Rob is East Bound and Down,...

[Darrin Tosh]

The Diesel Rabbit is warming up and I am ready to take off. Sounds like it will be Barney, Rob, Travis and Myself.

Later!

Darrin ran into Rob and Barney as they were traveling across the top of Indiana, then Sherman and I met up with them at just a smidgen after 6pm.

Truck looks great, interior is in great shape - this is a real find. Darrin and I both drove it this evening - yes Rob trusted a couple of Cummins Guys behind the wheel - Didn't let Barney drive though... Hummm... Oh well he was in the bathroom when we decided to take it out of for a ride.

The rear swing tire carrier is top notch work really nice thought out design.

Oh and Rob should be home in about 3 hours

Travel safe Rob.
One of my last trips to Mo was pretty interesting...

Yes it is real

Are you referring to the guy on the longhorn? My buddy raises them and breaks them to ride. Rides 'em in parades and fairs all the time.

Check out my website. Everything is based off the bumper. Here are a few pics. The one on the bottom is a prototype super duty/excursion being tested at the baja 1000 last year. It should be out in about a month.

Mike those are some awesome bumpers! Let's see, I need two that will fit a 1991 F250 and one for an '06 Chevy 3500. How about front bumpers? Never mind I'll just check out your website. By-the-way, that's a beautifull truck yo sold Rob. It's great to see a truck so well taken care of and a previous owner that cares.

I just made it home myslef, The truck is as nice as it looks in the pics, Congrats Rob! (he cant quit grinnen! )

Took me 2 hours and ran into some pretty good storms on the way home.

It was good to see Barney, Rob, Travis and Sherm.

I got some pics but cant post them till tomorrow when I am at the office.

Headed to bed,,..

tonka-
pull the signs down and fly stealth
it is still a pickup for all intents and purposes.

He was really too far ahead of me and I was too tired after already putting in 575 miles to attempt it. Even if I drove straight for another 30+ hrs and 1750 miles I'd have still missed him by at least 4 - 5 hrs.

All good though, I'm back across the border in ND now and already have 2 loads dispatched on me, will pick up in Idiana sunday morning and deliver in Idaho tuesday(1900 miles, $2500) then pick up in Idaho wed morning and deliver in Alberta Friday (1250 miles, $1500) will be a nice fat paycheck for next week

Yup that's the ticket. A guy I met in Liberty MO raises them and brought one to the bus yard so I could get on one for a giggle. He has three versions OK, might get ugly and hang on! Needless to say I took "OK" since I lived to tell about it.

Rob

Congrats on safe trip. Too bad you couldn't have taken I-40 thru New Mexico. 'Course I would have been at work anyway. Of course we'll be looking for a complete shakedown and lots of pictures in the coming days.

Mike do you ever make southern runs? I had to do a double take yesterday morning. There was a hotshot with a truck just like yours and a TT pulled off the road (I-40) taking a siesta near my house. He had the "chromies" on his wheels and had different or no signage I believe...but for a second I thought it could be.
