It is obvious your son in law was doing all the work. Only one hose run on either job. Mark was just there to showboat with the zipper and then wander off.

You are starting to remind us all of Chavezzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Are you going to sell the old Butler?

I hope you give Aaron his due and turn the new machine over to the guy who is most likely to work....

Hey now....you will notice I was running a Zipper and wand today :lol:

In one of the pics, I got Aron set up on that 2nd floor apt and then kept going and working on my own the rest of the day ....

Then, had to go assist him at a Job site when the 2011 Blew the front belts off the Butler....which was weird because we just put those and new lower crank pulley on about a month ago....but Butler asked to have belts shipped to them (what is left) as they had a bad run of them for a little while....

But it is all good, because I sent Aron to pick up an area rug with dog poo....and then get to work on that one and another with dog whiz back in the shop while I kept working ALONE ( :biggrin: ) out in the field.....

So there....smarty pants :lol:

The other van gets the wrap ripped off this weekend and new wrap installed on Monday, and new wheels next week as well....

Older Butler (2008) is sold to my brother Dave Saiger in our Bemidji, MN account....had about 20 + calls of people wanting to buy it....

Got them from local guy....he is my go to on everything I have done on vehicles.

The rims are SD Series Addict

Here is a sample link to them...with the sliding side door, we had to make sure we were close to stock offset with them...

Tires are Cooper Discover S/T Maxx

They are also 17 inch rims and tires and tires are load range E
Stock tires are 16 inch....

We are loving them right now....just ordered another set for the 2011 Van

do they rub? Nice rig Mark!

I have no rub unless wheel fully cranked hard and coming into a curb up kind of hard....It hit the inside of the fender well.....but not any other problems...and the rub is just a quick thing from suspension bottom out in the front....easy fix really

Or you could say it might fix itself too :lol:

I also have had front belts fail prematurely twice this year.

They are working on an update, or could say...they have an update....they had a couple issues I guess as belts were being built (from Germany) without higher climate heat in mind.

They addressed this but there were of course a few belts that went out without that consideration....belt maker was making them for a Massachusetts climate in mind....not knowing that there were more extreme climates in our areas I guess....LOL....
