Here in Kuwait, the largest gathering in the world for pickup. 400 trucks are different. This festival is No. 5, an annual festival in the winter of each year .. Festival of the Arab states are different. It was a wonderful ceremony .. This footage from the ceremony

Some nice looking truck . Why is there no one with there hood open . One of the things here is the U.S that we pride our self on is the engine and engine compartment . When there is a show in the U.S like this just about everyone will have the hood open to show there hard work under the hood .

Wow thanks for sharing it opened my mind. Never knew these trucks had a following out there.

Note to self - If I ever decide to sell this truck don't forget to market to oil rich folk
