Total idiot mobile trying to top the jacked up F350s. Plenty of that going on in the suburbs, especially towards the Central Valley.

I do have to say, I'd like to commute in a truck - it is just twice as much as by car. But a half ton would be fine.

minor thread hijack..

I'm just about ready to swap a DT-466 into this. Should be an interesting job. It currently has a DT-360 that is struggling to keep up with the weight of the gantry, support equipment, rigging, sound equipment (The Monolith) and a hot tub in the back.

I'll try to get photos of the swap if interested. Are you very familiar with these engines?

It is an interesting paradox. I just like building stuff that shoots fire.

Mildly..... We had 3 of them on the place at any given time growing up. Didn't have to do much to them though usually. Also depends on the year, we had them from 1984 model to 2001... Big changes in the electrical and injection systems.
