Well I finally gave in…Had to have one of these bad *** trucks. Local dealer could not find anything that I wanted within 500 miles…Too late to order a 09 and the rebates on the 10's are not good enough right now. So I took it upon myself to search dealer’s inventories, long and slow that it was but it finally paid off. Found the truck in Ohio, I am in Minnesota. Called the dealer up and worked out the price that I wanted and bought the plane ticket to go get it. Plan to leave Friday morning to go get it!!

After all was said and done it ended up being 22% off MSRP. Got them to throw in a free bed mat also.


For the drive back plan is to ride up along the east side of Lake Michigan, maybe stopping in Sault Ste. Marie. Then hugging the south side of Lake Superior for a bit till we change direction and head back for Minneapolis. Should be a really cool trip back, will be about 1,200 miles.

Did I say that I am beyond excited?!!!!!!!

Many pics to come!
