Best MJ story- Haven't made a whole lot of memories with this one yet, but there's plenty to come!

 

 

CC is Awesome! Why? - I have been on online forums pretty much since they came into existence but I've never been on one that provided so much information, help and enthusiasm.  You can tell that the people in the CC really love these trucks and are generally good folks just wanting to keep the MJ dream alive.  This place is awesome and I'm very thankful for all the help I've been given and all the help that I can give out in the future!
