Been doing a little work on the Hoe

It's amazing what we can load on em.... with my 5er and my jeep in tow I'm 30,600 with room for another 70 gallons of fuel on the truck and all water tanks empty on the 5er..... of course that weight is spread over 16 tires... LOL

Stink, did you end up cranking up the torsion bars any?
 
My bars are cranked about an inch, thats all. That was 50K ago and ball joints are holding up great so I aint going any higher.




I havent put her on scales but Ive got alot of extra crap that stays in it daily. Winch/cradle and all the wiring that goes with it. Inverters, drills, saw, dual batteries, machetes, axe, ice chest,ropes and chains, etc, etc... spare hub trailer parts. Also My tool drawers (not counting the above items) weigh at least 300 lbs if not more Im sure.


I like to be prepared for everything. :sun:
 
I played around with one of my aluminum wheels yesterday. Instead of wet sanding and polishing I opted for something a little less maintenance wise. I used the duplicolor etching primer and their "Stainless steel" colored wheel paint. I wanted a satin aluminum look. While I had it off sanding, painting, etc... I went ahead and taped off for the black plastikote and did a test run on it. I like the way they came out and will probably remove it, then paint the black with some satin enamel and do the other 3 the same.

Also repainted center caps and drilled/taped the 3 holes to accept nicer phillips screws instead of the rusted allen heads that are Were in there.


Let me know what you think!

Sharp looking truck Stink. That's they way they should look from the factory I think.

You got a front mounted receiver hitch? If so what brand? I really need one I think.
 
It looks much nicer to me, I like the black out look.
Now your a freakin' painter?? Nothing you can't do.:beer:
Which somehow reminds me of the old Electrolux vacuum cleaners. Anyone ever paint with one of those? Not a big derail I hope...
