Good luck with your trip home. You will definitely like the extra speed you'll get out of the super singles! The truck looks great!

 

[seano11]

Well that's what I woulda got if they had been the 900x20s so if anyone wants to sell some to nwtire that's the going rate

 

[tie6044]

I wish you would have stopped by here, I've got a bunch of those!

 

[seano11]

If overcoming adversity builds character, then y'all are going to be pretty awesome by the time you get home.

How did they know you bought a new pump? You certainly came back with more than you left with, a whole truck! Only crossed the Mexico border once, it was easy maybe Canada is tougher!

 

[seano11]

They searched the truck and seen the rebuild stamp on the injection pump

 

[seano11]

My butt is pretty soar to

 

[seano11]

OO now the truck is telling me to f off lol doesn't wanna start in the cold

 

[nf6x]

Ok, so you roll over the border in 20,000 pounds of steel that you didn't leave with, and they gave you grief over one of the engine components being newer than the others?! I haven't crossed any international borders yet, but it sure sounds to me like they were looking for any excuse to delay you.

 

[seano11]

Ya we are pretty sure they were just bored and playing good cop bad cop with us

Hungry Hippo

In all the beatings that you took you still managed to load and haul rubbers up to li'l ol me in Edmonton. I can't thank you enough for going out of your way to haul 6 NDT's up for me.

Thanks Sean, Shauna

Got a few cloud shrouded pics yesterday but none that really show how big and beautiful that truck is. Once she's outta my shop and cleaned up we'll get some good pics.

I'm gonna nickname "Bloody Knuckles".......Hungry Hippo.....Everytime I see it she's got her mouth open trying to eat someone.

They stopped you for not declaring a part on the truck? How about that new fuel you had in the tank? Is that old or new air in the tires? Did they tell you to exhale, then cross the border before you inhale? Nasty old USA air... What's the free world coming to? One time,while driving a truck and race car trailer, they asked me if I had any birds or plants. I thought to myself....can't the birds just fly over the border? Good recovery. Now stop taking our trucks over there .
