    Dust covers, rear axle on trailer had a terrible design, more or less hoseclamped on, removed week 2 i had it, front axle has a good sturdy bolt-on setup

    So the existing style of cover mount is an important consideration

    2010 though, so they were likely still figuring it out then

    Is that with a steak dinner and a bottle of wine or are they just sticking it up your ### dry?

    if tires and brakes are major expenses this might not be the business for you…

    I went from 9.80 an hour to driving truck. 5 gallons mix assorment of anti freeze. Oil and window cleaner is a major expense.
    In order to live like no other, you have to live like no other. I know where im at and I know where I started. If I don't know where I'm going. How am I supposed to know how to get there.?
    This is for me. I just need the real life experiences. The cheaper ones first would be nice thou.
