Re: Little help
Would you buy a new truck without reverse?

Re: Little help
Sounds like a nice rig. You dont need reverse just plan your moves(drivin a mud motor is kinda like a game of chess) and invest in a pushpole.

Re: Little help
No one needs reverse until they use a motor with it.
If thats what you can afford go for it,there are deals on used rigs you just have to look. The other day someone put up a link to a GTR on a gator trax in Tx that was a good deal.
