I have been around this truck since the day we went down to Yucaipa, California to go get it. We had borrowed the scariest car trailer (wired from front to back with extension cord amongst other things) and we were towing it with Brad's slammed S-10 Blazer. I don't think I relaxed until we pulled into the driveway.

I can attest that this truck was truly built low-buck. Money was spent in the right places, like some of the suspension parts, the stereo, and the wiring, but a lot of the stuff on the truck was done using parts he already had, some parts I had, and parts that he traded with other people. He did a ton of research, and when we hit the wrecking yards looking for parts, he already knew what to look for.

To truly appreciate this truck, you have to see it in person. You'll do a bunch of laps around the truck checking it out, and you still won't see everything. A lot of clever, creative things were done that are so subtle you'll miss it if he doesn't point it out to you.

On the road, this truck rides awesome and is a great long-distance road tripper, as evidenced by the two California to Oregon to Washington and Back road trips it has done. If you like loud, nasty sounding trucks, this thing is definitely that, as I can hear him from inside my house a quarter mile away when he pulls on to my street.

I'm finally glad to see that he finally got it into a magazine. They should really do a feature. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit the current trend of large diameter wheels and air-ride that all the magazine go nuts over, and that's too bad.
