Congrats Mrs Indy4x4fab, defintly a good choice in a first MV i am looking forward to more pics of your progression on this truck as well as future MV's you purchase as your own :)

drop down to 395's and get a pyrometer installed so you can safely tweak your fuel rate. beyond is there any mechanical drag issues like a sticking brake or something ?

wow awesome work mr and mrs morgan, you both have some crazy skills with MVs. i seen you had already done the top corners, but in the future if you need that sort of thign formed go see your local custom motorcycle fab shop. they can form them out of sheet metal the same way they form gas tanks...

if it is a bad starter you might be able to bump start it, as for brakes some trucks with air brakes i have seen have aux gland hands under the front bumper for flat towing by another air brake truck, you would connect the service line on the rear of the tower to the service line one the front...

wow, thats one bleep of a stuck, sucks you broke parts but at least you got it out. personally when i get to anything in the mud on or the beach it gets doubled up with a snatch block, limits the risk of breaking a bit, im stil lamazed at the damage to the shaft. 8 hours dang, gonna suck for...

being canadian snow is a fact of life, 6x6, 395 xzl's, and lockers if you dont have ice under the snow, chains are a must if you cant fit them. if not look into having a set of tires studded at a tire shop. for the flat faced axle tubes look into fabbing a bolt on attachment for the front axle...

i would recomend drilling a hole and welding a threaded bung into the hole and screwing in a small 1/4 turn ball valve at either the elbow or other lower point in the pipe, then make draining it part of your pre-trip inspection.

if i can find one even up as high as 10k thats not too bad as long as its still servicable ie: doesnt need thousands in repairs before putting fresh tires and paint on it. but would love to find something in the 5-8K range
