That sleds a lot more high tec than the one at RRE lol

On a side note, Im thinking about selling my dually (the one on the right in my signature). All of you that know me should know what all it needs to get back on the road again. I don't "want" to sell it but I don't see my finances lining up to get it back on the road and Id much rather see one of you guys get it. It does have a lien on it and I would like to get enough to pay it off. If any of you are interested at all, please send me a PM. I can go over the truck piece by piece and tell everything I know about it. Hope im not breaking any rules posting this!

Nate there was a guy with one of the super-semis there from Wooten tonight. 7 to midnight is a good length pull. This pull started at 8 am and wrapped up at 11:15 this evening. My butt is sore, lol. They take an hour break for lunch and for dinner. They pull 2 tracks for about 1/2 the time.

This is a Lucas Oil PPL national event with almost every class in the PPL there. Plus they had about 6 or 8 'farm' tractor classes, a street diesel pickup class, and modified diesel pickup class that are local (not part of the PPL). There were 50 entries in the street diesel pickup class. I might try to join in next year, but I say that every year...

If you look in the first picture I posted, see the guy in the lower left corner. My wife pointed out that he looked like Pappy O'Daniels from 'O brother where art though?' Lol

I've got some more pictures and videos I'd like to share with you guys (including an OBS), but its been a long day and I'm gonna call it a night.

I remember asking you about that truck last year JP!. You could pm me a price and some details, but I have a dually now so I'm not sure I need another project...

Had you planned better you could have hauled it down and it woulda sold at RRE! LOL And you could have competed with Glenn by rigging up your trailer with dually and the camper behind it!

Awe, thats a bummer JP. I kinda know how you feel, I'm in about the same boat with the Matador and trying to get it on the road. Its gonna need a tear down I'm thinking... Hate seeing it sit... But don't have the extra $$$ to build the motor up.

thanks Gabe! Actually it's all part of the picture. We took it at night, exposed it for 15 seconds or so, and during that time my buddy walked up and shined a laser beam up under there. They turned out awesome!

I was actually thinking of making a poster and putting the Harley F-250 on it and trying to sell it lol. I didn't decide to try to sell the dually until the day before I posted it on here. I can't seem to get the dang Harley gone so I figured id try the dually lol

If I could get em both gone, the ol Powerstroke would get some much needed attention! I'm thinking 556 hp so I can say it's faster than Gabes ha!
