When I go to tractor supply, the yard guys fight over who gets to load my fence posts instead of hiding when they hear a yard order...

Oh, and on the last trip a guy in the parking lot helped me load my fence wire and strap it down just so we could chat about the truck...

The turn signals aren't a request or even a suggestion, but rather a warning! I can get new fenders, doors, and bed sides all day long at just about any junk yard! Them bumpers AIN'T plastic!
:driver:HAVE THE SAME FEELING WHEN I DRIVE MY SEMI WHEN THE SIGNAL IS ON THAT MEANS I COMING OVER

i managed to get to 90 on level ground once. somewhere in between fresno and sacramento.
Back when mine was stock I broke 100 on the 15S coming out of Vegas, in Rush Hour traffic too. I saw peoples heads turn when the giant Tan monster was out running all of them weaving through traffic. It was even a better sight that I was behind my buddy in his Tan m1009 as well.

WOW the calculator on the site says that's almost 3400 RPM..... with stock tires and gears....

I'm thinking you left a lot of the GOOD life of the truck on the road that day, but it yours and that's that!!
I get nervous at 65ish (bouncing speedometer) with the 33's and 3.08's..... (2000 RPM) but that's me......

i managed to get to 90 on level ground once. somewhere in between fresno and sacramento.
The day I picked-up my second one and drove it home I got it up to 93 on GPS, on a straight and level stretch of I-40. I had one wheel a bit out of balance, but it was still accelerating when I had to let off.

Still can't believe how fast this old truck is. Went Topless today, what fun!:D
