    It definitely turns heads. I can tell he has a lot of pride and is a very humble person. I especially enjoy the custom fender with a gangster lean.

    No different that thumb switch actually just plumbed to activator from the stick
    If you watch the vid carefully it’s an 18
    He just splits every gear top and bottom side....Which isn’t how you would shift an actual triplex...but it’s his truck so I hope he’s happy

    Except a tri plex only had two sticks. The only 3 sticks that I’m aware of would be a duplex/triplex/quadraplex with a brownie behind it.

    He just needs to point his antennas forward so he doesn't overspeed his radidio!

    Stretched out and spread wide. The only way to ride. Longer WB better ride. Goes for any vehicle.

    We have all seen the trailer skirts and Flow Below that advertise saving millions of pounds of carbon dioxide per year. I wonder if it's possible to measure the increased CO2 production from an extended frame truck.

    Combine that with a pre-EGR engine, and it might not be a "stretch" to say extended frame trucks are killing the environment and polluting the inner cities.

    Should a driver "look cool" going down the road at the expense of the manatee, the caribou or the disenfranchised urban dwellers? I have searched my soul and the answer is a resounding YES:thumbup:
