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.

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 :D

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.

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 :(

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.

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?

Ok I read an article a few years back about a company going there to help find solutions for their failures.

Of course if repairs were nothing I'd drive a Gallardo as my daily. Yep I'd sport snows in the winter

Love it!
