But it didn't start out like this.




We returned from our trip to Colorado Sept 2009 to find this waiting in the yard.

It needs a few little sumthuns--but it is a great start I do think.

HAH! I forgot about that truck since you told me about it when I was there. Have fun!

Welcome home. Hope you and the Missus has a great time (and hi to Sheri from me).

Cheers,

Brad

THat's pretty sweet! i'm guessing the first things to do would be to make it either road legal if it's going to be driven.. or buy a trailer to make it a trailer rig. :thumbsup:

It needs a garage! Weather is kind of crazy in KS.

2 off road rigs now? Bring it to SMORR next month, lets see what it can do :)
