I just marvel at the engineering thought that goes into rigging the old cable slung excavators and even in modern times the beach ramp on Navy amphibious ships are still cable slung.

Just as an update, my truck is ready to be picked up. Now here's the thing, the price was 10000 more than we were told not 5 days earlier. They got the Line-x done for $1100(big ripoff there), so basically I went to a different dealer and picked one off the lot. Hopefully I will get that one within the week and I will post pics when I get it home.

Talk about a screw job. I hope you gave them your 2 cents on the way out the door.
