Well actually, yes. Something about passion and schedules overcoming prudence if I remember correctly. I have my own personal anecdotes to share, but no cool pictures. :whistle:

I actually use your pictures in one of my towing / payload classes. Everyone loves your truck. 8)

Very cool! I have two cats that live aboard my Pirate ship with me. They're not fans of my truck though. :driver:

Oh, I have to add, this website and forum were invaluable in helping us look at and evaluate this truck. I've spent hours pouring over the wealth of information and messages relating to this truck. I was able to evaluate the truck, determine its condition and content, and you helped me make an...
