Future Plans

Nothing! Not for this truck at least. I want to thank the people around me who helped me to make this truck what you see in the pics; my club brothers and sisters(especialy, Chet, Shawn, Trever, Jeff, Josh and Joe "AND BLAKE THE SNAKE"), Ken at After Hours and Ken(the best mechanic ever) at Triangle Import Repair for keeping the engine running after all the times I f'd it up, Robb at the Drop Shop for the original bag install, Jay at Car Nuts(every minitrucker in the world should know this guy), Phil and the guys down at FBI, Frank and Geoff up at Mother Goose Customs on the beautiful island of Canadia, my girl Melissa for being a super cool "Minichick" and being cool enuff to let me dress her up like a school girl for some pics, and my two best buds in the world, Jim for teaching me how to weld, and Danny for showing me that I "have been" and "will always be" a MINITRUCKER!!!!! I hope all of these guys are hip to dive into another build with me.
