    Buggy, We have not seen the flip up front end yet. What size are the tires?

    Congrats to your boys making the play offs

    The flip on the front is still a work in progress. It flips but not on it own power. Other things seem more important right now. Tires are 9R-22.5. I did get the running boards on just before we left for the weekend. We camped at Guilford lake in Ohio and it turns out the super nationals were going on in Salem. We ran up Saturday night for a while and the truck was a huge success. Anyhow, Here is a shot with the running boards on

    Thanks to Steffon (fabmancoe) for helping make them. Now on to the bed......

    Went camping in NY last weekend and we stopped at a rest stop to let the dog do her business. I hear someone say "hey" and I turn around to see a state trooper. He tells me " that truck is bad a$$" and takes about 6 pictures of it. My wife wanted a picture with me and the trooper. Its a cell phone pic so its not the best. She calls it the busted for being too cool picture.

    The truck is running great and the only issue so far is a mirror bolt that came loose. Heading to Ocean City MD at the end of next week. Trying to finish up the interior before we head out. Still got some electrical gremlin in there somewhere, can't get the ac compressor to fire up with the ****on on the dash. Works when I put power to the clutch and blows cold air. I think I will have it sorted out this week though.

    Put 1159 trouble free miles on Big Bertha while on vacation. Well almost....exhaust hanger let go and a coat hanger saved the day. So far she has been in 6 states and DC. Stopped and help some campers out around Breezewood PA. They ran out of gas and were waiting for someone to come. They were thrilled that I had a 5 gallon can of gas with me or they would of had to wait another 2 hours.
