Definitely a suspicious looking character if I ever saw one...I've had some equally criminal looking ones lurking around my home many times...The last ones I caught panhandling stayed around 14 years each while I tried in vain to alert the proper authorities to deal with them...If I were you, I'd keep that suspect close in case he tries to make off with your truck, or a case of Vienna sausage or other valuables before the authorities get there......Ben

Yeah ya gotta watch the little ones, the're sneaky.

Did some pump tuning, checked the torque on my wheel spacers and finished mounting up the spare tire lift and put some grease in various joints. All in all a fairly productive day.

Attended a fund raising picnic for PABR beagle rescue this past summer. There were over 200 beagles in attendance.

3 of which were mine.

Fun stuff.

Driver's side door fender and rocker panel.

Driver's side floor. Photo is oriented so the rocker panel as at the bottom. The cab mount on this side is fine.

Passenger side fender. The rocker on this side is okay.

Passenger side front cab mount. Oddly, the floor is fine.

Then Saturday as I was coming up from test driving the 240 after a voltage regulator issue and swap, this guy pulls up in front of my house and asks if I'd be interested in selling my W250.

And when you asked him how much cash he's willing to throw in for an even swap, then what?......Ben
