That's the one I was talking about I think? Didn't they have to trim the gas tank? Or maybe that was the previous show.

Either way, that is my favorite TV show.

yeah, they cut down the tank and re-sealed it. The paint job and 23" rims on that puppy were slick...for a tree shaker that is

At the 2003 washington auto show they had the golf ball gathering porche, the trash picking up explorer and something else that I can't remember. On the show the paint jobs look real good and high quality, but up close, you can tell they were done in a hurry and arent as impressive. I assume they probably didnt care since the cars got used one time. All had real bad orange peel effect ......

just wait until you put a chip in it, your fuel consumption doubles. I had to pull mine out for the time being until I get a daily driver, it was putting me broke ...

yeha mine is between 9 and 11. AH well. If you can afford the 35000 dollar truck then having money for gas shouldnt be a problem.

Wow, you got 300 miles? I wish.
