    Lugs OVERTIGHTENED

    Next time you go to a tire shop ask them to torque the nuts to the same specs as a large commercial truck. We tighten all our nuts and then use a torque wrench to make sure everything is equal. I had a one ton that the garage overtightened the lugs and they cracked some bolts and I lost a set...

    Too bad you are far away, I have a complete set of screens and canvas, spare MBUs x5 , cabinets etc.. shipping from Canada would kill you. But you have a nice unit, what did it sell for from GL if you don't mind my asking. The 3 MKTs I have bought were from authorized dealers and they cost...

    I finally got a mule.

    Well nice Mule, I bought a Mule from Dave at the Gilbert Show. it is great and it runs great. If you need parts ask Dave he has nearly everything. I really liked dealing with Dave good people. At the Gilbert Show he had a mount for a 106mm RR, did he mention that to you??

    Avoid mixed fuel fines....

    Well here is my 2 cents worth. is it really worth all the hassel and trouble to use WMO etc. I know diesel is $3.00 + @ gal. But if you figure your time to collect, clean and store the product plus all the potential troubles with dipping/fines, is it worth it? It is great as an emergency backup...

    Towbar stowage

    There is absolutly no way you can overload the front axle by putting the towbar on the front bumper, even if you had a winch mounted. A towbar weights 100lbs+-, the front axle and springs can carry 5 to 7 tons no problems. Don't forget the deuce is rated to carry a load of 2 1/2 tons cross...
