If u were closer I'd buy yours off you.... Took me a year to find a tailgate with the stainless panel in good shape. I wouldn't mind a spare... The aftermarket tailgates are flimsy compared to the ford ones.

Congratulations Tom! Sounds like a good time!

I've bought a few tickets when the Powerball got up really high or something, but it's not something I throw money at. That's truck part money!

Speaking of, gotta get an order in for a few things for the OBS before RRE hits...

I know. Time is flying. Next week is the Bloomsburg Jamboree for the half-ton too...I'm in full on scramble mode. Trying to find a trailer too so I can pull the half-ton on the OBS, since taxi service is so terrible up there to get back and forth to the hotel.

Yeah I'm at the point where whatever gets done gets done, and whatever doesnt, don't. Lol. Everything is pretty much as ready as it's going to get. Lol

blah!
went out at 4:30 tuesday morning, got homa at 5:30 pm.
went out at 4:30 yesterday morning, and lose 3rd and 7th in the trans on the big truck at 5 am.
then proceeded to do 573 miles over the next 23 hours before parking at 4:30 this morning.
it is no fun trying to climb hills at 80,000 lbs when you are missing 3rd and 7th gear.
