Another Amen from me. On words stated that good, I don't think you can have
enough.
I have already been thinking "What a shame" to see a 4x4 that is never used
for anything other than groceries. Dirty is fine with me. Right now my
truck sits in the work parking lot dirty from getting back into places
during turkey hunting and I wouldn't have it any other way. It'll get clean
again at some point, but it's a truck.
I only wish I could do a little more 4 wheeling....
