[Shotimes] OT Trucks was Marauder

[Mark Kelley]

There's a guy where I work that has an F350 Dually (sp?) 4WD Powerstroke
with a very expensive Rancho lift kit on it.  I have never seen a spec of
mud on the underside of that truck.  After at least a year, all the Rancho
shocks and springs look like they just came out of the box.  Now I'm not
going to criticize how someone else spends their paycheck, but if it were
me, I wouldn't waste that kind of money on a truck and suspension that never
leaves the pavement.
