Wow! What great coverage and pictures of the meet. I was really planning on going until a few days before the meet I found out I had a dentist appointment on Saturday at 10 AM. I would have driven down there in the Trooper (which believe it or not is just about as identical to Vendpro's Trooper except for the early style front end and my driver's side door is a different color). Unfortunately I had the transmission blow out on the Trooper last week on Monday and it turns out if I would have went to the meet it probably would have blown on the way back home on the 200-300 mile return trip. Wouldn't have been good if I was still very far from home. Nonetheless I told Jerry I really hated that I couldn't come just because I was hoping to meet him and talk to a diehard Isuzu technician. A lot of the trucks look great and 86TurboP'up you do have a truck better then showroom condition I have to say! Turbo diesel and dual tail pipes that is sweet! I'm promising myself to go to the next meet no matter where it is except if it's on the west coast (because I'd like to drive to the meet of course). Oh, and I'd like to buy two of the PUP t-shirts one for my dad and I. I really enjoyed looking at all the pictures and I bet it was a blast. Nothing like an Isuzu only truck show, can't beat that.

I wish you could have been there too. Looking back, we should have planned an entire day. The rain came too, so our time outside was limited, but memorable! I still have LG, XL, XXXL shirts left. PM me for details, K? 86TurboPup's truck was truly amazing to see...and hear! What a terrific group of guys!! We'll have plan another meet before then end of the year perhaps.

Come On Salvy....... A nice long road trip in an Isuzu and you never know, you might score a nice rust free cab for your Pup project! Just a thought! :wink:

Hey Mark, I guess I won't totally rule it out as far as coming out there to the west coast if a meet were to arise out that way. And I gotta agree getting a rust-free cab would be a big +! I guess that would mean I'd have to haul along a trailer too, haha. And Andy I will send you a PM about the PUP t-shirts. Thanks.
