The story

Bought in fall of 2000 to tow my dirtbike, and then converted it to an off road beater Memorial Day weekend 2003. Had a cool camouflage paint job when I bought it, and I had to go and repaint it with 19 cans of Rustoleum sunburst yellow. Hence the name Big Bird. Should have left it camo. — Danny Kelly
