You are correct, it happens everywhere. My point was certain states tend to make is easier for squatters vs the owners. I think why were are seeing it more is just like everything there are more cameras and people sharing that information now. Ironically I think those same cameras keep people...

Good info, 1500 probably making more since, for practicality for every day but towing well 2500 are just bigger... Will I do those long trips out west... probably not. I guess the other thing to thing about is the trailer. How long will I be needing it for the most of my towing? My oldest son is...

I have to say thanks I was pretty sure everybody was just going to say go with the bigger truck... 😂 Like I said I'm not jumping in anything right away but starting to do my research. That way the right deal comes along I can jump on it. Also, I currently run airlift 1000s on my rear...

So I'm starting to think about a new truck. I have a 2013 RAM 1500 4x4 5.7L Hemi with the 8 speed trans, 3.21 rear end and 130,000ish miles. Fully loaded my trailer is 6680lbs. How ever 90% of my trips will be in the 5740lbs range. Either way I'm up at the upper end of the trucks rated load...
