Upgraded K3 vs K4

[Bob DeHaney]

I have upgraded my K3 with all possible K3S upgrades and in my urban environment it couldn’t get much better.  The K4 looks like a beautiful rig and I could afford it…but, I will be 80 in January so I consider how much use I could get out of a K4..:-(   If I see a barebones K3S at a good price though, hummm.

 

Or as my dentist said after installing a permanent bridge: “That’ll hold 10 years so we’re on the safe side…”

I would buy a new K4 and find a new dentist.

I am 81 yrs old and am in the process of putting up a new TX455 US Tower. Within the past 2 years have bought a K3S, KPA500, P3, and KAT500.

I also have never seen a Brink's truck following a hearse. You worked for it so enjoy it.

Zackly!  As I told myself when buying myself a KPA-1500 for Christmas
(I'm 78 and a widower), I'm spending my kids' inheritance, which they
don't need anyhow.
