I am always surprised at how much "stuff" gets packed away trip after trip adding to the total. If everything else looks good, then nothing will give you a better feel then taking it for a test drive. Not sure where it is located but hopefully you can find a long enough hill to give you an idea of power and to make sure the gears are not too far apart for decent hill climbing.
Sorry I wasn't clear,the question list was for the owner. Only want to have that discussion once If possible. Trucks in Va. so probably plenty of hills. :{)
As far as stuff!
Beer, Roll away tool box, Drag Radials, Slicks, Standard tires (needs to fit in the trailer, jacks, copmpresser, Beer, Generator, Beer, Various spares.
Did I mention Beer?
