I won an auction on May 10th at Fort Custer in Michigan. After I submitted my paperwork they informed me I could not be as ugly as my photo. So I had to prove it with another color copy of my face. They accepted that I am that ugly and sent their condolences and sent it off to the TSC. 9 weeks later, Boom I'm the newest member of the club.
Thanks for all the info I've been able to use so far and for all the help in the future.

Update: Last week a real good friend of mine and I made the trip to Fort Custer to pick up the newest member of my motor pool. That adventure was nothing to brag about, drove over, got on to the base, truck started right up, loaded, secured, and off. Four hours later, a lunch at White Castle, and $87 in fuel, home sweet home.
This past weekend I got a chance to pressure wash about a yard and a half of Michigan sand out of it. Than changed the engine oil and filter, drained trans and transfer case and refilled. I still need to do the hubs and to replace the drive on the starter. Oh and add all those cool things we all like, you know the airlift bumper, LED lights, battery disconnect, new seats, a winch, paint job, Red Rider with a compass in the stock, wait wrong list.
My goal is to have everything maintance related dealt with by the time I get my title and plates, now I'm not fast, but I think I got this.
Anyway so far so good, with fingers crossed knocking on wood, I think I might of got a pretty solid truck. Thanks again for all the great info here.

Thanks for the welcome, Go B.U. Braves.
4 man? Hard to say, I like them all, wait except the ones with 22" wheels and low profile tires, don't like those.
Crazy? probably not.
