Turdle's 1998 Mountaineer: May 2009 Feature Truck

Its that time again. This month's Feature Truck goes to a guy who has a lot of time and work in his Mounty. Using his words the "madness set in" and he now has one of my favorite trucks on the forum.

This month Feature Truck goes to Turdle and his Awesome 1998 Mounty. It is one street truck that has gone wild. Hopefully I will be able to catch with with him here soon.

Here is to your work Jon. :thumbsup:

Congrats! That 3rd picture down looks great!
 












...Congrats on being the "Feature Truck of the Month"...:chug:
 


















there really should have been at least one pic from when Turdle was on the good side:D

I agree, for those who maybe are new here browsing our feature trucks, Jon had a *****en street warrior turned lifted truck.

Congrats Jon! It's been a fun truck to watch transform.
 






Very nice vehicle sir. Congratulations on EFFT.
 






Congrats Jonny. As much as I liked the old rendition, the new one is funky. I look forward to seeing it up close.
 






I have had the pleasure of watching this truck transform into what it is today!! Even was allowed to help some!! It is a bad a$$ ride. And I can say that Jon has had very little hands on help.Giving new meaning to the frase " I did it by myself "!!

I'm proud to call him my best friend!!
 












Congratulations, Jon! A very well deserved recognition of one SSSSWWWEEEEEETTTT Mounty!
 


















LOL, 4 months too late for some of you guys. Where were you in May? :p:
