    The old man had a cassette of his we would listen to when going fishing. I think I can still remember almost all of vacation bible school and the ballad of the blue cyclone

    My first set went 369,000, but of course I burn way more hydrocarbons than you. I haven’t baked any. I just replaced with aftermarket. More money, but faster turn around.

    Had them years ago, they are to prone to wheel spinning doing the snowplowing, the needed torque is at higher rpm. Wouldn’t normally be an issue,but we do residential. Most of my places I’m clearing I have to fold in the mirrors, no room for any slippage or spinning of tires. Plus the trade in value is almost double over the gas ones.

    I have ordered 2500 doll hairs worth of parts for the epic jeep build. I finally decided to stroke it. Just bored it .030 over. Should take the 4.0 to 4.7 and from 190 horse to bumping 300

    They gave him 45 k for the one traded on my 2023. It was 7 years old. He gets them with extended bumper to bumper coverage and full maintenance plan, no more reaching into pocket for anything for 5 years. Just tires and fuel. He likes the fixed monthly cost and the depreciation aspect of it

    That’s more than enough to get it on down the road!
