    You gotta get that stuff out of the way right away so you can relax
    If you can get hit in the first few months of getting a new truck then you can run 4 more years without a scratch

    my w9 was paid for when I drove it home.

    back corner if I have to park at a truck stop, most of the clowns are too lazy to walk to the store from back there

    And you should…

    Any truck that is paid for or not, and gives you good service while making a living is a good truck. Many of us carry on with foolishness, but I’m sure most feel bad for anyone who gets their equipment tore up.

    I’m sure many laugh at my bucket of bolts, but I’m pretty thick skinned and have an advantage many don’t….;)

    My W9 had a blown engine when I bought it. The guy I bought it from brought the spare engine setting on his frame behind the sleeper.

    I spent 18 months building the truck, and the last thing I did was was install a new mudflaps and a new bumper.

    My truck is no better than anyone else’s, but like everyone else, my biggest fear is finding it with the bumper wrinkled and the hood busted…. CFD0CD3C-87B6-4E0A-9FDF-7913EE0D5FDA.png

    Wish I had a pic but 4 or 5 months ago I was passed by a 1/2 ton pickup with a crated KW A model hood complete with all the jewlery on a UHaul trailer it was pulling. Going north thru San Antonio. He must of picked it up in the Rio Grande Valley somewhere. It looked like it was darn near original paint and could tell it was a salvage yard part.
