    Hey, I was looking at some pictures of that volvo independent air ride suspension on the steering axle, and got to thinking about having to do some work to the engine from the bottom, like removing the oil pan for main and rod bearing replacement..........God help you with all that stuff in the way!

    Oh it's no problem, all ya need is a DIY socket set and a small bottle jack lol, it would be a 'dose' I'd say, maybe they've thought of it or maybe you have to have the hands of a fairy

    I think that the part with the "hands..." is more likely......or you'd have to turn a few hours of work into days and disassemble the whole truck.

    You will mainly be seeing the rear view disappearing in the distance in front of you so not to worry.

    their design starts to grow on me,its all about assotiations.
    the sides resemblems to some H.R Giger's paintinngs.
    the abrupt door windows looks like an AH64 ####pit.
    the old f series didnt had orizontal lines integration either,still its a beautyfull truck
