Good luck on the trip, remember the pillow and to stay in the right lane. I-75 is the longest ride I have ever done. If your in Michigan between exit 1 through 180 and you have any trouble what so ever hit me up for parts, fuel, jump, battery, tow bar and support.
IGD
I was thinking a great place for a slave cable, misc tools, extension cord/light and back up 12-24v siphon pumps with hoses. Great stash spot. Excellent thread..!
Hey Andy, the top of the box looks like a sail to catch wind. Hope crossing the Mackinaw Bridge goes well. There was 60MPH cross winds last week. Hit me up if there is a problem I am around all weekend.
What are your plans on returning to Fla..? Are you driving or flying..? If your driving I have a set of air ride seats needing a ride back to Oddball in central Fla. I also agree with the consensus about Atlanta.
A piece of advise; Bring a pillow for your azz, makes the ride more doable IMHO.
The top frame of the receiver from the factory pictured is welded and bolted to the bottom of the bumper. The Dingo and trailer weighted less than an 18' bow rider. I just don't trust any trailer tong weight. The factory Pintail was fine. I pulled a M-105 from Kansas to Detroit no problem.
Safety First............!
I have to chime in here. Here are two pictures of the Top and Bottom sides of the factory hitch for a 1028, same as yours. I have a safety story to tell why it is still not on the 1028.
I had a 6" drop hitch slid into this receiver. I went to the local equipment...
Bob,
I am going to be in Wood County, NE Ohio the next few days, call my cell phone if you are on the side of the road. I going 23 the whole way. Good luck..!
Had a going away party tonight. I used the large Ammo Can grill for the first time. I cooked burgers and steaks. Service for 6. This was the first time I fired up this model. It did an excellent job with a little bit of charcoal. Thanks Tim..!
I would try a gallon of ATF with 1-2 gallons of diesel fuel. Run that through the system on idle hitting the pedal once in a while. You will not believe the difference in performance. Then on fill up add a few quarts of the cheap atf to keep the system clean. This should do the trick.
ABN173 Good looking out....!
That truck with the head gaskets replaced and in good running condition is worth 4-5g's Would have been a good build project truck.
You said the guy saw it in a stack. When its stacked its only 2' tall smashed to go through the shredder. Sad, sad day.!
