Got a new(used) truck!

So with the sale of the Redneck trailer having a dually became a bit of an overkill. Decided it was time to "downsize" and get a truck that was more versatile as a daily driver. Something Gisele could easily drive as well(although I thought she did just fine with the dually =D> ). I really waffled about getting a short box or long box. SB better for daily use, LB better for hauling stuff. For my grass cutting with the quad in the back and all the gear the 8ft box is pretty full, I could "get by" with a SB by putting more stuff on the trailer. Just when I convinced myself a SB would be ok I went and picked up a bunch of lumber and 4x8 plywood and realized I needed a long box. I thought about getting a flat deck with some sort of extendable bed, even had plans in my head on how to build such a deck. Give it fold out sides to make deck wider to fit two quads side by side, make rear gate lock horizontally for a longer deck......

So when I saw this I pretty much just went and bought it.

Click on the pics to see it all.

2006 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 Diesel, short box, with TRX off road package with pretty much the deck I just described.
