    Oooo. I'm slightly ashamed of myself right now.. :D

    That dang vulva ain't half bad. Toss that roof fairing & you got a decent looking ride. That 5 & a quarter n14 be a monster running around 55klb & under.! Liking the mini split ac on the back wall of the bunk for sleep'n too.. :thumbup:

    LoL, no FB but I popped it into youtube.

    The 1st video was koleka problems!! Pretty funny, just a bunch of very preventable accidents, with some road rage mixed in. Very similar to what we have clowning their way up & down the USA roadways.. :D

    Those Volvo's have a stigma attached to them, but I like them better than the Freightliners for many reasons.

    Number 1 reason for me is the crash safety. High strength steel cab. (Down side to that is rust.)

    The rest are just personal preferences like ergonomics, sleeper layout, etc.

    Hey guys. So this 2004 Freightliner Columbia has about 900k miles, and can be had for less than $18k. If it checks out mechanically, is it something anyone would still steer me away from?

    CL 120 with 212 wheel base. Single screw from the factory.
