I pull a 19 1/2′, 3300# rig with a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I know it is there when I stop, but pulls with no problems. Quadra trac system is the best 4X4 system I’ve ever used. Actually pulls with all four wheels when needed, two wheels when not needed. I’ve pulled a 6500# boat out of a wet, moss slimed ramp without so much as a slight slip of the wheel, and handles snow like no other! I have modified the engine slightly, 270H.P. 5.2 Liter.

2004 Ford F-150 4×4 with the 300 hp v-8. Smooth, quiet, and the most power I’ve had since my ’71 429 Cobra. I believe Ford made a breakthrough and would recommend it highly, but don’t have many miles on it yet so can’t speak for longevity.
2001 Chevy 2500HD Duramax Diesel. Pulls my 620 like its not even there. Been the best truck I’ve had in years, 74,000 trouble free miles (knock on wood).

A VERY HOT LOOK’N RIG!!! WHAT’S THE COLOR?
GUNDY
Dark Green Metallic,..still want to add SS rocker panels to the sides yet.
Just put on the new window perf last night (picture added above).
My brother custom designs these window perfs, if anyone is in the market send me a PM and I can put you in contact with him.
Grabs.
How does the perf affect your line of sight out the back window? What kind of money are we talking for something like you’ve got?? Retail of course.
Thanks!
Window perf is a sheet of vinyl with a bunch of tiny little holes in it (perforations). He uses white vinyl and prints then to whatever design you want (easy to color match). The reason for the perforations is so that you can see out the back, when driving you won’t even knows its there; except for the benefits reduced glare from that car behind you at night and keeps the sun out too during the day or on the highway. On the ones that are not laminated they had problems with water and ice clinging in the perfs and then you couldn’t see out the window, that is the main reason for laminating them now.
He gets ~$150 a piece for them (probably going to vary upon the amount of design work he needs to do), and I need to check but I am pretty sure if you are in the Metro he will come help you install it.
Thanks Grabs!! I don’t need anything now, but when mama approves the purchase of the new power stroke, I want to get something like that done. Plus we should race the trucks, Ford vs. Chevy.
Actually two buddies back home have 04’s one with a Ford the other a Chevy. They of course had to have the measuring contest. The ford won, but he had his chipped also. Now the ford has an eletrcian tool box hanging on it, he’s afraid of the duramax.
Grabs,
Can your brother design the following scene..
Calvin, in a GB Packer helmet, taking care of business over a Viking helmet?
I can check with him,..it shouldn’t be a problem. He might have a hard time with it and accidentally get the helmet switched though!~
