Haha! Several of the options are funny... it's also nice to have the Engine Oil drain plug, so you don't have to drop the pan to do an oil change.

You guys are moving right along on the repair, wow!

Re: The Old Soldier

I really wish I could have seen it together with that two tone paint on the stepside. I think it's an interesting paint choice, especially for the army.
