LOL\nI have owned this Beast for about 4 years and it has never given me any problems. It always starts, no leaks, and it has a battery tender built-in. \nThis is the first LP gas vehicle I have ever experienced and I must say I am quite pleased. \nOriginally this was a well maintained fleet vehicle that has always run on LP gas.\nFuel is readily accessible at all U-Hauls, Menards, and and other gas stations. \nI have driven this vehicle a total of about a 800 miles since my ownership. The prior owner took this vehicle on a long trip and said that he got around 450-500 miles per tank (please disregard my statement of a range of 250 miles per tank in my video). This vehicle handles very well, and I have taken it up to 75 mph pretty effortlessly on the highway, and it is a blast to drive. \nSince it runs on LP gas you will be amazed as how clean the oil stays. When I changed the oil with 1,500 miles on it, it honestly looked like it was new. You can run your finger in the exhaust pipe and it comes out clean.\nI was told that the engine was built and cammed (I do not have any documentation). I would definitely own another LP conversion car in the future. \nRegarding the interior, it is as new since it was built about 9 years ago with a few thousand miles put on it since. The newer seats are air ride adjustable, updated center console, carpets are as new, 2 years ago I installed a new headliner, and it also has a high-end stereo system with a amp and subwoofers. \nRegarding the exterior, the wrap has held up quite well (some edges have lifted slightly). \nThe tires have plenty of tread and they are wrapped on a 22.5 Alcoa wheel that has been powder coated (I have never added air to the tires since the four years I've owned it). \nThis is reliable, turnkey truck and it is ready to go anywhere.\n\nPlease feel free to hit the \"contact seller\" button if you have detailed questions regarding this Beast. \nThank you, and please stay safe and healthy!!!!!!!! ??????????????", "likes": 14, "timestamp": 1585168415, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 4288217, "authorName": "krb9955", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/krb9955/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Like a full size Tonka truck.

One job was as a shade tree mechanic and general roustabout for a local LP gas company in then rural Orange County, Florida. The company had a fleet of approximately 25 vehicles. I was tasked with general maintenance and some light mechanic work to keep them going. All vehicles but one ran on straight LP gas. Vehicle #1 was a 1960 Ford pick-up truck used as the original maintenance vehicle when the company was founded. When I showed up in 1980 that truck had over 500K miles on it and it ran like a top. LP gas is indeed very clean burning, burns at a lower temperature than gasoline, and I was told has about a 125 octane rating. Engine oil was remarkably clean when changed. The few times a head was removed to fix a valve or head gasket, the combustion chambers were remarkably carbon free. One vehicle in particular did not run on pure LP, the Peterbilt semi that hauled the LP tank-trailer for large delivery jobs. Even that truck ran in a mixture of diesel and LP. Much cleaner burning, better highway mileage, too.\r\nThe owner, Bobby, even had the air conditioning compressors at the office and his home running on LP instead of electric motors.

LOL\r\nI have owned this Beast for about 4 years and it has never given me any problems. It always starts, no leaks, and it has a battery tender built-in.\r\nThis is the first LP gas vehicle I have ever experienced and I must say I am quite pleased.\r\nOriginally this was a well maintained fleet vehicle that has always run on LP gas.\r\nFuel is readily accessible at all U-Hauls, Menards, and and other gas stations.\r\nI have driven this vehicle a total of about a 800 miles since my ownership. The prior owner took this vehicle on a long trip and said that he got around 450-500 miles per tank (please disregard my statement of a range of 250 miles per tank in my video). This vehicle handles very well, and I have taken it up to 75 mph pretty effortlessly on the highway, and it is a blast to drive.\r\nSince it runs on LP gas you will be amazed as how clean the oil stays. When I changed the oil with 1,500 miles on it, it honestly looked like it was new. You can run your finger in the exhaust pipe and it comes out clean.\r\nI was told that the engine was built and cammed (I do not have any documentation). I would definitely own another LP conversion car in the future.\r\nRegarding the interior, it is as new since it was built about 9 years ago with a few thousand miles put on it since. The newer seats are air ride adjustable, updated center console, carpets are as new, 2 years ago I installed a new headliner, and it also has a high-end stereo system with a amp and subwoofers.\r\nRegarding the exterior, the wrap has held up quite well (some edges have lifted slightly).\r\nThe tires have plenty of tread and they are wrapped on a 22.5 Alcoa wheel that has been powder coated (I have never added air to the tires since the four years I\u2019ve owned it).\r\nThis is reliable, turnkey truck and it is ready to go anywhere.\r\n\r\nPlease feel free to hit the \u201ccontact seller\u201d button if you have detailed questions regarding this Beast.\r\nThank you, and please stay safe and healthy!!!!!!!! ??????????????\r\n\r\n 14", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1585768580, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 4315535, "authorName": "Sethb (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/sethb/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "I am going to roll the dice and remove the reserve!!!\r\nThanks", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1585768616, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 4315584, "authorName": "Sethb (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/sethb/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "The RESERVE is OFF!! \r\nBid to win!! \r\nThanks!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????", "likes": 5, "timestamp": 1585768804, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 4315681, "authorName": "SteveTheodore", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/stevetheodore/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Bravo @Sethb, may you be rewarded for that act!", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1585769208, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 4315730, "authorName": "Sethb (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/sethb/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Thanks @ stevetheodore !!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1585769414, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 4315744, "authorName": "Sethb (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/sethb/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Over 30k in building this and that does not include the price of the truck.
