Mule what rubber do you have on the ol girl, 315 Duratracs?

And how the hell do you "pinch" a hole in the bottom of the tank

Yeah, put 315/70R17's on there a few years ago. Had them studded, pulled the studs out that summer (wouldnotrecommend/10) with the intention to use those tires in the summers and get another set of studded tires for the winter. With the shitty winters we've been having, I haven't gotten another set of tires yet...

I have no idea how they did what they did. At least they're taking care of it.

Studded duratracs weren't good enough?! I have been very impressed with the stock duratracs on my truck for winter use.

Studded is great on snow/ice, they're just noisy and kind of skatey on dry pavement and offroad.
What I wouldn't recommend is pulling studs out of a studded tire. Get another set.




Unstudded isn't bad, but studded is more better.

OMG - I pulled all the studs out of a set of tires - It took a couple of hours - My hands and wrists were toast afterwards.

New (used) tank in. New fuel pump in. Everything seems to be good now. Hopefully this is all over with for a while...

Fact: PW's look best with a snowmobile in the bed. Finally running well again.


Photo shoot for one of our sponsors last weekend. Let one of the models take my sled, I hopped on the snowbike, buddy took his tracked SxS to haul gear out.

I decided Mule was onto something good, so I killed my fuel pump at the gas station an hour ago. This is really fun dude, good idea!

We are setup and ready to go.

Is this your first time towing with 37’s?

That was, but now I've towed with them all the way to Moab.

Towed like a dream. As far as stability and stuff. But anyone who says they don't notice 37's while towing is lying.

Just a little practice session after dinner. Nothing challenging, just a fun run with the kids. No matter how many times we run this trail, it never gets old. Always a blast.

Recovering our 10,000lb track mounted direct push subsurface exploration rig. Was burried about 3-3.5 feet and took my winch and the 16,500lb winch on the rig attached to a tree while operating the tracks to go forward. Really impressed by what this truck is capable of. The winch on the f450 (16,000lb drill rig) burned up lol. The f450 had three hydraulic jacks down to keep from sliding. I kept inching toward it as I pulled. A 6' drainage ditch behind us, had my rear tire within about 18" of it.

Couldn't strap the back of your truck to the base of one of those large tree's behind you?

Sweet recovery!

There was a 6’ ditch about 18” behind my rear tire full of water. Didn’t have my chest waders so wasn’t a practical option. Thanks, was fun and managed to get a small bonus for the recovery on top of my normal salary!

Wow. I think that’s what a few snatch blocks are made for.

Dipped my bumpers today, still deciding on if I should do the grill surround as well. Maybe tomorrow.

DO IT!!!!!

Okay.

Looks nice!
