your sad try me.. but there comes a time things have to end.. one thing i will miss is the 22+ mpg on the silver truck...

as for KC's prob just 2 for the beginning like say light tabs.. and after some custom things are built prob next summer. then TONS of KC's lol...

Zach, I'm amazed and speechless. What is RF coming to when Stone sells his truck, it's been a staple here for so long, heck it's even on our shirts. Glad you got a new truck. What kind of plans do you have for it?
