Never heard of them until watching an Outdoor show the other day and then seen the new one in Monticello today. Looks like they could give Fleet a run and put GM out altogether with Fleet and them spread around? I checked a lot of pricing on outdoor items and they seem to be right around or with Fleet pricing. It may come down to a battle of Sales! wink

Leech-

Runnings is awesome. Every year I hit the one in Parkston South Dakota south of Mitchell. Used to pick up a candy called Zours for my kids since we didn't seem to find it anywhere else.

FF may be my favorite store in the world and I haven't been to the Monti Runnings but been to several others in Western MN and SD. They are a smaller version of FF, same kind of stuff, you don't have to walk a million miles because they are smaller.

I like that you could buy cow supplies, horse supplies, fishing gear, hardware, candy and nuts and maybe even some clothes in one stop. I don't have cows or horses either.

I will have to say that the new one in Monticello has a pretty good size Sporting area with a bait store with it's own door at the end of the building which may come in handy if they opens early enough in the mornings? I have a Fleet a few miles away which I almost live at so I may not get to the RUNNINGS up there much but it seems like a pretty nice store for people in that area. wink

One of their newer stores in Austin,where I grew up,they had bunch of portables on display before Thanksgiving.The closest FF is Owatonna & Rochester so there's no competition for the hunting & fishing items.Did a little price comparison on their shelters & they are higher than L&M but so is just about everyone else.

They have new stores in New Umm and Redwood Falls and Montivideo. The new stores are a big step up from the old ones and they greatly expanded their ice fishing displays.Probably my favorite location is in Brookings SD which is where I have been working and staying the last week.

They are not as big as Mills but they are expanding the stores and it looks like pricing is competitive.

Runnings in Monticello is awesome! much more than a "oversize hardware store" as stated above! prices on tools are better than FF I really like FF but being closer and having better prices im going to runnings!! almost forgot..when your walking around the store its easy to get any help unlike last time at FF

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
