    Friend of mine is selling his truck.

    1998 W900 3406e 18 speed on tall rubber. 8 inch stacks, have spools that could be put back in but straights currently. Engine has some work done but I'd have to find out what exactly. Has papers for it. Miles are around 1.8m but I'm not sure on exact but can get it. Matching legacy lo seats
    Asking 35k

    Step deck is also for sale.
    2020 Norte all steel wood deck.
    53 foot overall. Sliding front axle. 3 folding ramps on the dove tail. 30(?) bullet lights down the sides. Used around 10 times since new.
    Asking 40k


    Reason for selling is his parents own a general store type thing in Mexico and are getting in bad health and have asked if he can run the store for the time being.

    Why don't you have a moose pusher on that thing? I wouldn't dream of going without one here.

    If you rely on the moose pusher do you also speed up? I'd be afraid the SOB would get up and charge me from the side. Knew a guy in Maine in a bread truck literally head butted off the road by a mad moose...(Truck was head butted. Not the person driving.) I think I might rather put myself in the ditch. Just saying

    I don't rely on it. Just extra protection. Could be the difference between being able to drive away, vs stuck on the side of the road doa. I will take a pic tomorrow of mine. I hit a deer at 68mph or so. I just heard a thud and it bounced off and I kept going. If I didn't have the moose pusher, I would have been sitting on the side of the road for sure. To me it's cheap insurance. I don't aim for them. However, Im Not nieve either. I live in a place where wildlife is prevalent, so it would be foolish not to plan for the inevitable.

    Ok makes sense. For anything except moose. No moose. Deer bear big cats whatever. But no moose. Don't know anything about elk. They look big but they might just be mere mortals like deer. Not like moose. Moose are not mere mortals... More like insane Zombie terrors of the woods.

    The ticket you will get, the tow, and still having to fix a truck seems like more money than not ditching it.
