Best MJ story- I got too many. One favorite is how I got this truck. Full story is in the build thread but I'll shorten it for now When I found this truck on Facebook, my dad and I both wanted to go get it. Come one weekend in March 2023, we loaded up and set off for Connecticut. The trip up took us two days but we did it. Once we had the diesel loaded up, we hauled it back home to Alabama in 2 days. CC is Awesome! Why? Vast amounts of information and lots of resourceful people. This is a really cool MJ. It is great that there is another diesel back on the road. Congrats, @ThreeComanches!
