Yup, I confess to being a lurker too.
I like Peetys 18 speed, but if I'm going to have that many gears it's gotta be a standard.
I got my cdl to haul corn during harvest for a friend a few years back.
Family members have driven trucks for years, and I don't like people telling me i couldn't do something because I had no license. So I got one.
After I win the lotto:
I hope to build my trailer similar to a moving van trailer to allow for stacking car parking system with lots of slides. and plan to pull it with my Pete 359 with the turboed 12-71 jimmy.
Maybe a two stick tranny instead of the 18 speed.
