TXDTR#8 (North Texas DTR) - March 2007
Holy Cow!
I must be in the wrong business... that seems awfully high - if I made some out of 304SS, I'm thinking it'd be half that. I know the alloys market has been volatile for a while now, so I'd have to check market pricing, but still...
Was that price for polished, or natural?

Check it out Brian - no good deed goes unpunished!
Wonder if the manufacturer will replace it for free:


It's the passenger rear... guess the 10K# of truck and 13K# of GN & Ram found a factory defect!
Wonder what the pin weight was...

Holy Cow!!
That sux about your wheel Mike!!! I bet the weight on it was slightly
above it's rating don't ya think!!!
Time for some Rickson's!!!!!
I just got back in town tonight from Lake Murray, OK. That is a beautiful place!!! Took the kiddo RVing and ATVing. I think we rode 53 miles altogether on the trails over 2 days.
Ran into Rob up there! He was with a buddy from work riding his dirtbike. Mike, I got to test that new fabbed hitch you built for me for the ATV pulling Rob out of a mudhole.
30 foot wide swath of mud...and Rob ran right into it with his dirtbike!!
Afterward, I decided to try it too and I found out real quick I wasn't going to make it either....so I spun backwards out of it.

I'll see what I can do! I have never heard of most of those!!!
Not a problem....I think I can find some of that around here!
The piston/connecting rod I have at my house is out of a 2nd gen, but I don't know what year. DonM let me have it a couple of years ago. Nice conversation piece but I don't know it's history. Sorry dudes.
Yes, a big "thank you" goes out to Robert for extricating me from the quagmire I was stuck in. (Thanks to Mike also for providing him the means necessary to carry out the recovery operation).
In my defense, when you are riding on one wheel, you can't steer the bike, when the front wheel came down it was too late to turn away from the morass I was about be stuck in.
The best part was when Robert started pulling the bike out (backwards) and it got catty wampus and fell over on me, pinning my body between the bike and the mud with my leg bent like a pretzel underneath.
That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.

Had a serious problem with my CTD today.
Noticed the drivers seat flashlight holder broke (front spring bracket).
Hotdram was first,and Crotex found an outlet for them. Think several others have added them as well? Anyone else had breakage?
Anyone want before & after pics of the R&R... I'll be glad to provide.
