David, I’m out of Chicago, but I am actually selling my 94 Land Cruiser. I have a bunch of Gambler 500 friends up in the Detroit area, so I’d even be willing to drive it up to you if you’re interested.

Don’t use other people’s stuff without permission. 

Renting the truck from U-Haul would be a big mistake. That’s how the FBI tracked Timothy McVeigh down so quickly. Once the found the VIN from the what was left of the truck, they found out where it was rented from and obtained the information they needed from the store.

I must have taken a lot of guys and lots of expensive tools to pull this out. All this for $120K that is probably more like $50K in value on the black market. Least profitable heist ever.

Said the guy who’s never done it with a heavy duty transmission

It really isn’t that simple. I tried learning how to double clutch. Couldn’t do it. Now when I shift it’s all without the clutch. There are no similarities between a car and semi transmission when it comes to shifting.
