If you dig deeper you will find the whole concept of the Government selling vehicles to private individuals very complicated.

Take some pictures of the install, I forgot :(

Z: A couple of things while I am thinking about it:
1.) I Need to get new trailer chains that are the right length for both the M1009 and the F150, the mess I have now will not cut it...
