Just wanted to add my two cents that Dave really is that cool in person! I was at an event where showed up to, and he was surrounded by people offering advice to everyone that asked anything about their trucks. I didn’t want to geek out and do the whole fan thing but i got the chance to talk to him and he even complimented my little truck, super cool guy!
