ALMOST! I went out today to do some shopping. I have a good number of burgers and a slightly less number of buns. I hope some of you like double burgers!
If kids are coming I guess I'll have to wear pants instead of that fancy swimwear Fastnova is selling.....
At the last event there were kids, they had a good time.
not sure if posting link is ok, but just searching e bay for 1400R20 xl tires brings up a seller in Oakes, ND, google says its about 200miles from bismarck.
It depends on what you want to do. If you're going to off-road and lift it and put on bigger tires then go for m1008. If you're going to keep it stock then m1009 is fine.
Fuel economy: my M1008 with 37" tires and hummer beadlocks I get 11-12 city, 17-20 hwy depending on how hilly it is and how...
Just so every knows that friday evening I will be making burgers (y) and hotdogs(~30) for a select number of attendees, X which will be determined by the space left in my cooler after I fill it with precious survival fluids.
Do the doghead relay mod. replace all fluids, and filters. Switch Glow plugs to 12V. The relay is 10-15$ and takes 30min tops to do, it should be one of the first things you do to your vehicle.
ETA: I wouldn't go bigger than 33" tires on the stock axles.
How about a list of who's coming?

If you want to you can preemptively pull the fuel pressure sensor and fill in the hole with JB weld. The sensor is for the diagnostic system which no one uses any ways. The fuel filter base tends to leak from there eventually.
This stay away from the swellmans. Also look into doing the resistor bypass for the glow plugs (I know rus doesn't like to do this, but look into it for your self). Don't forget to replace all of the fluids and filters (no tranny flush, just drop pan replace filter and fluid).
