I'll be honest, if my truck in Iraq could've done 80 I sure would have done it in a heartbeat.
If I saw a mv passing me doing 80 I'd catch up and try to have a chat with him to see what he has done.
All I could think of was you set your pistol down while climing on a truck and the goat came over and let you know how it really feels. Can't trust them goats you know.
Do get better though. I left the foot and pins with zev, and ended up finding another foot pin when going through stuff in my...

I have been fighting for a day trying to break the bead on one wheel and so far all I have to show for it is a broken chain and a day almost gone...
I had a pallet with a huge water tank on it, think almost 5000 gallons of water with a little pump and some hose. My 5 axle pls could load and unload the pallet no problem empty, could even unload full. Try to load it full and you're asking to break something. The tank took up at leat 15 feet of...
