Iv'e been asked how my 700m4 with abnormally high miles is getting along. My 700 as about 7,500 miles on it and almost 2,000 hours. Reliable, loud/noisy and dusty. I haven't been using it for work much the past year except around the 20 acre farm where it is beening used by my aged Mother with zero issues. I'm not that into just taking it boondocking alot unless I have to get into tight spots or hunting (not much of that lately). My comfortable 4x4's Jeep and truck do a splendid job for getting me around.
I like it with commander shocks and the EZ steer power steering and use it mostly on pipeline projects. Heading to PA for a pipeline project if I get the contract....soon I hope! Last job I used it on I had a 36 mile spread of costruction I watched over and drove it daily a minimum of 50 miles per day 6-7 days a week.
I have been thinking about working on sound deadening and heat control. I took a great idea from this forum an idea to raise the front of the hood a few inches to control cabin dust and much to my surprise it worked! I now get outside air streaming in instead of hot air from radiator (?). Now I get to fabricate a simple grill or maybe a hood scoop?
