Probably not as much as you'd think. At over 11,000 lbs with a high center of gravity they are pretty tipsy. It's now part of our required training to do a rollover drill where the folks inside ****** the gunner from the hatch before he gets crushed to death.

That's interesting, we were taught that when you feel it flipping JUMP. lol

It's still armor plated and very protected. We had canvas tops and not grenade proof. some of our Jeeps had sirens attached to the front fender. Now tell me that's not impressive. lol

Good morning everyone.

Did some front end work last night, and the tone ring on my new hub isn't lining up with my ABS sensor. Not sure what the issue is. Later today I'm enjoying another application of the lifetime alignment service from Firestone.

Dropping the kid off with the grandparents and headed to the new brewery in Middletown with the wife. She's very excited to get out without Hannah for the first time.

Yeah, might get the chance to do it again soon. On the test drive the tech noticed that it doesn't return to center after turning right. Surprised I never noticed that, so looks like something else is getting replaced. And then they'll align it again.

Hello all! Real nice day out there today. Spent the day sorting my tool shed out, went in there only to find my steering wheel puller. Now I can tackle the job of putting a new clock spring in the van, it'll be nice to have a horn and cruis control again.

Good evening. ordered a new fan clutch for my truck today, was going to put that off until summer because i thought they were like $330..but rockauto had a motorcraft for $250. woot! I sold my 05 front end though, going to use that for some other upgrades that will benefit the truck much more than a new nose

Good morning guys.
Did everyone remember to set your clocks ?
It was a great day yesterday.
I put a nice new pair of lights on my dump trailer yesterday.
Only half of the LEDs worked on the old ones.

Miles where did you get those LED fog lights and do you get flashed with them?

Good morning everyone. I enjoyed the heck out of the warm weather yesterday, but looks like we're back in the freezer for the next few days.

Afternoon guys..

Andy, my buddy just bought some from online-led-store.com seemed like good construction,price, and super bright. He mounted them on his back rack as work lights so no input on if they are too bright for driving. But they do scare the crap out of tailgaters lol
