Since I promised not to muck up the Demon thread any more with trucks 
I'll just share this here.
I mean -- if ya really want a macho pick-up truck... I say... go for it.
The full Monty.
It's a good thing that I don't really have any money.

As much as I love lowered and modded Japanese sports cars, I have a certain desire to own a vehicle like this as well.
Saw this one a while back and liked it:
-
I remember the evening after the "Patriot Day" bombing at the Boston Marathon seeing fleets of things that looked like that rolling in towards town on Route 2 as I was headin' home from work in Lexington.
(note, I realized I had initially written this bass-ackwards, so it's been edited)
-
I saw a review on this and thought it was pretty cool.
-
well, that 3-pointed star on the grille suggests to me that one would be a tad pricey
-
Yes more than my pocket can afford.
-
Not big, nor bad, but my favorite pickup is the 1958 Chevy. Although, I'm not really a truck guy. I'm more into exotics and musclecars.
Look at this beauty.

I remember that day all to familiar because I was in Cambridge the day of, and the day after. Many vehicles that had that Urban Assault look barreling down highways/back roads.Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -

That is some serious class... Why can't the make them look like that anymore!?! -
I couldn't agree more. The late 50's and early 60's were, to me, the pinnacle of American automobile styling. Just like the music coming out of England in the late 60's and early 70's was the pinnacle of the rock and roll era.That is some serious class... Why can't the make them look like that anymore!?! -
A 1955 Cameo Fleetside would be my dream truck...The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

That riot control rig looks a lot like the Marauder (sp?) from South Africa if I remember right. Richard did a review of one on BBC Top Gear a few years ago. AK-47's and all included. Made a Hummer look like a bloody booger.
-
Hmmm, how many things about that truck are illegal in the state of Pennsyltucky? (Or at least won't pass safety inspection)
-
I hate to tell you guys, you're all wrong. Toyota makes the best mass produced trucks.

My dream truck...highly customized Ford F650...yep...I'm a Ford fan...go figure.
Gotta show that one to my son-in-law!
We are looking for something to two his Kubota. That could probably do it
-
I do like my Toyota pickup. Nimble, maneuverable, simple and rugged.
First choice of guerrillas the world around!

Yep, you need a dependable truck to carry out mass murder and genocide. Especially important when escaping the scene of such crimes.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -

Would love to see your underside.............not you, the truck!
That puppy predates the junk they produce now-a-days.Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
It has a brand-new frame (well, like 5 or 6 years old) -- Toyata had a little frame... issue, which they dealt with rather quietly but effectively.
Our son-in-law's old-ish Tundra likewise sits on a new frame.
It is an almost embarrassingly simple vehicle is the Taco. Not much to go wrong with it, besides rust (and mortar fire, of course).
I did have to replace the original wheels last year -- they had rotted away and two of 'em were leaking air.
-
I'm a FORD fan myself. Not big and bad but just reliable is important to me.
40 years ago or so...guys I knew wanted a Dodge Power Wagon 4WD. One guy had one and would love it when it snowed ( this was in Va. back then ) . He would go out and pull people out of ditches for 50.00. He made some drinking and smoking money all the time.
This what my friends looked like.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Mine's not super fancy, but it gets the job done. 800 ft lbs of torque, stock - and that was before I deleted the emissions crap and put a full exhaust and tune on it. 4wd and the stock locking rear differential helps move her heavy butt around in less than ideal traction situations.

If you can't ram it, stroke it?

I think it's I'd rather be (Cummings diesel engine) than (Power Stroke diesel engine).afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.
