The truck gods have been smiling on me so far! Keeping my fingers crossed that they continue to do so. Funny story about emissions testing... So I go into emissions after picking up my little boy at school. Of course, I get there like a half hour before they close, but there's only a few cars...

Thanks! Everyone needs one of these. Get one, you won't regret it!

A few more just for fun. For reference, My Ram 3500 is on 3-1/2" of lift and 35" Toyo All Terrains. Somehow, it doesn't look quite as impressive anymore...

A few of the minor things that are wrong. Don't be hatin' on my Gorilla tape. Little hole in the dust boot and damage to the radiator.

Evidence of a 2008 rebuild and maintenance as late as Feb of this year!

Suspension and other stuff 'down under'...

Squeaky clean... Engine and batteries.

Here'a look into the tool box I had to break into...

Here's some shots from the morning after I picked it up. First time actually seeing it in the light!

Updates on the truck Hi All, Wanted to provide some updates now that I’ve had ‘the beast’ for a week and a half. First off, I love it! What a monster! Took it to work the other day on a three day restricted permit since I had to have an emissions test as part of the process of registering...

It's here! I'm on my iPhone and it's dark, so no pics till tomorrow. Overall very happy. Canvas top is separated from its plastic retainers at the windshield. Something is up with the brakes (like pedal almost to the floor before it starts slowing down). Glad I had it shipped. It was dropped...

Hotshot Transportation Company. The fellow that owns it (Eric) is here on SS under the username 'heavy'. I haven't talked to him personally, but his office assistant Michelle has been very nice to work with so far. It won't be Eric delivering my truck, rather someone that Michelle is familiar...

Well, it's shipping. Be here Saturday. Yeah! $1,500 but absolutely no stress on my part and no time off work. Money well spent, I think. Next time, with a little more knowledge of these vehicles (and hopefully a little less stressful work life) I'll do the recovery myself. Oh yes, there...

Thanks, GE! Haven't been on the site long enough to know any SS members in Vegas, but I'm liking the truck stop idea. Why didn't I think of that. Hmmm...

Thought about that. All my friends have desk jobs and loadout at Nellis is only allowed Tues and Thurs. If any of them were 'gearheads' they might be up for it, but sadly I'm the only one. Not really getting a lot of interest from them in taking the day (at least) off and following me on an...

Regardless of my decision, Murphy will be at work. If I have it shipped, it will be in absolutely flawless condition and give me no trouble for at least 500 miles. If I go pick it up, the transmission will fall out halfway between Las Vegas and Kingman (precisely the middle of Nowhere!). As...

Thoughts on loadout Thanks all for the replies. I'll try to answer some questions about loading out, or at least post some musings... Here's where my head is today (direction subject to change at the whim of the squirrel driving the little wire wheel up there, of course): Options! Option 1...

It certainly looks like it. I can't wait to check.

Yep. If the boots, NASCAR jacket, and cowboy hat didn't prove it, the 923 will for sure. Yee Haw!

Haha, If they're full of gold coins I'll let you know! Maybe they're full of zombie heads? Greasy broken fan belts? Perhaps I should start a poll? Or a contest! "Guess what's really in the sandbags and win a cigar!" I'm going to be so disappointed if its just sand. Thanks for the offer in...
