You should see what the frames look like after the storm. we have salt everywhere.I would guess around 100-150lbs. If we didn't spray them we would only get a few years out of then before they rusted out

i always dreaded getting a state truck to work on in the middle of winter. they get caked worse than anything
1 i like how someone was finally smart enough to buy stainless steel bodies for the new trucks. they still required us to custom fab dust shields for the brakes though, which was such a joke because they are the first thing to rot off!

That's a real nice looking truck! Definitely a fan of the red and black.

Garth Brooks doing "fishing in the dark" and Garth Brooks' "Good ride cowboy", and maybe Garth brooks' "cowgirl's saddle"...that's just a few less common songs off the top of my head

Here is a recent video of the (IMO) fastest man on an atv. he was leading the pro class this year in points, and ended up breaking his back in a few places before a race ending his season.
Epic Chad Wienen riding his newly designed Track on Vimeo

One day, i hope to own a track like that. or be as fast as him. whichever comes first!
