these trucks are built hell for stout. They can handle the punishment, just gotta have faith.

I saw this rig in Tallahasse Florida at a Holiday Inn. We walked around it and took lots of photos ( I will add some if I can figure out how ) even "borrowed" a few Bud Lights from the cooler (sorry). Awesome truck, my dad just purchased one however I think the most wear on a truck comes from years and miles, not just miles. But still an awesome test. I wonder if they are still going at it.
