  Truth.  Painful, but true.

In that case it might simply be tire imbalance.  No harm in having them rebalanced.    I got new wheels/tires for my utility trailer that supposedly came off a boat trailer.  It shook so bad at 40mph I thought it was gonna come off the hitch.  I took the wheels off and to a tire shop.  The tech put it on the balancer and couldn't get a reading.  He took the wheel off and checked the machine thinking something was wrong with it.  The tire was so far out of balance it kept shutting the machine off before the cycle was complete.  He took all the weights off, rebalanced them and they run smooth as glass now.

Great test report.... and pretty good ammo prices too. 

    You say that because you know how to do rocket surgery....     Seriously tho....  If it was a tire imbalance it would continue to get worse as speed increases.  A wobble only in a specific speed range is a harmonic resonance somewhere in the chassis and re-balancing tires won't fix it.   Given how common it appears to be with Dodge trucks (based on Caster's response), its likely a combination of several things... slightly worn ball joints, suspension bushings, or struts.... wheel bearing races not exactly where they should be, brake rotors dragging (as monkeylizard suggests), tires slightly out of round, ... or any combination thereof. 

Cool stuff, thanks!

Trade that ATV for a dual sport (street legal) motorcycle and there's all kinds of stuff available around there.

A friend's daughter has started taking flying lessons as well.  She got some sort of screaming deal through her high school ROTC.  I'd love to do it myself, but I just can't justify the cost.  People who think motorcycle parts are expensive should take a look at airplane parts.

A few recent shots.... These are from Oakes Farm in Corryton. My boys love it, lots to do and its not outrageously priced. I got a couple decent shots and a couple others that would've been great, had they been in focus. :-\ The servo mode and I weren't getting along that day. Seemed like it would hold focus exactly where I wanted until an instant before I pressed the shutter. I think I forgot to change it from evaluative to point focus, that might have helped. And from the beach a couple weeks ago....

Think Atlanta or Columbia, SC looked much different in 1865?

  Technically that was just David Gilmour... but it's a fantastic show. 

  They make more at an alarming rate.        I've read several stories that said over the course of a few years, there were more people were murdered in the Chicago area than US soldiers killed in the Iraq war.  Fewer soldiers died in a war zone than people on the streets of Chicago.   :shake:

    Sure that's feasible.  If you're hunting in the woods in east TN, its tough to get a shot much beyond 75 yds anyway.   The SKS will have 3-4x more energy, plus its just a cool old milsurp.    The SKS is a "gateway" gun.  They're fairly plentiful, inexpensive, easy and fun to shoot.  You'll get one and think... you know, this is a pretty cool old gun.  Before long, all sorts of cool old guns will begin to appear... 91/30's, K31's, Mausers, 1903's, Enfields,  ...  :)

That's really cool. You got some great stuff in that lot. Peep/aperture sights are really easy to use, easier than blade sights IMO. This is from the original WWII training films... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yj5KsXDflS4

How could you develop an opinion if you never shot one? Mini 30 over an SKS? That's just crazy talk.

Agreed that you should call twra, though it may be too late for this one. That said, I've no idea why a property owner wouldn't want a hunter to get a deer that died on their property. It'll stink for weeks and attract critters they'd much rather not have around.

Wow. I'd just replace all the wood. Too far gone to bother with trying to fix. I'd also whack the butt on the ground several times and make sure the hammer doesn't fall.

SKS.

The crossbreed supertuck is adjustable, not sure if you can get it all the way to zero though.

Once you jack it up, put both rear wheels (or anything sturdy) under it so if it falls it'll fall on the wheels and not you.

The sad part is people like her are the only ones the sheeple ever see and as such are the basis for their opinions of such things. 

    At 3500 lbs and 60/40 you've got about 500 lbs on the tongue, which means about 600 lbs on the rear axle.  Add that to whatever you're putting in the bed. 

How big of a utility trailer do you have that's making the truck squat significantly?  Can you rearrange what's on the trailer so there's not quite so much tongue weight?  Would a weight distribution hitch work better?   As for jack stands, you'll have a hard time finding jack stands tall enough that won't be rated to WAY more than necessary.  Most will be rated at 3 tons, which means (theoretically) you could sit the entire truck on one of them.  Just chock the front tires so it can't roll either direction.

Cool stuff.  :up:
