I'm still around but I generally hang out in the 4th Gen forums. There's no pesky HAC in there.

yup, I know... The reflection of me in my work clothes and the upside down wheelbarrow kind of destroy the illusion of this being my bed liner....

Asphalt would be so much cheaper, and repairable too

Yeah, but with the paving stones, you can adjust the weight to driving conditions by adding or removing stones

But you can't paint stripes on it very well. Wouldn't that be a hoot. Little parking spaces for ricers in the back.

DTR seems to be fading off if this timeless classic only gets brought up every six months or so!

O Hoss, you Rascal.

F150's don't have the payload for as many parts as they need, but seriously, most half tons only carry the groceries.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

The Nipponese half tons carry about 3/4 of a ton.

Most of the long time members will already know this but for the newbies, you aren't allowed to comment on or resurrect this thread until you can prove that you have read every single comment / reply
