Well we got home from our trip North yesterday evening. San Antonio to Springfield, Missouri on Tuesday, met the Kid Wednsday EARLY and he picked up the Mulholland Trailer from me and headed back to Kansas. Off we went to St. Louis Missouri, to drop off a Hardtop. Then on to O'Fallon Missouri where I picked up my new Black Tie Trailer. Then started to head back to Texas. We got as far as Joplin, Missouri to close out Wednsday. Left out yesterday morning and made it back to San Antonio about 8:30 pm, total miles driven in 3 days was 1795, door to door. Here is a pic of the new BT Trailer, fresh from the tow back to Texas, which I cleaned and detailed today. Next up is to de-bug the Truck and then get back on the new Trailer. Will be adding a Silver Bra to the lower portion, installing Prowler Trailer 15" Chrome Wheels and Tires and then installing the Larry Lord Trailer Stand and Latch Plate Reinforcement. The Foose Wheels on it now will go on my Red Trailer.

Thanks for the kudos, guys!:tu:
Bob, I hadn't thought about it much but it looks like the two trips we took in the F150, to Florida then North Carolina then back and this last trip is almost 5000 miles. And it took nearly 3000 miles to drive the Black Tie to the Nursing Home Nationals and back. Looks like close to 8000 miles this year :eek:.
But I'll tell you what, Felici and I have had more fun travelling this year than I can ever remember.
Next time I buy something I hope it is West or Northwest from Texas though, we're getting tired of driving East and Northeast.

Did a little work today, installed the Upper Black Bra on the trailer lid and was able to get the Foose Legends off (took a special tool to remove the lug nuts which of course didnt come with the Trailer) but I was able to 'engineer' a way to get them off. Then installed the original Chrome 15" Trailer Wheels and Tires. The Foose Wheels actually looked better but a one of only 15 made Trailer deserves to be original.
All I have left to do is install the Lower Bra, a Silver one, and then mount the LL Trailer Stand Kit so I can store it upright. Here's a look at the Trailers in my Garage now:

Extremely so. Usually I put 17" Prowler Car Wheels and Tires on my Trailers because they are a lot heavier and help keep the Trailer from bouncing all over the road when empty.
