Y'know, I admit I've done/been doing the same exact thing.

My dad asked me years ago..."What are you saving it for?" Guess I don't know.

Unless it's an investment to you - Not telling you what to do, but I suggest you try to find the time to enjoy it.

The rubber is drying out, the leather is hardening, and the plastic is getting brittle as we speak.

Exactly ,, anyone that just sits on something like these trucks s in it for the investment.. the question is how long will it take to make the investment actually pay off .. vehicles that sit end up having all kinds of problems down the road , dry rot , corrosion and can become very expensive to fix it all back up to par again .. with these trucks it’s been 20 years now and the values of investment is still now exceptional ..The prices are all over the place .. Manufacturers parts are priced out of sight or no longer available..

Guilty

I’m definitely not in it as an investment,there just never seems to be the right time .Hopefully,as I retired this year I may be able to get a thou or two on the mileometer next spring/summer

Something to consider when stored for super long periods of time ..

Oiling a frame to prevent rust

Quote I am considering filling one end of a frame with 600 weight oil and let it flow out the other end in an attempt to slow down the inside rust on a frame. Has anyone had good results doing this?

Is a bit big for our roads,especially as I live in the sticks down a dirt road.Yes it runs a Paxton 625bhp so it’s a blast to drive.
