    Very very true.... Seen that unfold with my own eyes many years ago lol. At one time I could drink Jim Beam like water. My friend Roy and I were over at his father in laws one night caring on. Long story short, they got to seeing who could shoot the closest to the others hoof..... I ended up driving and opening doors to the ER as Roy carried his father in law in with a bullet wound straight down through his hoof!!:eek:

    Ok I have a Volvo that was specked for heavy haul according to the line sheet for 146k lbs. it is a D16 500 HP I shift with 264 rears. Personally I would never dream of taking this truck to do heavy haul with. I don't think the rear ends would work. You heavy haul guys tell me what you think? Need a laugh hehe
