Old injectors may have sucked a lot.

Paychex had a movie night showing that last week. I thought about going

21mpg to Tom's and back.

The new fuel sending unit's gauge is miles different than the old one. Tank will take just over 5 gallons at the 3/4 mark, before it was almost exactly 10 gallons there. Be a little more linear now.

Had one of the heim joints in my clutch linkage come loose today. Could have lost the nut and been up a creek but caught it loose and was able to tighten it. Bitch to get to but all fixed. Something to put a wrench on as PM I guess.

First real issue with anything tranny related since the air loss on inauguration. Not bad! (starter failure/ ring gear strip isn't the trans' fault)

Running _amazing_ with the new sticks and lines. Cooler, stronger. If I backed off the fuel plate just a skosh I could even just let the cruise eat on the hills. With the dak and Matt's jeep only the biggest hills on 390 made pyro too warm.

Sealing up the exhaust mani leak with the broken bolt may even do enough.

4 M3's id bet on this guy!

Definitely interesting. I wonder if those are narrow track axles or if that's a 102" deck that's split high/low on the inside/outside over the tires. pics don't do it justice. Only 6' longer than mine and still wasted tongue length. I'm 47' 2" overall from the coupler to the tail. Might get a third Jeep on but wouldn't get a fourth M2.

you see the Centurion in the background? Don't see many of those!

[mr.mindless]

I'm not 47', I'm 43'. Dunce. Coupler to deck is 7'2".

Anyway, the couple of you that've ridden in this thing since I put my new cheap steers on know how square they are. I'd put probably 3-5k on them and they were getting worse if anything. Almost as bad as the 80% Continental I retired. Thursday night I rotated them side to side do they're sinning the other way. I'd say 50-70% improvement. I'm surprised.

Should decide on new tire plans. Should probably at least put fresh drives on for winter, I think they're getting a little thin especially for 4x2 duty

The perfect replacement.

Log racks & chrome stacks!!!

Not sure how much you're looking to spend, but I may have a pair of used Goodyear steers if you're trying to save money. 40 to 50 percent

[mr.mindless]

I'm debating between 4 vs 6 tread wrights in 225 or 6 in 245.

[M4wdFab]

my sailUNs have decided to not wear nice anymore.  they have about another 10k left on them.

I am thinking the way the truck is towed with an SRW just cant take the power and gooseneck weight. 


id go to with 245's for the next set so at least i can tow in 5th gear when in convoy with fords and chevys 

[mr.mindless]

I'm thinking 245s might keep me in 12d instead of 12o when I'm not keeping up with you. Cooler trans and quieter ride might not be bad. Dunno if it's quite enough of a difference for that though.

[Nick]

I will probably go 245 on my hawg when theses tires are done.
