I would like the 40002B with the lights and 16.5 winch. So just go on the website and purchase? And in 45 days it's here?

Yes

I like the 40002B with 16.5 winch and lights (HID) too. I'm going to be saving up to make a purchase. Do you have any recommendations on how we should paint them?

I took the 2nd proto to a really good body shop ive used before. They do really good work (porsche and other high end cars.)
They raped me.
Going to maaco with the next one.

Line-x

I think Line-x would be a very good option.

I did the stupidest thing ever a few years ago...decided this giant oak tree was casting a shadow on the pool, so why not hire a tree guy to 'prune' it.
Well, butcher was close to the truth, then after another haircut to trim it up it...died. So sad, so sorry.

Anyway, what to do with said giant dead oak tree? Chainsaw time. :cheers:
Here's the youtube of it coming down. http://youtu.be/0zcSRRqNRDE

Then we chopped it up but saved some of the bigger pieces to carve benches and chairs (again with the chainsaw.) The biggest of which I figured I'd drag over to a nice flat concrete pad I had to work on it. We latched onto it with the truck and it was a no-go. Wouldn't budge. Snapped a few chains before we came to the conclusion it was still too big. So we worked those little chainsaws and made even smaller chunks of giant tree.

Now it is time for the Superduty and the winch to get a workout.

Hauling cable. I have a synthetic upgrade in the shop

Hooked up and ready to pull

I definitely underestimated even the size of what was left of this log. Dang thing is HEAVY. Truck can't pull it, but if I dig in, set the brakes and winch it'll drag the log. I will note that sustained hard pulls like this will require a high idle, I dragged it a good 60' with the winch.
Some video http://youtu.be/R5-AsI0YYVQ

Once I got it up out of the main yard I hooked up my trusty 3"x30 strap and launched the truck into the traces again, with a good launch I was able to get the log moving and managed to drag it over near the concrete pad. I had a little trouble getting it maneuvered in between the trees and ended up having to re-position a couple times and winch it back into a path it could take.

The sound you hear at the end of this video is the strap snapping when I gave it a 10' run. And that was the end of that fun.
Turned around, hooked up the winch and proceeded to drag the truck. OK, then, not going that way.

Back with the winch to maneuver the log off the chain and position it so I can cut it's base. Once I do that I'll roll it again with the winch up on the pad.

The Superduty did it's job today and worked hard. I really like this wireless controller too.

Then we went downtown Greenville for dinner.

Goddam that bumper is sexy. My buddy is patiently, or maybe impatiently, waiting to see what you come up with for the 2013 150s. The billet grill looks awesome with the bumper also.

Where are you located?

Dang that thing is badass. The craftsmanship is just beautiful. Guess I'll sell my 6.4 to upgrade trucks.
