My wife was right when I was kicking around buying it when she said. "We'll spend $1,000 on gas just driving it home"

I still wish I'd have bought it. It would be easier to paint to match my RC

it would get 10 ez pz ifin it did not have that stepside drafting like it was hooked to the back bumper.

I bet the stepside got super mpg on that trip.

That pic looks like it was taken in the staging lanes somewhere.

been following the new owners post over on RCC also, very interesting.

I think those 2 trucks found a good home with someone that will take good care of them.

I know you hated to see them go shorty but you did a fine job picking them a new home.

We are only temporary caretakers for our toys...we love them when they please us and hate them when they don't. And when our needs change we send them on to new owners that will do the same as we did.
