Cathy found this truck for me in Grande Prairie back in 99, when I first started automation consulting. I leased it for three years then bought it out through my company (eazy peazy). I put ~450,00 klicks on this unit then sold it over night for $4500.00 to a nice family that drove in from Fort McMurray. I think he was going to mod it big time? It was a perfect truck to "slam", etc.
It was a highway commuter; I commuted from G.P. to Fort Murray for one year then the second year from St. Albert. Then I commuted to Calgary for another year....and so on. I wracked up 80,000 klicks in one year! The only mods were a Roll-N-Lock (froze every time it was cloudy, made in Florida....should have known better ) box cover and a full set of Pia driving lights. I needed a full set of lights (all six ON the same time...) because I was driving at night a lot. Yeah, everyone hated my lights. Now I know better.
One story; I left home in the afternoon and was on a secondary highway between Valleyview and High Prairie, (near Sunset House....if you know the road) as usual. There was about two inches of fresh snow. It was just dark out and I could see someone ahead of me and their tire tracks were alternating smoothly from shoulder to shoulder! They were having a hard time staying in the right lane! I was smoking along and caught up to the wandering culprit; an ambulance, with its flashing lights ON doing about 70 k/hr.! I cautiously passed the EMT's, put the hammer down and laid a straight set of fresh tracks for them to follow to High Prairie.
I should have keep this one to modify myself.
