    Pump house is froze up. Heater quit working. Had a spare heat tape I put on it. So, we'll see what happens and what all screwed up now.

    Get the factory 500hp 12.7 instead. Huge performance difference between the 470 vs 500.

    We've had really good luck with the Hankooks, been running them for years. But the price of the imports are very appealing. Had to give them a go. Still have one set of Hercules on the other truck to see how they do on the different suspension setup, the one set we ran to the end were on a T-800 with Hendrickson suspension, the other truck is running Neway with the wide spread on the drives. Better traction but a little more scrub so we'll see how they do.

    Myself and I think Brett have run the double coins. They aren't bad at all. I don't think they are a great bargain though.

    You guys in the deep freeze there in ID as well? I've never seen the temps drop as low as they did here at home last night in my 53 years of living here in northern AB. Holy F it was cold last night.

    What do you pull, and what terrain?

    I've got 2 240" T-800 winch tractors, a '98 and '02. Tri axle scissornecks get the most mileage, also have a 9 axle Aspen, and a 40 wheel Aspen combo, both RGN. Haul everything from campshacks to log loaders, the logging and oil patch stuff are in a lot of hills so they get the chains quite often for the off road stuff. We are hard on shizz

    @AModelCat, how goes the PRs? I militaried 315 finally. All I have to do now is reverse grip and I will own it once again. I’ve maintained 215, but next year, I am going to try to see if I can lean up a bit more and prep for a 3 gun competition.
