    Striking hardened Steel on hardened Steel is a bad idea.

    Hub flip

    Another trick for the old race is just cut a relief in it. Band saw or wiz wheel. They tap right out after seating the replacement race.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Exhaust stack flaps are perfectly safe to operate on these trucks. Ensure they fit correctly and are flush when static. I have them on several trucks and tractors. Tractor Supply carries a nice assortment of sizes. Change the cheap bolt out with a good SAE bolt w/ lock nut.

    M998 with no EUC necessary?

    GP clearly states "OFF ROAD USE ONLY" on the their website, additionally, the title/documentation issued by GP states the same restriction. Owner/operator of the vehicle will be responsible for the legal operation of the vehicle. Owner/operator will have to deal with the major law suit.

    Need help priming NHC250

    The stock canister filter housing is held in place by the long center bolt. Do Not attempt to "unthread" it. The existing system works well and does a good job at water separation. Get a case of filter elements from SS member Stonepicker. A case will last a very long time. If anything, upgrade...

    Looking for a 2nd spare tire location...

    Check your spare winch, it should be equipped w/a plate that is secured with two lug nuts once the spare is in the stowed position. Cable tension can be relaxed a bit.
