I actually got them from the raffle at truckhaven, but SVO is where they originally came from.

Well, you will probably be waiting a long time before one of the rigs that buys them from SVO to make it to a junkyard. :D

Couldn't have gone to a cooler person ;) Much deserved IMO, even if the truck's owner secretly moonlights in a Jeep from time to time :eek: :D Wish I lived closer so I could watch that monster in action!
