Lol ya i know, It's had a very rough 11 years it plowed every year, mud bogged every weekend, hauled a 8,000 lb bobcat everyday, been airborn a few times, pulled out a zillion other cars and trucks, had a 6in lift and 38 on it for most of it, ya plowing was a byTch with a lift. we took it out a few times in the winter. Same motor, injectors, trans front and rear axles! this has been the ultimate test for reliability!! Passed no problem.
Follow this photo bucket link there are new pics with paint and the correct paint color!!! House of Color mixed up the wrong color first. sprayed it, it looked like a giant pig! it was pink, but thats all sanded off now
