    Actually, no that's not my reaction. I used to build those big 4x4 trucks. Had 3 of them at once. One for work, one for mud, one for show. I'm one of those people that can appreciate the efforts of others. If someone can get onstage and play music, I can appreciate them. If you can take a vision out of your head and turn it into reality, I can appreciate it. It doesn't have to be my style, or something I would do. You do you. I will do me. @spyder7723 likes a big house, @wore out likes his Petes. Are they compensating? Is that what people with no vision or pride call people with vision and Pride in that Ride? Compensating? Compensating for what?

    It is a medical condition called smallpenisitis. Similar symptoms are platter sized belt buckles, sleevesless shirts, 8 ft long gear shifts, and a propensity for telling how they set that (cop,pig,DOT, Trooper) straight with a call to his pal from the Marshall's who is a Nvay Force Recon Seal Ranger, and an inability to turn off his Jake brakes

    Yeah not likely. Useless in my world.

    That post was humor. I could really care less what folks do with their trucks. People spend money on all kinds of stupid ####. Making a useless truck is no even that abnormal.

    So what do you spend your fortune on?

    Something you like and worth while to you?


    That's all trucks are to some of us. Doesn't make me or you right or wrong

    Agreed.

    Mostly ammo........and ammo boxes, and guns. But mostly ammo. Without ammo I have a fancy stick to hit people with when they come for me o_O

    That's generally the excuse of someone who's too lazy to have something nice of their own, whether it's house, car, or truck.

    It's not useless pal, I bet that thing sees as many miles in a week September through about January than you put on in 2 weeks at any point in your life.

    In any segment I have worked in from feed (dump,hopper,walking floor, belly belt, auger, and pnuematic), to cattle, to reefer, to dry van, to tanker that truck to me would be worthless. #### thing could not begin to make the deliveries I do now.

    If the guy who has it finds a use good for him. I could care less how many miles he runs. It is about dollars in the bank.
