Oh I meant to post earlier about this, today I saw this big old bus (or it might've been an RV...either way, it was big) and it had a very distinct roar to the sound of the engine....

I'm guessing today I finally got to hear a Detroit two-stroke in person :P

I do, but I have a big towing bumper that is welded to the frame that would have to go, then I would have to buy a hitch to put under it.
It would rock to have it on my truck though...I will have to thing about it.

What is the weight rating and does every thing work, no accident damage etc.?

One time I went to Walmart, and when I came back out I found an empty milk jug in my truck bed. And a piece of chewed gum.

I was kinda mad, lol.
