Its good to see that someone else is joining this side of the site. Good luck on finding the right truck for you. I have seen quite a few for sale here in my town and on the internet.

Theyre everywhere here in FL. A place called Gibson Truck World is selling crew cab 4x4with decent miles and small lifts for around 10k-11k. I think with cash and a private seller I can do pretty well.

O I knowm I have an OBS Powerstroke now. Started out stock, now has too much to mention. The electric fuel I put in is awesome. I'm trying to stop myself from going any further so I can sink my money into the new truck!!

Welcome to the dark side Kevin. Can't argue with it being a buyers market.

Thats exactly what I did and it worked out really well. But I was on here daily and posting up almost every truck I looked at to get opinions. This site easily saved me thousands so becoming a supporting member was a no brainer, before I even brought home my truck!
