This thread can't die!! After re-reading, i sure do like F250's double mirrors LOL!
No newbie here, but here's the rig's current status...nothing is permanent...everything is temporary until I figure out the best setup.
Got some funny looks on the way to the scrap yard that day...all that orange steel is overhang!
And that's my favorite picture, actually is my desktop background too!

You picking on my camera or turbo??
Thanks man, I got a whole list of stuff to do once the 4 ft of snow to my garage melts. Gotta paint the gauge pod, get a new pyro gauge, coolant flush, change the IP and time engine, change GP's, fix air intrusion, fix oil leak, new cdr etc. - more and more fun....

Acually I was picking on both, camera and turbo
The turbo pic looks weird...kind of blurry.
Don't worry, i've towed loads with my truck, more than most people would even try with a brand new Diesel! Ofcourse I was unbelievably illegal, but trip was only couple hundred miles on back roads...ish.
I'd have to check in my log books, but if I remember correctly was around ~23k pounds total truck+trailer. Sure I could gotten out of the truck and walk faster going up hills, but i'm use to it, doesn't bother me one bit!
Mind you this was almost 10 years ago, back when my truck was in shape.... back when I used it as a DD. Ever since we moved into the city, it's been sitting it's life away.
Took ~10 years to do 300k miles country living, and we been in the city for just over 10 years, took another 10 years of city living to do ~77k miles. And it's ever since I stoped using it regularly that it's been leaking oil from every seal there is.... rusting in pieces, water comming in from every seem in the cab, etc. etc.
Poor thing! Sure am gonna be happy onces shes restore to it original glory!
