  1. If I was in the dirt business I would want a tri axle to carry more but I'm a for hire trucker and run mostly asphalt,no one here pays by the weight only buy the day and even the biggest longest tri axle dumps only carry 22-23 tons,my 10/w is legal for 23 ton and is great on tight jobs like tennis courts and small parking lots,I guess it all depends what type of work your doing but it makes sense to match the equipment to the type of work,but I will be the first to admit I'm getting tired of riding on these 58'000 rears..

  2. Also did u ever get the Haldex slack adjuster part number I left it on your previous thread?

    My parts guy knew witch one to give me but thanks for taking the time to post it and also thanks for the info on the permits,a lot of people think all ten wheelers will be denied permits,that would be a shame since there is so much work for them..
  3. Looks great. I'm thinking of putting something like that in a few areas of my cab(where I can get it to stick anyway). Anything to kill the drone/cut the noise.

    Man, I'm SOOOO jealous of these nice, clean, rustfree cabs!!!!!

    You can use roof or window flashing from home dopy,same stuff for a fraction of the price,used it on my RD years back and it took all the vibration noise out of the metal..
  4. TSC has these: http://www.tractorsupply.com/erickson-recover-strap-with-loops-55-000-lb-maximum-3040114

    They've got smaller ones, too, for less money. 27K, 18K, 10K ratings in addition to that 55K strap.

    The straps are the way to go but from what I read online you need a strap rated for double the weight of the truck you are recovering,they are very pricy for the upper ratings,they come up to 12 inches wide for the extra heavy loads,sure wish I had one for this blizzard,using a chain was not only a pain but not very effective..
