First off, seriously impressive work with the F150!

2nd off Woot Woot for a DSG XLT scab!
In addition the wife and I are currently in deliberation as to if imma keep my truck, or keep it and get her a car. It really depends on a few different things, if I do keep my truck then the first thing im going to do is either A. do a slim line cover, or B. do something like you have done over your bed. I have to say that is the best looking truck I have ever seen with a shell! please give me some info on that thing!

Two Awesome trucks but im alil biased on the Scab.

thanks for the pics
We have not put the rig on the scales, but the tractor without the loader weighs 3600 lbs. I have no idea what the loader weighs.

Your right the load needed adjusted, but with the bucket and the brushhog attached we were pressed for room. You can't see it in the pics but the brush hog arm is haning off the end 2ft!

Thanks for the comments! I actually do not know much about the camper since I bought it used last year. I found it on the local craigslist website. It was all scratched up and the color was red. I ended up repainting to match, new seals, fixed door, new locks, and it was finally done. Total cost invested was $500.00, so I think I made out alright. Most of the time I like it, but it can limit your bed use every once in a while. Before this setup I had a soft toneeau and before that I had a toolbox. My truck looked normal until I put this camper on, now it looks like a tank. ( Looks really big in person)

Hey John, both trucks look good! As others have said it is nice to see good looking trucks that do actually work! I also really like that gooseneck, I think that is going to be my next trailer purchase so that way I don't have to borrow my old mans big deckover.

I believe a B&W. We did not think it was going to work without a special extension to extend the goosenesck further away from the cab, but it did.
