    Ratchet straps on a gooseneck?

    I’m not wild about these ratchet straps with hooks on the end. Maybe I’m just doing it wrong. Anyone replace them with a Clevis? Don’t don’t fit through the 2x4 slots. I’m using axel straps on both ends at the moment but wondering if there’s a better method to go about towing items on the...

    Best trailer tires for the long term?

    I have two boats that I swear I’m always swapping tires on. Tomorrow I’m buying a gooseneck and planning to do some long hauls to Utah and back in a few weeks. It’s a 2018 trailer in great shape but no spares. I’d like to pick a couple up. What’s the defacto best tire for a 7k lb axle? I’m going...

    Pleasant Tire Purchase Experience At WalMart

    I bought the cooper AT tires at Walmart, same exact tire as their expensive AT, and did all 4 on my truck for $700. Hell of a deal

    Who is high mileage towing?

    I was in an accident that totaled my last one so this truck I've had since December. I bought it for the bay home. Mostly tows boats. I put a 70 gal tank in the back so I can pickup ethanol free gas to run in the boats and UTV.

    Who is high mileage towing?

    Meh I bought the truck for a reason. I pickup the gooseneck Monday. I'd rather own and use what I own.

    Who is high mileage towing?

    How long a trailer would say you need? I have a free 40ft but that seems too long was hoping to keep it a little easier to maneuver. Think a 25ft could do it?

    Diesel Engine and Oil Specs in 2026????

    I run Amsoil now because my firm belief is it doesn’t matter anymore. Sulfur levels were a thing between US and Euro petroleum but now everything is refined better. I’m always going to spend a few extra for the peace of mind but the truth is we still have a Case 5288 tractor that my grandfather...

    Who is high mileage towing?

    For the record every fluid but radiator has been replaced, which I have, with Amsoil in the Allison, diffs, transfer, and engine. All new. New front end. New rotors and pads.

    Who is high mileage towing?

    I have a tuned, weight loss, 2008 Duramax with 188k miles. Thinking of buying a gooseneck to tow my Ineos Grenadier and a CFMOTO Uforce U10 XL UTV on Colorado then MOAB. I think that will be about 8k lbs before I add all the tools, coolers, etc. plus going up into the Rockies then running to...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect Euro

    That 5w40 is going to be a go to. I'll never run a 0w20. So happy it's coming out. There's A LOT of use out there for the heavier weights like ATV/UTV/Boats.

    BMW B58 Engine Oil Recommendation

    Sorry just seeing this. No I'm not. Redline performed very well with impressive results. I'd put about 75hrs of driving on it with 54hrs of it going to the Rockies then heading to moab and it came back great. I honestly hate the bottles so much I can't talk myself into using it. Wearing gloves...

    CFMOTO UForce U10 oil?

    I didn’t realize Amsoil had UTV specific oil so went with it. https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-formula-4-stroke-powersports-0w-40-synthetic-motor-oil-aff/ Has a crazy low NOAK. Thing only takes 4qts so bought a 12 pack to call it a day. I did order a much larger quantity filter for it as well...

    CFMOTO UForce U10 oil?

    The pup wanted a new UTV so went and picked him one up. It’s a CFMOTO UFORCE U10. It’s great and really runs. Almost done with the break in and going to need an oil change. The manual is pretty vague saying to just use car oil but Gemini was saying I need a MA2 oil. What’s the consensus on ATV...
