Didn't you say you really wanted one of these?
Your very own Troopy? (Or Hilux, or . . .)

Proudly wearing my MC1R mutation!
Yes.
Yes indeed I did.
I'd need to sell off the Jalopy first though.

Cat's out of the bag!! Check it out, my new tow rig. Flew down to Texas Saturday AM to pick her up. Was planning on being up at Rice's for the party, but was delayed (long story) by 4 hours.
2004 F-550 - 6.0l powerstroke, ZF S6-750, 2WD, 211k miles. No issues in the 1250 miles from Fort Worth to Durham over two days! Body/Chassis/Interior in excellent shape. Motor has a few codes, but some TLC will get her fixed up in a jif.
Need to come up with a name!

DomJ. Short for "domestic junk."
Congrats!
I think you should start a new thread for naming the new truck. My suggestions are all based on your LC's name of Moonshine:
- Mason Jar
- White Lightning
- Bootlegger
- Hooch
- Lohocla (alcohol spelled backwards)
- Revenuer
Ooooh, good call. I was starting to feel out "Moonglow" for the F-550. Something related to bootlegging or moonshining is a must though!!

Stump Juice
rumrum
I second Bootlegger. Or perhaps RumRunner or The Tomoka (The name of The Real McCoy's armed rum-running ship).

Tomoka! I like that one.
"RUMRUNNR" is available as a NC vanity plate
Interesting article for aftermarket bumpers:
Buyer’s Guide: Front Bumpers
and Bill Burke's commentary on it, for balancing purposes:
Bill Burke I am just disgusted with the vast majority of winch/mount bumpers and their DANGEROUS designs! Hidden winch mounts, hard to see drums, small hand openings for the clutch lever access! You all just continue the process by telling people these are soooooo great! Use a winch once in five years... who cares if it is hard to access! Start using a winch weekly....(regardless of driver error!) and the danger mounts with (mostly unskilled) people operating these unsafe units! Step up and quit pandering to the money and make a difference!!!
