newsworthy items
Since getting the truck, I've kept a record of what modifications I've
made to it and when I did them, just to maintain a sort of timeline of its history. Also
listed below are any interesting events or trips that involved the truck, such as club outtings and
off-road excursions. Amazing how time flies sometimes, isn't it?
