I cannot help you with what to do with the truck, but I do want to say THANK YOU! Thanks you for putting your country first. May we take that decision as seriously as you have and not take your service for granted.

No, no, no. Bring it to me. There's no salt on the roads down here so you don't have to worry about rust. I'll hang onto it for you.
And thank you for taking your turn to stand watch over the rest of us.

I sure do appreciate what you're doing. My brother just finished up at Ft Sill and is stationed in Ft Carson, CO. He's on a M109 Paladin team. Good luck with the truck thing. Sorry I'm no help with that and again, thank you.

I would like to 6th that! Thanks man.
And it almost seems funny to me when someone offers to store my truck... cuz i know they wanna drive it and wish they could have it! lol... but in all seriousness im sure a handful of guys.. if not the whole forum (who have the space) would be willing to take care of it for ya.
Dont trust me with it... when you come back it may have a different lift...tires....paint job... injectors... gauges.. in/on it.
Take care bud.

For real .. I have my own truck .(I actually have 30 vehicles to drive) . I really appreciate the sacrifice .. I waited 8 years for my son to be out .. Bring it , I'll store it inside ...Some are making light of the offer , I mean it ...You're not that far away ...

I was lucky. I was able to leave my old truck parked at my parents house when I was away. If his parents aren't willing to do that, many of us will gladly step in.
And what the heck do you need 30 vehicles for. You sound like my wife and shoes.

Thanks so much guys!! it really means alot but i cant ask any of you to do something like that for me. I owe alot of people thanks to my life with all the hardships ive gone throughout life, this is my way to repay them. I might try to convince my soon to be x-girlfriend to take it while im gone. (her parents wont allow us to date if I ship out, which is understandable.)
