    I could be in. I’ve been back and fourth on plans. I want something to clear the driveway efficiently. Truck that serves multiple purposes (tow, plow, dump even?!). My small tractor is open and underpowered. I might convince my father in law to just use his bigger enclosed JD tractor with a plow for this season.

    06 F350, SRW, 4X4, super cab, short bed(flatbed) 148k. 6.0 all the typical and proper stuff done. In the last 6k miles(2018).
    35s.(3 sets of wheels in total) Well maintained. Not abused, all PSC steering box and hydraulic ram, blah blah.
    Truck was set-up for a slide in camper. Not likely to happen now.
    It's biggest issue is, it sits.
    Yeah, got some time and money into it. But, I. Also other delusional...lol

    I think I love everything about that truck aside from the price you’ll get for it haha. That would be perfect. The issue for me really is the truck would also sit mostly for me too so how much money do I really want to spend on a truck that doesn’t get a bunch of time on the road. PM if you don’t want to post but I’d be interested in the asking price.

    Sent a PM. Though, nothing is really a secret. Just, not listed yet.

    Besides, if I keep it, I'm gonna end up doing something stupid with it....

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    I was hanging out with Jason today as he was spraying my new truck. I had a great time. Thank you very much Jason!

    Yep.
    Messed up my back last week.
    Still home.
    And bored out of my mind. At least after the arm surgery, I could move around, and do things.... I hate having limited mobility.
    At this rate, I think I'm going to burn some vacation days, and just continue to take it easy this week.

    I'm sure no one here is dumb enough to fall for this, but watch out for this scam sent via text message. I got one today. Apparently it's called smishing (sms phishing)

    It’s amazing the leaps and bounds people will go through to make a dishonest dollar instead of just getting a damn job

    No, what is amazing, is people obviously fall for this crap, or it would've died out years ago.
    It takes time and money to get these scams rolling.. if they had net zero return, they would take continue.

    I remember ages ago when I worked at 7/11 in college, I had some guy come in panicked looking for Green Dot money cards because the IRS wanted payment, bla bla bla. I kept trying to convince him that it was a scam, but he was adamant. I refused to sell them to him, but I guess he went across the street to get them. Dumbass

    That's why that one is thrown together kinda sloppily. They'll put in low effort for low reward. They might get some CC numbers here and there, maybe a couple bucks.

    Gotta be careful with CC statements, keep an eye on them, they'll put through charges to places like WAIMART and HOMEDEP0T to blend in and go unnoticed while they're pinging credit card numbers which are still active and work.

    Funny enough....

    Shows how often I go over the bridges. I thought RITBA was a made up organization for the scam.

    My EASYPASS account is through RITBA. I use it on toll roads in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States.
