dufunnel - count me in with the old body style and will be for a while. being 2 1/2 years old now and with 33k on the odometer, the wife says I have a long ways to go before another new one comes along. And since we just boght a new hot tub to the tune of $6500 this weekend, no new toys for me for a little while anyways. That's ok tho, I have it setup with all the toys added now, except maybe some new wheels, so I can live with it. I like the old body style and always have. I like the new one too tho. Just can't justify the trade-in of my perfectly good truck on a new one just yet. Long live the retro KR's

Jason here in Bradenton, Florida.
2005 Dark Stone King Ranch 4x4
Every option except homelink and power rear slider.
I got the 3.73 LS axle and off road BFG's and skid plates.
I added XM skifi 2, husky liner mats and mudflaps
and a roll-n-lock bed cover.
Currently in the shop for a freon leak, a bad vibration 35-45 mph and 70-75 mph. and transmission or rear end slippage.

Welcome to the latest batch of new faces...and some of the old regulars...
Nice to see the KR ownership widening so much.
Remember we are a friendly bunch and we don't just go on and on about trucks.....we divert quite a few of the threads into quite bizarre directions.
Blame RP (Brad) for that.
He'll tell you it's me .... don't believe it....he's from Kentucky ! (Which will explain most things)
Don't forget your contributions to the KROCS (King Ranch Owners Club)
If you missed the thread here's a repeat....
Important Notice To All New Members of The KR Forum.
Welcome to all those who have joined recently.
We spent a few years in the "Wilderness" as members of a sort of secret society as so many people didn't seem aware of the KR and it's allure.
However the branding (Ouch!!) seems to be taking off and there are suddenly a lot of new 'faces' around the forum.
Our dear beloved modulator RP (Brad to his enemas) (!), seems to have forgotten that there is a fee for joining the forum ($100).
Every post costs ($10), but after the hundredth post this does reduce to $5.00.
Please send all payments to...
Lenny
Rockingham Palace
United Kingdom.
This will be used for an extremely good cause.....
Namely the purchase of my Bentley Continental Flying Spur.
Seriously though welcome to all have appeared in the last few days.
(You can still send the contributions though!)

He modulates when he doesn't moderate.
ie He jumps up and down when things don't go right.
Actually that's grossly unfair and exactly why he moderates.
He is very patient and tolerant of wrongdoers (not that we get many of them) and gently steers them back on course.
(Whereas I would just tell them to get lost, or words to that effect !!)
Actually I'm being very flippant because I was a moderator in real life!
I had to visit schools and "moderate" the course work grades given by teachers if the students grades didn't come within a certain percentile of their public examination grades.
(A very difficult job telling teachers they're not doing their job correctly !)

Right now though, I only have time to modulate in Missouri on this jobsite.... argh, it's really kicking my butt.
