Can’t have nice stuff like that up here lol mounts would snap and rocks would destroy the fenders.
If I could run nice stuff like that I would. But poly fenders are the best option.

The roads are rough as sh!t here. And we also do bush running. The mounts and fenders would crack in a heartbeat. Even with good mounts and nice stainless fenders, it’s only a matter of time before they start to crack.
The one road I travel up north is 350 km one direction and built with big rocks and granite.
We can have nice equipment but nice fibreglass fenders wouldn’t last.

We use sometimes. Most cb have built in set meter and just tune your antenna to that.
I prefer the 2 ways. Depending who I talk to I can get 25 miles out of it.

Where we take our RGN, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that eventually our fenders will get a scratch. As long as they can take it, that's all we care.

So in light of the fender discussion that has been going on, I have a question.
This is my first rodeo with “nice” fenders.
How much fender to trailer clearance do you guys have on level ground?
I lowered my truck 4”, built fifth wheel risers to put my fifth wheel at 49.5” at ride height, set my fenders about 1” off the (new) tires with the suspension dumped.
I have 6.25” of fender to trailer clearance and I hope to God I never get this thing twisted up enough to hit! LOL

You will. If you don’t hit em from the top tires will toss something through from the bottom. Just how it is

They’re aluminum. Hope I don’t toss anything thru them.

Thanks.
I’ve weighed it 3 times, on 2 different scales, and have gotten 3 different different weights. 25,000lbs, 25,580lbs, and 26,280lbs.
Once I get on a certified scale I guess I’ll find out what it actually weighs. LOL

Close....bet if I pull my passenger seat I can get down there.
If I could pull a 4 axle trailer and gross 140,000 lbs I wouldn’t mind weighing 38,000 lbs empty either.
oke:

Brackets on the way for the tag axle. Minimizer makes the brackets that are in the picture of the green and white peterbilt

What’s with all the Canadian 379’s?
Well holy hell not even a year into my dads new Volvo ownership and all hell is breaking loose. DEF issues. Somehow the Bosch pump has a tendency to leak DEF fluid into the harness. The problem is once it touches the DEF harness it wicks its way into the main harness. No idea why this happened. One theory is overfilling, the other is cold weather. I've heard other makes have this issue too. Come on it's been 10 ****ing years with this DEF ****.
Initially they said 6-12 weeks. But now they've sourced a "generic harness". Labor/parts is still $10,000! Sure it's on warranty but unless they engineer a solution the truck is worthless off warranty.
