Nice work! When I was in, my battery's motto was "Death from Below"

Was a Stinger gunner, ADA.

Hopefully they don't use salt in Alaska. They never used to in WA, but we are full of wussies who can't drive in the snow and blame the weather on the mayor, now. Salt sucks.

yup not bad at all i was shocked to see my mileage above 250 and no empty light yet

although I do throw the truck in neutral down big hills so that helps out a lot crusing at 600 RPMS and 60 mph

I ended up doing the mount and balance myself and that was a pain in the *** since the tires are so DAMN heavy - also had to use tons of sticky weight on the inside of the rim to balance it- a few tires where in good shape and only used 1.75/1.00 oz but one tire was WAY off.



front end taken off minus steering rack
