Looks like a good time Wombat, 'cept the whole tire popping thing

How'd that heavy Cummins handle the uphill on those rocks?

Funny that you mention heavy, because I just had it on a scale a few days ago. Clocked in at 6500 lbs. I have a friend with a QC/LB '98 24v Cummins, and he weighs just under 7500 lbs with smaller tires. These 1st gens are much lighter than the newer trucks. But to answer your question, I had it in 4lo and 1st gear, and it idled itself right up the hill at a crawl.

Looks like a good time WR, shy of the popped tire that is.

1st gen being lighter I can understand. DOT registered my 76 at 4500lbs and my truck at 5500lbs.

Looks nice, looks nice.


Personally, I prefer the factory lights better. I've never found an aftermarket light that looks nice, but eh, whatever floats your moat.
