How/where did you find a truck like that? Awesome

Nice! I wish I at least got to take leave this year, command has been super busy and all that.

I found it for 7k on this lil thing called Craigslist lol. Found it down in SoCal with a Cali plate already on it. Just had to get it in my name and luckily had no hassle.

Quickly turned into a daily when it originally was meant to be a backup car.

Video before the mods. Since purchase, I've slept in the cab, cross country drove, and more.

That sucks ... I did my first four in the fleet, did a shore command and went brown water from then on. The nice thing about the expeditionary world is that, even with a constant deployment schedule, they still won't interfere with leave so long as you aren't actively in pre-deployment training, or deployed..

I picked up both my Miata and the POS cold-weather daily driver on CL. It is DEFINITELY hit or miss buying cars from there though...
