I should be hauling my rig up on a trailer this year, but I haven't found the right Dodge truck as of yet.

that's because there's no such thing as a right Dodge truck

Please at least tell me you are a Ford guy. Everything Chevrolet is an abomination.

new trucks, yes, ford. I will never support Government Motors again. but old chevy's are hard to beat (before they were metric). i have 286k miles on my van and it doesnt burn a drop of oil.

As far as brand new ones, i don't really know, i'm a bit out of the loop. for personal reasons it wouldnt be gm or mopar so that only really leaves ford. i will not buy jap for personal reasons as well. For older stuff, GM for fullsize, ranger for compact.

I'd build an 04 or so cummins with a built trans from inglewood transmission and drive it till the world ends.

Re: Socalfest 2012

Ha ha, the shaggin wagon!

i got the fender flares, wing, sun visor, etc to make an a-team van replica. i just need to find a place big enough to spray it. a tri color paint job is going to be $$$$ so i was hoping to do it myself.
It's set up inside with a 19" flat screen, futon mattress on a custom steel frame, inverter and aux batteries, sound system, new captain's chairs, and it has duraliner plastic molded wall pannels, and is fully insulated. works out great, if i pull the futon matress out, i can haul a ton of shit inside without worrying about messing up the interior, but it still works pretty bitchin for camping and whatnot. i also built a 700r4 for it with heat treated sun shell, extra steels and frictions, beefier sprag, corvette servo, better bands, shift kit, etc.
It's the best 1k i ever spent, i dont think i'll ever get rid of this thing. I just make sure i park it around the block when i have women over

Somebody is building therm wrong then.

Mine is just fine for the last 30k with 400hp in front of it, some drag racing, boosted launches, and towed me and my 18k to moab and back without a hick-up.

Still a bit of money, but you could do an adhesive vinyl body wrap. Cheaper than a nice paint job.
