    Someone offered me 11.5k for my truck. Pretty crazy to drive a truck for 10 years and 70k and sell it for more than you bought it for. Hoping my 4th gen does the same!

    You dudes been on any runs lately? I just cruised Santiago the other day in the new truck halfway up. Gotta wait until I can get some AT's on it.

    I have mentioned it before, or made similar comments, but if you have never done a night run up Santiago Peak ALL the way to the towers then you are missing out big time!!!

    Quite the experience doing a run up Santiago at night!!!

    Me personally I have experienced "ghost lights" twice. Once with a group of friends and once by myself. No, it wasn't any light from a distance or anything like that. The craziest one was with my group of friends and my friend that was trailing me a few feet behind my truck experienced the same thing and we were both perplexed on what had happened???

    Anyways, it really happened and just no explanation? Could not have been the other two trucks because they were "above us" so to speak on the trail as we were all coming back down from the peak and this was at our "ground level" right in front of me and the truck just behind me and literally just around the corner, which is why I called out over the radio for everyone to stop to let the oncoming traffic pass us.

    But yeah, night runs up Santiago I miss a LOT!!!

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it if you have never done one? :burnrubber:
