    None. Bone Stock. EXCEPT: Brushguard, tow hitch, both welded to the frame. It's good to have friends and a fully equipped garage!
    Reminds me of an incident we had in Panama while I was down there working on a deep-sea fishing boat. Charter service for tourists.

    A pair of Army guys (back then, the US owned the Canal, and the Army Corps of Engineers ran it) rented a small boat to go fishing on. They putted out a ways from the Balboa Yacht Club and threw in their lines. They were SO excited that the first thing they pulled in was a shark, that was nearly as long as their little boat. Being Army, one had brought a 12 Ga. shotgun along. Why, I will never know, but he decided the only way to keep the shark from biting them as it thrashed around was to blast it's head off. He aimed, it thrashed, he missed, and blew a huge hole in their boat. Now they had a really upset shark, and a boat going down fast. A commercial cargo ship was going through the Canal just then, and the Pilot called it in. The Army sent out a rescue boat and saved them, thankfully.
    From what I heard, not only did they face the cost f the boat, motor, shotgun, and etc, but the Army charged them with attempted destruction of Government Property, ie: themselves.

    I wonder if any of those three in Galveston had a shotgun?

    Have fun, all!
