Nice Scout. I would keep the axles as they are since mine has never been the same after going 3/4 ton:sick: Most of the time I miss mine being the way it was w/ the stock axles (street/highway friendly, good brakes, a real working e-brake, easier to get inspected...)

Nice to see another Binder

Have you got on that 392 yet?

yes its still a underpowered 750 pound motor but definently better than the 345!!! And yes, the no inspections thing kicks A!! I still havent decided on running the 3/4 tons or not. I am hearing more and more from everyone that they miss thier rigs being "the way the used to be." I hate to start down a path of no return:-\

Nice and welcome.
