Real world reported is 6-7.... Calculated @ $3/gallon... Looking at nationwide fuel prices... Avg. For diesel is about $2.75 So...should come in slightly under budget.... But I always estimate high in situations like this. Still gonna be close to $2k Luckily I'm not paying for fuel. Differential Fill plug was stripped half inch square drive... But square was rounded.. Socket wouldn't work. Thank you Private! Had to drill it and use an extractor tool to get it out... Couldn't get a replacement so I had to cludge it. Jb welded a nut and bolt to the fill plug.... To fill the hole that we drilled in the plug and give something to wrench on. One of the battery cables... Which was brand new... Wasn't crimped... At all... Not even a little. Picked it up and wire fell out. Thanks again, private! You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

That - is a bowling alley, or, an indoor pistol range on wheels.
Maybe, even a portable night club when fully expanded. Plenty of room for a bar and a pole............. _________________ Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.
