The heck with the truck: if you have a Calico kitty, you are owned... Then again you won't have any rats or mice under your hood

We have a Deluted Tortie calico (we say she is deluded), from a cat rescue project my wife did -- but she don't go outside as we have waaaay too many kitty eaters around here...

Oh yeah, nice Truck -- I showed the picture to my wife and she said: the hell with the cat, I want one of those!

Happy New Year,
Scott

That's a California Forclosure cat that the neighbors left behind when they lost their house.

Bummer, for both of them -- but mostly the cats and dogs (pets). My Sister worked for one of the "predatory lending companies", and most of those folks should have never gotten a loan, and then they destroy the place and leave animals and whatnot behind on the way out. Maybe your neighbors had a different story of losing their house...

You can tell a lot about people, by observing certain behavior...

Hope you give the: "protector of your truck" a safe place to sleep at night. Notice she is at a warm spot in the pict. -- good hunting there...

All the best,
Scott

Chet,

I see that you have an I-80 bubble maker on the front.

I’m considering doing the same thing after seeing the clear space left around the Z71 wearing full dress bumpers that passed me about halfway to Vacaville.

Found the shots in your albums. Looks like a valid reason to invest to me.

I would recommend not getting the shackle mounts. Without them the car you slam into will just slide off.

Just a note to you fellas with 6.0 grief, don't give up. I finally got all of my issues worked out and I can't believe how awesome my truck runs.

Cold start

Chet, all that hard work and hair pulling paid off handsomely. That is one great looking Excursion . Great job.

Thank you, the funny thing about this truck is it was running bad when I bought it and I didn't even notice. Now it's like a dream.
