Aight, so we traded the dodge in for something a bit more suitable for the job of towing our rigs to the trail:

1988 Ford f-250 4x4 extended cab w/ a 460 gas guzzler. These are the pics from the guy before we got it, but we'll be getting lots more pics if it's light enough after work :yesnod:  The sticker needs to go, anyone have an extra "Got Marlin" sticker? :gap:

I'm with ya there.  This'll do the job for awhile though.  Plus, being a 460, my stepdad has 3 of them so if anything happens to this one we have backup :gap:

It gets about 13 mpg :nana: Which isn't bad at all for a 460.  And no, his Dodge couldn't keep up with yours :hahaha: Although I heard he smoked you out of Tahoe in September :dunno:
