They are fun in sand, but look out for the high side!

Tomorrow is going to suck. Taking down a bunch of trees in North Branford in some VERY tight quarters. Barely enough room to sneak the crane boom in where it needs to be. Going to be lots of mats to pick up and put down just to get to where we might be able to reach.

At least they're nice straight oaks and birch 12-24" DBH and I'm taking the wood off the job.

Hopefully starting ball joints tomorrow. In the meantime I really need to avoid pot holes

Oh come on, live dangerously, Miles!

Kyle, sweet truck man. Doesn't look like there is much rust on it. What are the plans for it?

There ya go! CT is world renowned for it's amazing off-roading and lax OHV laws.

Thanks guys. It has some rust, PO bid some "body work" that I may or may not address later. Right now, it needs a new right hand side radius arm mount. It's rotten right where the bushing does through, looked em up on lmc, 49.95 brand new, and this truck has the mount that s bolted so swapping should be really easy!

Seems to run pretty decent, has a tough time starting after t's been running, computer has some code about the secondary air injection not correct so maybe that is the cause. I gotta say though, it feels like big six in my '82 has a lot more ***** than the six in this truck, maybe it just because the '82 has that 4spd.
