    this IS me.....get the job done, no matter what, and i most certainly do...!!!

    They have a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends them a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks.

    ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.


    dam, dam, dam...my offbeat humor, did me in.........

    It's not all-encompassing, and there's no "pure" results...but it does a fairly good job of defining the basics of one's personality.

    ...as a side note...probably should've linked mine.

    http://www.personalitypage.com/html/INTJ.html

    As for having a newer truck versus an older one... I was happy to get a newer truck, however I really just wanted the extra space.

    If I could've stuck the bunk on my newer truck on the back of my older one, I'd be a very happy camper. The Columbia I had pulled like nobody's business and even loaded heavy, she'd roll like there wasn't much behind me. No problems with hills either. It was a shame it was governed...I imagine it would've hauled ###.

    Newer truck struggles up hills even when lightly loaded. It's not so bad if I take control before hills and get the engine wound up, but even then it can be rough. One of the things I was afraid of with a newer rig was not being able to feel and "communicate" with the truck. (Hopefully I don't sound too crazy by saying that...I don't know how else to explain it.). Thankfully it's not as bad as i had feared, but there's still far less feedback. It would be accurate if I said I felt partially deaf to what feedback does come through.

    I'm with your trainer... Give me the money and an older rig.

    Everything in this 579 says cheap..no doors to hold stuff,in the cubbies.
    Lighting is too direct,in cab,blinds you in every situation.cb spot is puny,nearly impossible to tighten strap securing cb...unless your a midget.
    Truck wont rev past 1500 rpm,dummy swithes already broken.Keep hitting my head on top bunk.No table for paperwork.The only 110 outlets,are at the bunk,so tv,micro,elect skillet..need an extension cord for use.
    Only access to under bunk storage,is on drivers side,have to unpack the whole area,to find something.Ive only been in the truck 12 hours..sure Ill find more..not to like.
    The designers of this truck,should be drawn and quarted,hung,or shot by firing squad!

    @G.Anthony
    Just FYI, "introvert" has nothing to do with what you do at a party or in mixed company.

    It has to do with how you focus and regain energy best as well as how you think.

    Extroverted people learn best by talking or working in groups. You also learn better by interacting with outward stimuli and physical and tangible things.

    Introverts however learn best through inward reflection and quiet thought. Privacy is greatly preferred and most of the information processed happens on an internal level.
