Thank you! Funny my daughter, who is a photographer, always gives me grief about how all my pictures have the hood of my truck in them!
-
Good-Grief!
Without the hood, they'd just be postcard
quality photos. IMO, it's the Pete's hood that
makes your photos a cut above the rest.
And all the more appealing to Big truck truckers.
Please!
Keep the hood.
That hood makes your photos FEEL good as
well as LOOK good.
**(And, for what it's worth --- I'm a former
MotorSports photographer.
And equestrian, too.
And portraits as well, but I DON'T do
weddings and anymore.
NopE!
I cry at wedding --- making it difficult to
focus.
But I DO miss the champaign.

Makes Me Happy
Makes Me Feel Fine.

The Hood Makes It Real ,i Could Almost Feel The Turbo Starting To Pull.

WhEW!
I thought I was the only one.
While we're on the subject, --- did y'all viewin' these photos find yourselves reachin' for the gear shifter to drop a gear, or two, on some of those foggy, narrow curves?
And how many viewers out there would like to
see a photo of the entire Big truck that Wildkat negotiates on those roads?
I figure she MUST get outta her Big truck every now and then.
How 'bout it, WK?
I, for one, would appreciate seein' what I'm imagining I'm drivin' with you.
On a good day, I can even HEAR the engine, the Jake, and the turbo splindlin' up,........ And on a REALLY good day, as I sit in my high-back, rolling, reclining, multi-tasking, executive computer chair, with arm rests properly adjusted, height set correctly, with my feet planted firmly on the floor, under a roll-top desk --- which supports this computer's CPU, printer, and flat-screen monitor ---- I imagine I can feel the torque of that Big truck's Big truck motor.
Gawd I LOVE torque!!!
And, a favor, porfavor? Could you include more of the dash, and gauges -- gawd I LOVE gauges! --- from time to time?
That would be chocolate icing on a triple-chocolate cake,....... or cupcakes,... your choice.
MY treat.
All y'all can eat ......
and some take-alongs for those breathtaking northern roads.
*( That's why I was thinkin' "cupcakes".
A tad handier.
With napkins, of course.
But now I'm thinkin' both. )*
Now, I have no idea how many words I just typed --- and I'm too durn lazy to go back and count.
But y'all just got my condenced version.
Imagine that!
I reckon it'd be pretty easy to run up 1000 words -----:smt100......... but WhY?
The picture(s) will STILL be better.
I wish y'all clear skies and sunny weather, and complete cooperation from and by ALL mechanical parts --- AND internal parts too.
Thanx and Best Wishes.

I will try to remember to get some of the gauges & stuff.. I haven't taken any pictures of my truck recently cause right now it's just filthy & I'm embarrassed to take any!
At the end of August my daughter (the photographer) is coming along for a ride, so I'll get her to take some good shots of her!
Here's one of my dash last winter:
I was crossing this river:
Which becomes this at the end of the season:
And believe me the 2.5 mile crossing seems REALLY REALLY long!
Then in summer we cross on this:
dollylama, AfterShock, Baack and 2 others Thank this. -
My last trip to Whitehorse:
Muncho Lake:
And since it doesn't really get dark I thought this looked kind of cool...at 2 am:
Some buffalo on the road!
Some scenery along the way:
And for those who requested it....my WHOLE truck!
I seem to recall someone asking for a dash picture!
