New (to me) truck

SWEET rig Mike!! Perfect color. I think ya did the right thing in not messing with frame replacement. I used to have a friend who is a service writer for a Toyota dealership. I’ve heard some good stories on that affair.

Now it’s time for a big fat block M decal. And you can start pinching pennies for that mill.

 

I've spent nearly the last 2 months trying to find a decent Reg Cab, 4WD, 8' box, 1/2 ton truck, new or used. They are becoming rare as hen's teeth these days. That the major reason that I was seriously considering replacing the frame on the old Chevy. My local Ford dealer literally could not find a single one within 200 miles. I think I only saw one of these at any of the local dealers I visited (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota) and that one was used and in pretty rough shape. Even so, it sold before I could make an offer on it.

 

Thank you. Please feel free to say a few prayer that it's not a bad of lemon as my former truck.

 

Yes, good idea. I sure like the way the Rams have looked over the last 20 something years. I just don't like the way that corrosion likes them.

That's a sharp looking truck.

 

Now that is a great idea! Once I get the "rainy day fund" replenished, I will have to start on a "bandsaw mill fund." Between your chainsaw mill and if we could get a bandsaw mill, we'd have a proper business plan. I like the sound of "Wolverine Custom Sawmilling." Some how we need to get some more buzz words like: Reclaimed lumber, artisanal, gluten-free, vegan, etc. to attract the big money customers.

 

Lol!! I can see a really cool chainsaw carved Wolverine in our future.

 

dont forget green, sustainable, solar, hybrid, low fat, low cal, sale, 2 for, bogo, clearance, Dollar menu, lactose free, freemium...

 

and carbon neutral

 

Sloth friendly, sustainable, biodegradable, and you have to have a sticker on the gas door that says " Teddy bear pee" and it emits unicorn farts from its exhaust pipes.

 

He could make the participation trophy from reclaimed barn wood and recycled plastic bags.

Oooooooh. I forgot about the cardboard drinking straws.

 

Wait, wut was this thread about again?
Don't ferget sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows in the safe room.

 

Maybe tomorrow. FWIW, it's a pretty basic model ("Express") with a few electronic accessories but nothing fancy. It will be quite a change from our old Chevy with vinyl floors, roll up windows and manual locks, etc. Honestly, the RAM's definitely have the best ergonomics of all the newer trucks I looked at - K.I.S.S. for sure.

 

Nice ride. Glad you found something.

 

I'm not sure those two words can be used together.

 

Good looking truck. But can it haul wood?

 

see now you have a reason for a new garage/shop
