Nice work Russ. You're doing as great job!!

Yup, same here. Won't be pulling any Wheelies with mine. Just want a good solid driver. There is no end on how much cash is needed.

Thank you. Yes, looking at that one too...

Its an open unit, no sure grip, so will be looking to swap it out.

Thank you. I was also looking at Yukon...
