    What is the lowest Hwy Gear for m1008?

    Our rigs IDEAL rpm is what? 1,650 RPM? I had a friend with a formula to offer the engine rpm at what speed with x size tires, y trans & z gearing...

    replacing bumpers on m1008

    Haha, can't help notice the color of yer rig in yer avitar ...and perhaps it was ordered as a fire vehicle cause the red is the 1st color over the primer... Unless they went to bare metal... But who knows? All I can say is the red was the only paint they did right, everything else is overspray...
