    Is anyone running anything OTHER than 6TLs? My truck should be here shortly and I will need batteries. I am looking at possibly group 24s or group 34s.

    This thing is worse than a 1 ton pickup in the snow. How do you not make it suck? Not like tube sand is going to work. Unless maybe its the whole pallet. I also have to ask with people with boxes on the back... Does the weight help?
