That is a really nice looking dog there Big River. My Grandpa had a Rhodesian Ridgeback before he died, she was a really awesome dog. Not the smartest, but she was loyal as hell until the end. Great family dog.
Thanks.......he's the second Ridgeback we've owned.

Hey Towrig

I haven' decided on lifting and big boots... i figured I want to see the truck in person before doing any other alterations - I mean I never even test driven before I bought.

Talk about a leap of faith.

Hey Bigriver

Nice dog! great to see the breed is still out there. There are definately more Ridgebacks outside Zimbabwe than in. Big heart on those dogs - they also used to be called the African Lion Hound - because of their ability to harass a hunted lion...

Thanks for your kind comments - dunno if I'm a dedicated dodge fan - dodge certainly doesn't want me! In fact they take the dealership away from any dealership that sells to a foreigner. The truck when all done and delivered will cost close to 100k.

Not sure if that is dedicated or stupid!

Thats it? Come on, whats another $11,245 for the Kore Unlimited, and another $2,000 for wheels and tires?

Hey Folks

Thought you'd like these. Pics taken with the truck ready to be shipped. Should receive her in August sometime.

Into a possible war zone. Country on tenterhooks. Silent and dangerous.

Zimbabwe is entering a new phase, and it's desperate.

Enjoy the pics.

Note the air horn.

The rust you can see is surface stuff. New Zealand is a wet place and the guys over there said better to clean up and spray over in my dry climate.. it sat on a lot through half a winter...
