    Question turnbuckles, fuel filling, after run oil, out of range distance

    Hey everyone,

    turnbuckles - I busted two (steering) already. And the truck didn't hit hard at all. I read about the Landsford Ti T/B. What Part number????? I see ones that are 3 1/4 in. that would put it a tad over the 82 mm that the stock pede ones are. Actually, I think i can get away with 80 mm T/Bs. Also, does anyone lube them before putting them into the rod ends so adjusting them is easier????

    fuel filling - Has anyone come up with an idea to run the fill pipe up and outside of the body so you don't have to take everything off to refill. I would like to just pull in (while still running), fill and go. Any ideas besides "get the bigger tank" maybe doing what I am thinking is a bad idea. Let me know.

    After run oil - I got the stuff, put a few drops in after running for the day. The next day starting took a while. I'm thinking I had to get rid of it in the system before starting. Do i really need it in between weekends???? and how much ???? and is there a "good" way to put the drops in????

    out of range distance - fresh batteries... what is the safe distance, 100 ft?, 200 ft, 500 ft??? Open area like a baseball diamond.

    Thanks for your help.

    i just keep it so i can clearly see it, about 500 ft.. cut a hole in the body, take a zip tie and attach it to teh lid of the tank. pull the zip tie, and place fuel filler thru the hole
