OWNERS COMMENT: "This truck started as work horse for a family business. I had 38" swampers on it , mud bogged it, and trail ran it for 75,000 miles before it was retired. I started to build a monster truck to compete against Bigfoot, or so I thought. After breaking my arm, twisting my ankles several times, and numerous scars and scrapes I ended up with ... my dream truck!"

To Sarah Elizabeth Hilding If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose... your heart. Face it friend, He is crazy about you! God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
