There was a time when nothing in the world would have been cooler to me than owning this big lifted Chevy pickup. I still remember my first lifted truck. It was awesome! And it had Swampers. Well it did after I realized that BFG Mud Terrains were not cool. So it is the Swampers that first grabbed my attention and made me focus on this truck. The fact that it is Big Block powered, has a blower, and is done up so clean then really grabbed me.

I could never own this truck though. Someone can, you can, anyone else can. I can’t. Why? Because I’m going to hurt it and make it not pretty anymore when I go to Azusa Canyon and bury it in the mud. And jump it. And bury it. And pull other people out of the mud with it. You know, all the truck stuff you are supposed to do with a truck. But one of you can own this thing. And you should. Because I will be jealous.
