    Silly question, but what do you reckon the traction weight alone weighs in at?

    Sorry I don't know the nomenclature. But the counter weight sitting over the drive axles of the trucks that are pushing/pulling the mine trucks down the road..

    Finally fixed my truck at home. Can’t wait to go to work now that I actually have power again. Culprit was a cracked exhaust manifold and my turbo was dying. I still need to buy some fenders as I hate stuff getting thrown at the headache rack. But I cannot decide wether to do a full tandem fender or just a half fender. They get stupid expensive just for plastic. The full would help keep the winch track clean but don’t know if it’s worth the headache as I’d have to relocate all 6 of the rear lights above the mudflap. Minimizer has a good setup but it’s $2100 without tax or shipping.

    These are about $2300 or more. I didn’t check shipping and can’t find it locally. A half fender with basic mounting bracket is $900. If I do a full fender I need one with lights as the frame isn’t long enough past the tire for a mudflap bracket with lights. These prices also with me installing it myself.
