    Really good folks. I always load there to leave the house.

    Unlike woman, coils are the best when they are short and wide. :cool:

    I love it. Still works perfectly, and it's an awesome step to get up on the center of my trailer.

    I helped haul the bridge beams into Kooskia for the bridge by the chicken coop almost 30 years ago. Lol.

    Their proposed numbers aren't adding up to savings imo. They claim 2025 for availability, the price by then will certainly be higher than $270k. Then they claim over $9000 a year for maintenance is supposed to be a savings? First year preventative maintenance on a brand new truck right now is around $2500. Not to mention, there's gonna be a lot of bugs to get worked out the first few years, and parts and labor will be very expensive.

    They also believe they are going to somehow (its a mystery apparently), bring about an 83% decrease in the cost of hydrogen within a couple of years. This looks like wishful thinking to me.

    Then they finally mention insurance, which will probably be 10x the numbers projected. Insurance adjusters aren't fools. Now let's go back to 3rd grade science class.... pure hydrogen is the least stable element, and they want to put it in a tank and send it down the highway...
