Probably what's going to end up happening or something similar. Going to have to wait until next Sunday when I pick up the pieces from Pat.

If you do that then it's going be a pretty awesome mod. Just an idea why I'd do if I had the stealth box.

After looking at BigTruckGuy's threads and a close up of his console I'm starting to think it will work easier than I expected. I'll probably have to frame the inside of the shell out of mdf or something similar just to give it some stability and build some sort of riser for the shell because the actual stealth box sits inch - inch and a half off the floor of the truck. I got to admit I'm pretty stoked and Sunday can't get here fast enough, forget Christmas

I'll bring the camera, not to many trucks that mine will look lifted next to. Hell I was hoping to see it last time but I got the gold Camry.

If you really wanted to "stretch its legs" we could take it out on the tank trails on main post I know some that almost put my PLS on its side.

I'm sure anything better than being an MP, most of the people in the MP Corp eat their own, but I'm sure that's every where in the Army.

The Paladin mechanics can get pretty dog eat dog, they can only go 10 places tops in the Army so if you're a tool then it doesn't take long for word to spread. I'm almost done with my run though, leave it for the young and the bold.

I can understand wanting to get out of a place, I was at NTC for almost 3 years, been at Hood since 07 with trips to Korea and Sill mixed in. I had a platoon sergeant that has been at Hood for almost 11 years now. As for me it will be 12 when I get out, but I really don't see my body taking another 8 years not to mention my family.

I saw you were trying to get to Germany, my brother in law has been there for a few years. Of course he's been deployed every other year or what ever rotation he's on. Cav's rotation sucks, they had us all excited for 18 months dwell time, then changed it up on us.
