    I think they really look good with a heavy front axle.

    I have, just seems like a waste of time to get involved with. I get in enough trouble.

    That's my vote. Miters or the sharp turnout.
    Edit: I'm not much on the slammed look either. But to each their own

    Ran Sudbury to Shuniah today. 617 miles in 12 hours is darn good for the 17 in Ontario at 93,000lbs gross.

    Got a little hairy when the sun went down west of Terrace Bay and my jakes not wanting to hold me well on 7% downgrades.

    It's one thing when the sun is up and you can see the bottom of the hill. It's another when the only warning you get at the top is the sign with the truck on the wedge with no % or length and its pitch dark.

    Makes me want one of those new X15's really bad. Friend of mine who I mentored in the US this week took me through the 17 today. He was holding 96,000 gross back in 12th gear at 80 km/h and I was struggling in 5 direct at 30 kph.

    Always willing to try something new and even this CAT fan can't balk at a strong performing motor (he was even out pulling another of our 550 CAT's running 98,000 gross earlier in the day).

    We run Ontario a lot and I want a truck that'll keep me safe on those huge hills.

    Oops... Sorry. Didn’t mean to give you rolleyes. I meant to hit the grin. :oops:

    Anyhoo, while we’re talking trucks, this one is definitely me. :D

    ...And it has Daytons on it. :cool:

    Yeah, yeah... I know. It can’t compare with a Pete or a KW, but when a construction company I once drove for put me in one of those from ‘85 I was the proudest driver around.

    5370644A-4012-4392-8972-F2497FD89B4D.jpeg Maybe it’s a west coast thing, but I love a slammed ride. Now the T800 I drive, I love the height it has. But also two different applications
