I call my 818 "Fluffy", not sure why, but it kind of stuck. My M1009 is called the "Green Bomber"

Got my 818 to run on it's own without having to gas it with ether. Only bought the truck a month ago, but haven't had much time to "really" work on it. Had a problem with the fuel pump not wanting to pick up fuel but that ran into a bunch of other small issues. The truck sat for I'm guessing...

Well it's been about a month since I bought my M818 and not much time to work on her after being delivered to my doorstep. It shocked the wife a little when I told her I bought a truck and she saw it when it was dropped off. Her text to me, "This thing is HUGE!" Only if I heard that more...
