Thank you Chance and Mike from Monarch Ford for putting up with me for these 13 weeks, (91 days or 2,184 hours, or 131,040 hours). Did I mention we weren't counting and excited.....lol

Now, first thing you need to add is a locking receiver pin on that rear hitch before someone walks off with the size adapter tube.

Great looking road hog you picked up there.
