Nice, a fresh canvas for mods !
Sorry to use your pic but I am curious about trailering. Is it normal practice to tie down vehicles with hook end into a wheel like in this photo ? I saw one last week tied down by the wheels, I had never seen that before.
No its not normal. If it is, it shouldnt be. Thats was a pic from the first knucklehead driver they sent to get it. He showed up in a half ton Dodge and too small of a trailer, and his bumper was down to the ground in that Dodge. Thankfully he never left the lot with it. The company, were as nice they could be, and apologized over and over about having to wait an extra day for another driver to come through and pick it up. I wasnt mad about it. Had he got here with it like that, i would have been. They sent another driver the next day, who's done if for years, and he had a one ton Cummins, with a bigger trailer, that he could better center the load over the axles. He didnt repeat any of the ridiculous things the other one did. He loaded her up in northeast Kentucky, and delivered it to me to my driveway in southwest Tennessee. 415 miles, with no issues. He said the first guy from that debacle the day before, got back, walked straight into the office and quit on the spot!
Normally i wouldnt find that funny, but in his case, he just started the week earlier, and fed them all kinds of lies, about his experience of driving big tractor trailers, up and down Appalachia, just to get the job. So liars are fair game to be laughed at. Hopefully he doesnt have any kids.
good on them for doing the right thing ! enjoy your rideNo its not normal. If it is, it shouldnt be. Thats was a pic from the first knucklehead driver they sent to get it.

Thank ya Bud. I would be in alot happier, if I could find a front bumper valance and the red tow hooks for it. I missed it doing my walk around inspection somehow. Its crazy, because the Trail Boss front ends, are one of my favorite features on them, and i still flat out missed seeing it. Guess i was too anxious to hit the road in it. Lol. The last owner who purchased it new, must have towed it behind an RV or a bus, because the opening for the tow hooks on the front, have been cut out of that valance. They also removed the hooks and never put them back on. Thats the only thing i can figure would have made him do this. What few valances ive found, are in the $400-$500 price range. With this truck payment, i'll do good to keep gas in it.
So that $500 is all but impossible. I'm gonna try to post a pic of what that valance looks like, in this post. If anybody has any suggestions where i can find one alot cheaper, i'd surely appreciate it. Im new to this forum, so I dont know where to post that question. Its cut this same way on the other side as well.
That’s a big miss but I understand it. Won’t say I’ve never missed something !Thank ya Bud. I would be in alot happier, if I could find a front bumper valance and the red tow hooks for it.
