I ordered one. Will be in late next week.

I'll probably go with Big Horns on it and sell the runflats as new takeoffs.

I hope so. It looks perfect for what I need. I've never seen one in person though.

Yeah, I'll be taking photos.

I wonder what kind of gas mileage it will get. Chad do you know anything about that?
I'll probably still carry a flat pack though it has the two tanks of over eight gallons total.

I'm doing the same. Dog pen and chicken coop today. I think I picked the best day of the year to dig post holes :shock: Maybe 102 today up the hill. Keep cool today. Talk at you later. Mr Manual Labor Bill. (But it's mine all mine now)

I love my MV7.........and yes it is a friggin tank.

I STRONGLY recommend replacing the rear hub to a-arm bolts with grade 8 hardware.....this is the only thing I have broken, as in 3 times....the last time it was a front side one, and with the weight and sping rate, it ripped the a-arm in half......extended warranty says the a-arm is part of the frame so not covered.....grrrr. but dealer fixed me up anyhow....

Dont expect good gas mileage, mine got about 4mpg for the first 200 miles, now I am somewhere around 10 or 11 with 500 miles on it.

PS I was going to do the same thing with tires, but ended up liking the run flats alot.......they are really very good tires, if not just a little rough riding on.

Thanks for the input. Have you tried pull starting it?

That's good to know. I read some uninformed comment elswhere about the potential for "broken arms" pull starting these.
