Ok, I haven’t been very good at updating my website recently and I’m not going to make any promises about doing better.

2004 GMC Sierra 1500, automatic, V8, 4×4, topper, roof rack, tow hitch, low mileage.

For the rest of you, here are a few pictures of our new addition. (Oh, and if you can figure out the nickname reference then consider yourself to be down.)
