    You'll get another one one day. Probably one in much better shape.

    Confused on Towing

    I've towed my 5500lbs boat behind my M1009 several times. It wasn't happy but it handled it just fine. Just make sure your braking system is in great shape.

    Wreckerman's Spring Fling

    So here's my report from this weekend's events. I took off from work on Friday around 3:30pm and headed up to Fort Paine to the Little River Canyon Backcountry area. It's miles of off road trails and the description on the NPS said 4x4 only which was a given based on looking at the river...

    I won't be getting up there until late. Can I just get it on Sat when we're there for lunch?

    Fording Thought

    I was thinking more like a floating ball check valve. So when the water goes up to the bellhousing the ball starts floating up and closes the valve.

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    It would hit the fenders when you turned too.

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    Thanks for the advice. :beer: I drove the truck to work today. I had the fronts at 55psi and both of the rears at 50psi. The truck was a little more stable, I was able to get it up to 50mph. I did remember that 50mph indicated on the speedo is actually 57mph. So I was able to do 57mph at...

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    Okay, the rear rears were at 40psi, the front rears were at 35psi. :-? I upped all 4 of the rears to 50psi and the fronts to 55psi. I also tightened the drag link ends as far as I could, and lubed the drag link and tie rod ends real well. The steering has always had that slack in it and...

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    Aired up the fronts to 45psi, rears still at 35psi. Went up to the range today. Still wandering all over the road. :( Going to try 45psi in the back tomorrow. Still haven't checked the toe yet. BTW, There's about 1-2" of slack in the steering wheel when it's centered. Is that too loose? I...
