R&L, I've had an '06 Tiger CX on a standard cab Chevy since new. Still lovin' it. I've had a few issues, all pretty small. It's fun and rewarding. If it got totaled, I'd be looking for another. Of course, mine is from 'way before the recent biggish price jump.
'strat, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Looks like you're well on the way to getting your dream rig, and I know it's been a while coming! Color me jealous, but a little less so only because I've had mine for almost 8 years now... ;) I'm looking forward to a full set of photos and a first user report.
Jim, "Keep clam and proofread."
