    Drove a Company Pete for a couple of years, The girl was getting higher in mileage, and the company pulled me out of it and into a newer International. Trust me. you don't want to put to much money into her. To me, there is nothing like a Pete! but sometimes when you don't own it, you don't have the say you want to have. so....Save the money... Called mine Red when I drove it.

    All vehicles are named after women because they're beautiful or can be a bytch to start.Just like hurricanes are named after women,don't think I need to give a reason why,lol.

    That's good you can take whatever you do to trk with you.I thought maybe you was going to get those chrome sticky things that you can't take off without making a mess.I know nothing about decorating trks,lol.Make sure you post pics once you get your trk all decked out.

    Why would you put a 12" extension on the gearshift. Do you. Of understand the leas of physics. I.E. the leverage that the extension exerts on the shifting forks. I mean really is it that important to show the world you have a gearshift that you woul chance breaking things in the tranny.

    i had one on my purple truck (profile pic) and i personally loved it it was more comfortable for me being the driver seat had no arm rest also it seemed to shift a lot smoother and to some degree i liked the looks. we have one driver and he has a kw w900l with a 18" extension now that thing is ungodly over-sized but in 540,000 miles he has never had an issue with it. so i believe as long as your careful you should be ok
