A "MUST HAVE" for every owner

Every SSR owner needs to have one of these books. It's not only filled with the heritage and creation of our trucks, it has a boatload of great photographs. So many new members are now asking questions about how and why something was done...... This has LOTS of answers in the 175 pages. This is the definitive book on the creation of our trucks. A "must read" for every owner and a great coffe table book to boot.

Prices are dropping on the book and I suspect it will get harder to find as time goes by. Go get one!!!! NOW! The two links have them for less than $30.

If you have any doubts, go to Amazon and browse the pages of the book. You won't be disappointed

http://www.amazon.com/SSR-American-O.../dp/0971146861

http://www.booksamillion.com/ncom/bo...6861&ad=FGLBKS

Hope ya'll don't mind me being pushy...... I believe in this one......


Regards from the Desert,

Mike

Amazon in Canada now has 6 left, total including shipping is $38 CDN, mine is on the way. And I was thinking there was nothing left for me to buy . I was actually worried I might go a day without buying something.

Great Book!

Mike:

Yes, it is a great book, and the perfect "coffee table book". I got mine over a year ago, and I actually bought a second one that I plan to keep as a spare.

Highly recommended and required reading for the true SSR Fanatic!

Thanks for the tip Mike. Just ordered the book. Looks like we will get to do at least part of Kingsburg, and plan to meet up with the group at Ragged Point. It will be good to finally meet up with you, after only phone and email connections so far. I'm not sure if I should bring my SSR or borrow my mothers Honda Accord to save on gas.

Back away from my raffle bucket and no one will be harmed

Mike, you told me about that book on March 16th last year. I still haven't got around to gettin' it. I have been thinking about it recently though, so if I don't win it in Kingsburg then I guess I'll cough up the $38

LOL @ The Saint

FEAR NOT . . . there will always be something more to buy!

and, ABSOLUTELY, MikeInAZ . . . ONE EXCELLENT BOOK!

Has anyone seen a "later edition" adding information about the '05s and '06s plus some final production photos?


That would definitely be a . . . MUST HAVE!

I had the first SSR out of this dealership in Dec of 03. In Feb of 04 the salesman called me and told me to come by for a gift. I thought it would be a keychain or a coffee mug with the dealer's advertising on it. It was the book. I sold it on Ebay for $600.....Just kidding, it's displayed in my office alongside the signed poster. Remember that one? 500 signed posters but many were damaged. They stopped selling it. Who knows how many of those exist?
