Why people should vote for you?
Our Truck is not the prettiest unit, but it sure goes bloody
good. We love proving that you don't need to spend big bucks
to be competitive. Besides that, we prepped our truck for
2007 but snapped the gear box and cut our weekend short. The
truck is fixed and we wont another go!
