New (used) Tow Rig
 

Just got home about noon today with our new (used) tow rig. Did the deal in my usual fly by the seat of my pants, leap of faith fashion. :drink::evilb: Found it on the internet, wired the guy a grand and booked a one-way flight to Texas. Flew down, the guy met me at the airport with the truck and his wife following him. I gave him a check and signed the papers and hauled azz heading east.:eek: No real issues, other than being detained by the PoPo in Arkansas for an hour or so while they searched me, my bags and the truck, then let fido sniff it before sending me on my way. Bored cops with nothing better to do in the middle of the night. :rolleyes: Stopped by Pier57 to see my friends and took a tour. They've got a bunch of cool chit there!!!!

Anyway, the truck made it, ran flawlessly, burned or leaked no oil and was easy on fuel. Mama's happy and I'm happy. Life is good. No reason to not drag OldSchool II to some poker runs now!! :evilb::evilb:

Nice ride Craig. Needs some graphics to match old school now and you'll be big pimpin :)

Sweet Ride!

Good luck with it.

Awesome truck Craig

Awesome!!!!!!!!

very cool, you may have to add some weight to the rear with that single axle, but that is baaaaad boy

congrats

Sweet!!! Now you're out of excuses I think.

Nice ride Craig ! What motor, trans and fuel milage?

Cool Dude!!:coolcowboy:

Looks great Craig. Make sure you get a proper sized hitch! :D :D

Where are the center caps for the front wheels ??:lolhit:

Bad A$$

Great looking Rig...~

Congrats!!...:drink:

Congratz on the new ride craig
funny thing is my friend is going to texas to look at a 42 fountain and will more than likely buy it you could have tried it out right from the get go and made some money to come home on

Nice rig Craig! Congrats and good luck with it!

How about a good pic of the little red Corvette in the garage?

no need to sell the vette that thing is not going to fit in the garage

WOW its just like the one Sunkin had.:lolhit:









Its really nice sorry get a weird sense of humor when I'm tired

(In my best Smokey voice from the movie "Friday") Dang Craig, you lookin good!!!!

You should have called me before you hit the state line here. I could have prevented that from happening. ;)

Enjoy the rig....

Buck

3126 CAT. 6-speed Allison and between 12 and 14.8....depending on what speed I went. The first day I never went over 65 and got 14.8 mpg. I couldn't believe it! :D That changed as I became comfortable with it.

In the mail. GFY! :drink:

:cool: Just put it up on our local club site as a feeler. It just sits there and never gets used. :(

I'm sure that he could give me all kind of advice about it! :D

Nice rig Craig. I'll check it out in July :drink:

Congrats! matching vinyl graphics next and tint!

Craig, congrats, what did you pull the Cig with before this fine rig?
Dean

Flames. And some tribal stuff with matching neon. Old school, ya know? :lolhit:

Looks great man! Those things do drive nice for medium duty rigs. Does it have Air suspension?

very cool ive had a couple of those in the past few years. you will be amazed when you put the boat on it.I currently have a 650, same motor /trans. pulling my cig 70-80 mph i still get around 10. my old ford 550 got 4. any questions on the trucks pm me. last one I had had a stock beat up interior. I put a new interior package from sportchassis and it was relatively cheap.

I have a 2500HD Chevy crew cab with the Duramax/Allison. It pulled the Cig fine. The problem is that it is rated to tow 12000lbs. and we all know that I'm over that. Thinking with the "what if" mode made me buy this. If a family in a minivan pulled out in front of me and there was an accident, I think that the insurance company would turn their back on me. That wouldn't be pretty. :( Don't have to worry about that anymore! :D

Air ride seats and suspension. It's not air brakes....but some kind of hybrid air over something or other. I don't know, but there is air related to the maxi brake???

Cool.... and thanks. This one was customized by a company in Dallas called Western Hauler. It has some neat stuff in it. A woman owned it and hauled a horse trailer with it. She traded it in on a newer one. She would take it to the Freightliner dealer regularly for maintenance and forwarded all of the maintenance records, so I have a good feeling after looking at all of it that it'll be good for us.

It's got a diamond plate/steel one piece bed thingy on it and it looks like it's got some weight to it. I'll find out how it tows soon enough!

Thanks Buck. The PoPo wasn't thrilled that I was running without a tag on it. :D:drink: :chimp: I had a paper tag and all of the documentation in the cab with me. They told me when they let me go to stop at the next exit and get some tape to display it in the back window. I stopped and got some tape........about 4 hours later. :D:D

Cool, its an extended cab, from the pic w Nancy I couldn't tell, I like that, nice shorter wheelbase. That will be perfect for tight ramps and such.

It's got a nice bed back there with a coffin sized storage compartment under it. I was surprised how comfy it is. I slept in that beeotch twice for 6 hours or so on the way back. :D

Plenty of space for toys and tools- looks perfect for your boat.

Do you need any special license endorsement to drive that rig? Around here I think you can drive anything under 24,000lbs with your regular G lic, as long as it doesn't have air brakes.

Very nice rig sweetie! Very nice.

Good seeing you Craig... BTW Thanks for lunch..:drink:

Craig thats awesome! I got eastbound n down playin in my head :D

The ladies call that the "screw cab".......:D

Nice truck. Sunkin says to make sure you re-gap the spark plugs after the long return trip! :D

Fringg' sweet, man! Now you're styling like a pro.

Shall we call you, LilChub?

:D :evilb:

Congrats Craig, looks sweet.

Nice looking machine bro!

Congrats on the new rig:coolcowboy: Now you can come back and see us:drink:

Couple questions?
-Who the fack is minding the store while your lollygagging around the country like that?
y
-When are you finally going to put your thumb away and bring your own boat to SoFlo for a run???

And finally

-When are the Redskins make the playoffs again?





BTW Nice truck!:drink:
