Amazing write up! A video can make you feel like you are there, a good write up can make you feel like you are the shooter. Thanks again. Golf clap…
Congrats, and prayers for your mom.
Theat,
I imagine those sheep think of us like we think of aliens coming from the sky and performing a battery of tests on us before returning us to a field in the Midwest with a sore bum! :ROFLMAO: Nobody is going to believe that dudes story when he gets back to the group.
Do turbos go out often? How much they soak you to replace one? I’m not a KnN guy myself. I always run OEM filters with the thought that the same engineer that designed the motor designed the filter and he might know something.
Nice rig Walt. I have about same tractor. Not going transcontinental with it though. I’m not worried about offroad prowess in this rig. Why did you go 3/4 vs. 1 ton? What don’t I get? Isn’t price negligible new and even more negligible used?
Yeah I’ve been towing almost that with my half ton. I shouldn’t be doing it and I’d like to be towing more but I won’t. Just across town for now but that won’t last. Then add the hill and “its all she’s got captain!”
What extra maintenance are you referring to IL?
For what I’m doing, I feel like a 3/4 ton is going halfway. I need to be able to pull heavy loads. Not everyday, but often enough. That said I felt like getting the gasser was going halfway but maybe it’s a descent compromise. I don’t need to pull it fast and I’m not in Colorado anymore so I’m...
Good stuff. Thanks guys. I’m not hung up on the diesel piece, just what I was thinking. I could go gasser, towing would be occasional. I’m not buying this rig for MPG but what MPG would you say a gasser would get? It would solve the gelling problem and save some scratch on purchase price...
I’m looking to get into a 1 ton diesel, ~5 years old, 8’ box. I don’t have any brand loyalties. I need to do some hauling and the rig will be used for hunting and other backcountry access. What brand would you buy and why? Are cold starts still an issue/concern when returning to a diesel truck...
I have a bunch of the Eagles, those are spending too. They seal well but I wouldn’t want them in the rig. Probably ok in a bed with topper though. Tie them down.
Aliby, check out thermarests neo air. It’s spendy, but superlite and I used it on Denali with now issue. Also my wife slept on it 8 mo pregnant and said it was the best night sleep she had while pregnant. That said this was all 10+ years ago so there may be something better out there, but we...
Ha! Ture! But.... If you really want to get laughed at, a little over 10 years ago I WAS dragging a tractor tire in my neighborhood. My Mexican neighbors got a kick out of the loco gringo but were good for cervezas after. I was training for Denali, which did include dragging a sled. Still a...
