In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Around here the two S- words are interchangeable during the winter. But no S--- on the ground here yet, thankfully.

Plenty of torque. In fact. more torque than a 2.9 for sure. It pulls a few thousand pounds with no issues even in the hills. Trailer weights 750 pounds empty and you can see the big ass pieces of wood.

I live on the West Coast, whats S***?

My observation is that there are more 4WD or AWD in the ditches than 2WD or FWD, wonder why that is?

Couldn't be that people with 4WD and AWD confuse the number of drive wheels, on S*** or ice, with traction, nah that would never happen.

Don't matter what number or kind of wheels or non-wheels, lol, you got, S*** and ice are the great equalizers, 0 traction for all at some point

I'm taking on water right now. There are currently rivers running through my basement and garage, but there isn't much to do about it until it stops raining.

I got everything that can be damaged by water off the floor, just gotta wait for the weather to break.


Irony of it all is the new door seals for the wife's car arrived this evening.

Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
You liked everybody before they traded in their 2.9 equipped trucks for trucks with the 3.0 and confirmed that the 3.0 is faster, stronger, and more reliable.
You are from the part of Canada that shares the same relationship that Hawaii and Puerto Rico have with the USA. Their opinions matter very little to us, and we like to pretend you're not there unless we really need something.

?

Much love this evening from Intercourse, PA.










Jim, you're really killing me with this mom jokes embargo, here.

Lmao.

I wish i had pics of the loads of wood i used to haul with rusty #1 back in the day. But it was the early 90s and pic taking wasnt as easy as today.

I had a trailer bigger then that mounded with wood as well as the bed, rear bumper not to far off the ground and that lil 2.9 just chewed up the ashphalt as fast as i felt comfy pulling it.

A 2.9 will outpull, outrun, and (if kept cool) last just as long as a 3.0.
