    What...no hardwood.
    I had hardwood in my 359 and I'm thinking about it in my 379. Have you seen those epoxy floors with the built in LEDs? Pretty cool, but not my thing.

    Trucking is the same. In 12 months 3 local BTO, Big Time Operators who I know. Not friends, not buddy's. Have called the guy with the old pile of junk to ask what I have been up to and is it going good? I know what they do, see what they do. Care 0% what they do. But they are bold enough to call and ask me.

    I'd just change the oil and see if shutting off and running out the fuel stops it.

    @MACK E-6

    I'm sure eventually. They are oil filled though to prevent friction and wear. However, I imagine after 10 years or so....they will start to wear. I've had a previous set on my steers for prolly 500k with no problems. I have them on my steers and rear drives now. Waiting on another set in the mail for my front rear. I might even put them on my trailer when I put new tires on, but that is a long way off.
    You having problems with yours?

    Just like folks that want to do all these expensive mods to their truck to gain 1/10 of a mpg and what not.

    Lol right. I'm not concerned. I get what I get and I make enough money to be happy with it. I look at some of those aero trucks with all the crap hanging off of them and just laugh. Most are the same folks that will never shut off their trucks or have to do their 65mph no matter what. I do get upset at that though. Getting passed in a shoddy construction zone doing 35-45mph trying like crazy just to keep my truck in my lane. Then some ###### comes cruising by at 65mph and dang near puts me in the barriers. I'm not a road rage guy.....but I might make an exception for them.

    Gonna do sound deadening under the rubber but we were also thinking of vinyl floor like one of the members recently did. Might of been Stacydude. What we had before was the 1/2in rubber mat plus fitted carpet with a bunch of floor mats on top of the carpet. All those layers really killed the sound and kept the heat/AC in good

    Lol not sure what the western way is exactly, but I didn’t tear anything up, destroy anyone’s yard or property or have the cops called.

    There was no gate. There was no pad. There was 2 guys with chainsaws on their first day walking the prospective line.

    They were open to just about anything I wanted so I made the choice to have them escort me out the road and spot for me, and they took me to a drop lot from another project to unload my pipe 10 miles away.
