Wow, sure is...Copperhead or? I bunny hop rattlesnakes all the time on my mountain bike and couple times on my road bike out here in California they are everywhere. They don't bother me, I leave them be and they help keep the rats and mice in check.

Oh yeah, truck looks good with bumpers and sliders moved in.
