Pass me sum of that transmission fluid!!!!!

What's up Texas Ranger!!!

First let me state that I grew up with this guy and we spent alot of time dreamin up some crazy sh@t but I was always the dreamer and he was the doer. We would hash out some wacked out idea over alot of rum and a little coke and "bippity boppity bacon" next day he would have the ball rollin. As he stated a few posts back, you will only improve if you try. And this feller has definitly improved his game. Props and love to ya man. This truck has forced a premature underwear change. Someday I hope to see ya again.

p.s. I still don't think this trumps the "hatchless horizon".

We're out!

Clutch is in and we are out of the garage! Took me and a buddy about 12 hours ofdrinking to complete. Just need an alignment and inspection and I'm on the road.

Better view of the bed liner

Headlight buckets are done too.

Tuco is a little dirty and needs a bath.

Those buckets looks killer. The truck looks great Brutto.

Come on baby, light my...

So I was eating a late dinner, enjoying the warm spring breeze coming through the open door, wondering why the dogs were going nuts. I got up to see why they were barking, it was because the fire department was in my back yard. My truck was on fire.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! i just looked at this post this mornin on my phone and was thinkin thats a really cool truck, then i look back and this happens, this blows man, what was the cause of the fire?

 

[Il Brutto]

Something electrical shorted out under the hood. At least no one got hurt.

 

[4x4b2]

so what are the plans with the truck now man? and what motor did it have in it?

 

[Il Brutto]

No idea what the plan is at this point. It has a burned 2.9

 

[4x4b2]

was it insured? will insurance cover the damage?

 

[Il Brutto]

Full coverage. Just filed the claim, so I don't know. This just happened about an hour and a half ago.

 

[4x4b2]
