Right? Seems really well taken care of. Clean car check. 2 previous owners. 1 for 19 years, 1 for 1 year. Looks clean, stock, etc. Would be a great temptation to buy if I was ready and willing to buy right now. 8.1, allison, low mileage for year, etc.

I have owned 2 silverados from that time. I know what I would be getting into.

definitely need to rent something next weekend. Getting a shit ton more equipment than originally planned. Just trying to figure out what to rent.
Picking up 270 lbs of weights, 6 bars (3 deadlift, squat, transformer, kaddilac) at 45-65 lbs each, shoulderok, potentially a cheap bench rack, some rubber flooring, and they are going to go through their storage trailer monday and let me know if there is anything else they are willing to let me have/buy for cheap.
Looking at probably around 800+ lbs of stuff minimum right now. Outback has a 1130 lbs payload capacity. Add in my fat ass and we will be over that so need to either tow a trailer or rent something. Not sure what to do yet, but also don't want to run out of time and not be able to find something.

Could get a trailer for between 50-100, but they are only 8 ft long. The mats I am getting are 8 ft long. So would be a tight fit. The van is 9 ft inside.

Man, just imagine if you opened up a Beanie Baby chain store. That would be a lot less lifting. You honestly picked the heaviest crap to lift.

I know it doesn't make sense but I can't stop thinking about that truck.
It is the same color red that I will be using as my gym colors. Doing a dark gunmetal like gray along with a deep burgundy/red color on my custom made equipment.

Have you checked with Home Depot? Their truck rentals are really reasonable.
That Silverado does look really nice though.
