    One of the weirdest stories I've ever read here that didn't involve wonky women or Ron White level 'stupid'.

    So, assuming one of those isn't part of the whole story (I'm taking side bets here folks), would you be willing to give us the Cliff's Notes version, instead of the random tidbits you've offered so far? I mean it reads like a teasing trailer for the Jerry Springer show so far.

    Good luck with the 'build' of your re-discovered ride!

    In fact, I will sell you my flatbed with all tge lights and arb bar with 10k sybthetic winch all for $3500. Then it will be good to go !! I want to upgrade to a deluxe bar, as my bar is for an 05-11, I had to cut into my grill to make it work and it's been driving me nuts ever since

    I'm curious why you never checked up on the truck in those seven or eight years. You can tell me to piss off as it isn't any of my business, I am just curious about this.....

    I'm still piecing the full story together but what I know so far is my truck was brought to a shop by an unknown female to have headers installed in place of the oem manifolds that were missing (scrapped by tweakers) and that person skipped the bill thus prompting the guy to file a lien

    the last time I checked on it was dec 2017 and it seemed fine. last year was hectic with a death in the family and health issues so I didn't get a chance to get over to see it

    Wait what. How did an unknown female get the truck? Was it in your name all along?

    Thanks for the update. Please fill us in as you learn more.

    I knew it! Here we have the wonky woman (maybe just the first) and 'stupid' (tweakers). Man, and I didn't get any PMs for side bets........ :(

    :amen: Better than a soap opera.

    thats the question I asked the fella that took the job, I'm thinking that might have something to do with why she skipped the bill

    I didn’t mean to come across rude...sorry. I just didn’t see where you had checked on it prior. Then again you didn’t say you hadn’t. So my bad. Sorry to hear you’re going through this.
