I orignally saw this truck on eBay but decided not to bid because I'm usually cautious when buying something you can't see and touch. A few days after the auction ended I decided to drop the seller an email to see how the auction went. Sure enough, the buyer had personal problems and couldn't buy the truck. At that point I said what the heck, buy it. A airline ticket to Newark NJ plus a NJ Transit bus ride and I was there. After checking out the truck, kicking the tires and a test drive I was on the road heading south for 600 miles. The truck already had a 5/5 drop, 2 10" subs with amps, Kenwood head-unit, after-market coolant, battery, oil pressure and tachometer gauges. Not a bad startng point. Like my other truck I will be tracking and documenting all the monies I put into this truck. So let us begin.

Took a trip up to NYC for MLK holiday to visit family and friends. As soon as I cross into Jersey, I knew I was in trouble. A drop truck is not the prefered vehicle of choice for NYC streets. Driving is the snow wasn't fun either.
