Cars are great and all, but what about us truck guys? post your truck! 2001 Dodge Dakota, 3 inch body lift with 33's and black rims, windows are tinted. 4.7 liter v8. [img]http://i60.tinypic.com/13zo2hd.jpg[/img]
The best truck by far, my all time favorite truck ever: [img]http://i41.servimg.com/u/f41/16/21/27/56/24862_10.jpg[/img] Scania R Longline Obviously not mine, but it's a truck, and I love it :v:

Old picture of my truck, but still more or less looks the same. [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/2011-12-2761147.jpg[/t] Really old picture, I think I'd bought it that week actually, this is it's bad side though. No rust or anything but it looks like crap. Dat late 80's GM paint+some bondo [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/2011-11-21161753.jpg[/t] When I bought it, the bed was full of Roofing tar. That was a fun little project. [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/CameraFun-1852515242.jpg[/t] The last time in snowed, I think in december. [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/IMG_20131206_154613_zps815ffe6c.jpg[/t] Last thursday, went for a drive to go pick up my paycheck. [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/IMG_20140206_143436_zps9o2nbefe.jpg[/t] [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/IMG_20140213_124457_zpsu2bo4qva.JPG[/t] Only took me 4 hours to get here with all the ridiculous traffic. [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/IMG_20140206_145213_zpstkuyfha2.jpg[/t] Then another 2 hours to get back into town. Almost rear ended another red jeep like that one up there when we both hit a patch of ice at a stop light. I stopped probably 4 inches from his bumper. :v: Then Last Sunday I pulled into the parking lot at work got out and heard a hissing sound. Thought it was coming from the tire, so I rolled my truck back a little bit, and found a fucking link of chain lodged in the tire. Didn't get a picture of it though [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/IMG_20140209_171313_zpsv3jhya81.jpg[/t] Had to go out on my lunch break and put this under the bed spare that came with the truck. I've never even looked at it before now. :P [t]http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m598/Awike1991/IMG_20140209_173800_zpspit05lgn.jpg[/t] It's a 1988 K1500 Silverado with a TBI 350, suspension is stock, I've replaced the rusted out stock muffler with a Magnaflow and a new high flow cat, and bought a K&N filter because why not. I also upgraded the single wire O2 sensor to a 3 wire. Other than that, she's stock and runs strong for it's age and mileage. I had the transmission rebuilt last year, but it's still not quite perfect.
[IMG]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2sELU6syQZE/UXtBZoe1xlI/AAAAAAAAA-s/NqMatrA6ba4/s1600/Blazer+WIP.png[/IMG] I drive a smaller, cuter truck! 2000 Chevy Blazer. That pic is a year old, but I don't have any newer pics. I'll have to get some.
Oh I also had a larger neck between my filter and TBI, since the stock one is really narrow, but with the larger bowl I couldn't flip the lid on my filter so I put the stock neck back in. :v: Doesn't do anything but sound cool. I'll take a picture of it sometime. The larger bowl wouldn't do much of anything anyways unless I cut my filter housing to fit the larger opening.
I had a grand cherokee that was like that, I replaced everything twice lol, i jumped it off a dirt hill and broke everything in the front end

can I have 3?
I saw a motherfucking unimog today, which is kind of awesome since merica'
I don't like unimogs at all
My dad drove Ahnold Shwartzeneger's Unimog once. He was working on the T2 ride at Universal studios and suddenly Arnold turned to him and said "DO YOU WANT TO DRIVE MY UNIMOG?" And Dad said "sure."
New unimogs aren't fun to drive, plus they break down surprisingly easily in offroad use
[IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s4yE4FOC01M/Uv6nF1xSobI/AAAAAAAABRI/gFwluBFUNKc/s1600/photo%2810%29.JPG[/IMG] Was out doing stuff today, thought I'd snap a more recent pic of my little truck. That's the good side, the bad side I don't quite feel like showing today.

[QUOTE=opaali;43914817]New unimogs aren't fun to drive, plus they break down surprisingly easily in offroad use[/QUOTE] I saw one like this. but just a flatbed not a dumper [t]http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2013/07/Unimog_700.jpg[/t]
Another thing I hate in merc trucks are the 9001m diameter steering wheels, and the the brakes. If you even think about the brake pedal you're already skidding off the road with your locked brakes because the ABS is obviously broken

I've been in an 83 G-Wagon and it had a surprisingly good turning radius, much better than the new G-Wagon.
g wagon is a car, unimog is a truck
any firefighters in this damn forum? [img]http://capecodfd.com/Pics%20Appar/Pic%20DE%20E111%20new%20100512-5529.jpg[/img] not ours, but it's a dash rescue pumper like we have. love the fucking grills cause merica
Best thing I've driven offroad really has been the SA-240. The torque converter 8-slot manual box just works really well. Though the SA-150 is way better going offroad but lazyness makes me prefer the SA-240
[QUOTE=opaali;43916090]g wagon is a car, unimog is a truck[/QUOTE] I'd have to disagree on that one. Over here in the US at least it classes as a light truck, with its height, body-on-frame construction, and four-wheel-drive. You'd have more of a case if it was a crossover, but it's not.
In the US everything is a truck
He was talking about the unimog though, the american equivalent is a Deuce

[url]http://translate.google.fi/#fi/en/kuorma-auto%0Arekka%0Atrukki%0Alava-auto[/url] here's 4 different types of transport and all of them are trucks in US while they have NOTHING to do with each other
I mean, sure, we have lots of trucks here but not everything is.
you have some trucks, but you call everything trucks
Negatory. We have trucks, crossovers, wagons, and many more, and I don't see anyone calling sedans or wagons 'trucks'.
