The (my) new 04 King Ranch at last !!!
Yes....Ok....It's not the 04 KR.
I had talked to Brad about posting pics of my new truck with bits and bobs added from my old KR to make you all wonder !!!
I thought of all the angles I could take pictures from to con you all....
Then thought...bugger it...I can't be bothered !
Truth is I'm going to be too busy playing with my new toy I acquired today.
I finally found exactly the truck I wanted but had to go to Corpus Christi for it. Even then it had to be brought from Dallas.
The worst bit as some of you know was getting the 04 tonneau....but there was just one ARE in Corpus.
I had it painted to match the lower arizona like my old KR and I waited with baited breath until I saw it....
However when I did I was well pleased.
We drove back to the valley and I think it drives even quieter and smoother than the KR.
However it's the first day and I will report the pros and cons as they become obvious.
Thanks for the support and advice some of you have given !!

Did that butt pirate just say purple?
Anyway... I hate to see you leave the KR family Len but, you've got one heck of a nice truck there. I've said it once, I'll say it again, I'm very envious.
Keep in touch with the group and we do expect to see a KROC sticker on the back glass.

Just be true to the King Ranch Lenny. We'll allow the KROC sticker on the back and KR mats but, if you put a badge on it, we might have to come down there and laugh at you.

Those pics are nabbed from Skagel's gallery and were taken when she and Dave were down there...
Actually, the MULE was still top secret at that time. These were dubbed the 'Burrow'
