Been awhile but about to get started on this again, somewhat out of necessity. No my wife didn't kick me out...
I've been using the trailer quite often for normal hauling needs. Very happy with it...very. My FJ pulls it anywhere I want to go without issue. Used it at the Texas Toyota Jamboree.
Seems I developed some Thyroid cancer and they had to remove my thyroid, all of it, they believe they caught it and removed it all in time but to make sure I have to take the silver bullet and ingest a radiation saturated salt pill in a few weeks. Mark, your wife went through this so you know what I'm talking about. I've got a Mombasa 9010 RTT purchased and and am trying to get a quick mount done with the help of some buddies...since I haven't had any thyroid in my system for 4 weeks, I'm worthless right now, in preparation for this event. I have to quarantine myself afterwards for 4-5 days since we have a 9 mo old boy now...and even then for another week or more I can't even touch him or his stuff...plus keep a reasonable distance. Don't want to kill off his thyroid in the process.
So, if there is a way to pull this off I'm going to mount this up, tank up some water, my generator and maybe an outdoor shower along with my cookware and what not and go be one with the critters for several days around the first week of deer season in November. Hopefully I'll have enough left in me to do so. Luckily I can start taking thyroid immediately after the pill so maybe I'll come back to life pretty fast.
So.. gotta:
1. Figure out a quick mount for the RTT, can be temporary for now.
2. Finish my tailgate cables.
3. Remount my landing leg.
Get a shower bought, some of this has to do with me being able to decontaminate from day to day.
I have a killer expedition cowboy bedroll (huge), a great generator if I need to take it (brand new 5500 Honda), plenty of water hauling capability as well as fuel. Load up 3 coolers, 2 with food/drinks and the third with ice only. I have my Coleman camp stove and a half dozen propane canisters. Thinking about grabbing a Nexgrill portable and using my big tank with it maybe.
What else does a man need...well besides a handful of weapons of course and a few sharp knives!
