If you use it for shuttling the "practically new condition" wont last long.
But what do I care, let me know when you want to break it in!!!!

Hey Mike awesome buy!
I use and abuse my 95 Ranger STX for shuttling almost every weekend. My friend Tony (radarr) owns the property adjacent to the Beacon course by the BPA power lines and we go shuttle up there when we are all over at wazzu. Mines also the midnight blue!! along with both of our mustangs. maybe we should start up a thread to post pics of all of the monkies shuttle trucks eh?

sounds good, I just picked up a shuttle truck today, I am going to change the wheels and put a hitch on the back so I can haul more bikes. Someone has to start with the pics so here goes.

cool now you get to have all your so called pals call you up and say "Hey man i got "a little" yard waste i gotta take to the dump can you help me out", or "Hey man my cousins sister's brother's nephew needs help moving, it's only gonna be a "few things", "y'know i work at a bike shop and i did you all those favors (not really) you owe me, take me to Whistler".
Trade it in for a car as soon as you can.....

Here's my "yard waste" hauler. Its a 1996 T-100 with a 4" Pro Comp lift and 33" X terrain tires. Shuttling only beats on your rig if you practice high speed drifting on the fire roads, or by trying to go around gates. :D BTW Mike nice truck.
