Hey Jim, no new truck for me. I see Troy answered already and yes I can haul lots more crap for camping that way! I would like to haul it through multiple states but trying to figure out the laws for each state is a nightmare!

We took the Rhino out today for a couple hours today. It was pretty nice in the woods.

Heres a few pictures of the cover on the truck. It rolls up like a normal cover but you can also flip the front portion back to access a tool box (which I still need to get).




Looks good Jay! I will have to check it out further in person.

Yeah I can't imagine the nightmare trying to figure that out.

Not new by any means. Haha. Time for the current 6.0 to go down the road and found another one to replace it.

Good evening everyone. Couldn't talk myself into mowing tonight.

Good morning fellas!

Had some rain pass north of us, kinda like the rain that passed just south of us on Sunday. I swear there is a bubble that prevents any rain cloud from coming over us. Pretty sad when we are warmer than the sunshine state for a week!

Yeah Troy! Pics, pics, pics!!

Ok so here are the details. I found a '03 6.0 that was rust free in MN surprisingly. It has 176k on it and in the last 16k mils he has had it "bullutproofed". He even replaced the radiator with an aluminum one and a bunch of other things just because he wanted too. I need to do some things to it but that because he used it like car so he leveled it by taking the blocks out of the back. Won't work for me plus some other things I want to do to it. Here are the pics of that truck and the other addition to the family. A '96 f350 7.3 with the zf5 in it. Body is in great shape as it originally came from Georgia so no rust but needs some mechanical issues dealt with and some interior work done. This is a truck my son bought. He took out loan with his grandparents. So now he is working to pay them back. Should be a nice truck for him.
