^yeah, but it becomes a weak link when you double that planetary up. It's a complex fab setup to use the case for a traditional dual tcase setup. Using the guts in a DIY case is useful, but see my first sentence. The better option on that is yank the guts from a 241.

I've been driving the 98 this past week and even on interstates, I have to say the Mud Claws are comfortable. At 60 they don't sing to loud and ride pretty good. The great thing about them, you can stick them in the mud and they'll come out the other side. Great tires. K.

Got two new e-fans today... I was having trouble with the drive pin snapping on the SPAL fans I had... I got DERALE this time... same 16" size, slightly less CFM and current draw (by their spec), but since one SPAL keeps up fine, it isn't a problem... maybe it will be a little quieter.
I have to put some new rivnuts in the shroud, as the mount hole spacing is a bit different.

Went out in the woods today with my truck for some white oak, came out like this...

Now mind you that oak is fresh cut. The rest of the tree is still out in the woods.

My truck was just barely touching the bump stops!

I dont burn wood... my buddy and I are gonna start selling cord wood. Clearing my lot of all the good sized maple, oak, beech, and other hard woods. Selling what we get cut and buying a load of log length wood.
