Your welcome for the jumpstart.Actually,I was the only one in the parking lot with jumper cables long enough to reach.The two monster batteries for it are mounted in the bed.I carry 25'ft,4gauge cables either in the back of the burban,or the side box of my Freightliner.Matt

Link To YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=547Sgy4kKf4?autoplay=1 Lesson learned... Get bigger fatter tires at least 33x12.5 R16's (the bigger the better) not 245/75 R16 and air down from 80 to 15psi. I have 60 watts of solar bolted on to the hood. 1 truck and 2 deep cycle batteries and battery isolator. Air bags installed in the back with beefed up leaf springs. I bought air bags and beefed up the leaf springs to get back up to the original ride height. After driving around for a few months the leaf spring brackets started to tear from the extra weight. As soon as I noticed the tear in the metal I installed my air bags to get the weight off it. Then brought it in to get welded. I think my trucked weighed close to 9,000 pounds with all that. Wish it was a beefed up F350. Helping you find what your about to buy or just bought. You could end up with 20 acres of sand like I did if you don't get some help with your due diligence.

NOT a criticism.
YOU NEED LARGER AXLES. Dana 60's or 70's... If you are turning that much weight on the ENDS of the axles, YOU NEED LARGER AXLES. just sayin... that way you don't break anything |

Yeh,well as my stock 4x4 suburban sits,it will run about 700mi on the Hwy in one fueling.Once I add the two 18gal reserve tanks,I'll get about 1,300mi on the Hwy between fillups.Thats a trip from Orlando,Fl.to Lansing,Mi.non-stop when filled to the brim.Being a 4x4 as well is a plus.Of course my Freightliner with four 125gal tanks gets almost three times that at about 3,500miles per fillup,and thats with 35,000lbs.in the box.Matt
