Did you already have the sway bar, shocks, bags, etc when you flipped it? If not then the sway from the sudden manuevering coupled with you're truck carrying over it's designed payload is more the issue than the height. The CG on a Hawk (unless loaded poorly) is forward of the rear axle and not...

Buy a pressure washer and do it at home, it will save you a lot of money in the long run. If that’s not an option just use the car wash bays instead of the automatic paint scratcher.

That’s a lot of work for not much bird. I’m used to spending about 30 minutes for 15-20 ptarmigan or grouse.

An electric free and cheap option you could try is a bucket of DampRid. I’m not sure if it will keep up with the amount of moisture you create but it might help.

That is true. I could've said it more clearly I guess.

It can't be colder than the ambient temperature.

They gel up faster because the wind cools it down faster but the fuel still can't get any colder than the actual air temperature.

Yeah but if all you’re doing with the truck is driving forest service roads then neither of the proposed mods is necessary.

The answer will be found in what you plan to do with the truck.

Just bear in mind that wind chill has zero effect on a truck, it cannot get colder than the actual ambient air temperature.

We’ve had no issues with all three major diesels in Alaska down to -40°. As long as your batteries are good it will start.

Sucks to be him, but he lost money that he essentially stole from customers at this point.

Are they cracks or casting marks? The pictures make them look to be higher than the surrounding surface and look like casting marks from manufacturing.

An older power wagon with leaf springs has a higher payload. A 2019 I looked at and test drove before buying my CTD had a 1400lb payload so a lightly spec’d or shell model would theoretically work but be pretty close or over GVWR when loaded and with people.

That’s such a load of ********. The guy should be forced to sell everything he owns and be put in a manual labor camp until he earns enough money to payback his debts. There is no way he should be allowed to file for and be granted another business license after ************** a bunch of people out of...

Eh...shall not be infringed is pretty clear. Regulation is infringement.

Not really. I have driven or ridden up to Tuktoyaktuk, Deadhorse and just about every driveable road that leads somewhere in Alaska and a honda civic could make most of them if the weather is halfway decent. If your vehicle is in good repair when you start you shouldn’t need any spare parts...

Haha, yep. That’s nothing at all like what they were originally trying to stir up interest for.

The airbags keep the truck from squatting in the rear end but they are still over GVWR. In my experience with my Tacoma it isn't a huge deal but I don’t want to do it again if I can avoid it. In this picture the truck is about 1200lbs over GVWR and I had just finished towing a 3500lb trailer...

I figure coming back down the other side using very little pedal makes up for the climb up. Definitely keeping it, I love going up the passes at 1500rpm maintaining speed instead of my old Tacoma screaming along at 4500rpm.
