# 8 fuel plate
4 inch exaust from turbo back
afe air intake

My TP holder



98 2500 CTD extended cab shortbed
4" cat back exhaust
van aken chip
AFE air intake
limited slip rear
2" leveler kit
35" mudders
fresh rebuitl tranny w/triple disc converter(wow what a difference)

My gas guzzler. soon going to 37s or 38s

my little 1/2 ton gets it done

Ain't a diesel but it works...

Was gonna get an 08 Dodge w/ Cummins but for mine and my wife's needs, the Armada seemed a little more appropriate. Has a "Tow Mode" and rear 'auto-leveling' suspension when loaded down. About 14.5 mpg when towing the load pictured below...



If I could afford a designated "tow rig" and a daily driver along with a trailer and my wheelin' rig, I'd probably get the Dodge (thing hauls ass and seemed to ride decent as well).

Note: U-haul trailer because I don't have room for a trailer at my house and I can drive my Jeep to the local trails (mainly Reiter)

Terry

My latest addition to my collection.



Hauls a fifth wheel nicely (I see LPG in it's near future if I keep it!)

Most recent with the junk in tow;

6.0 gasser truck. Wanted a Dmax but this will do for now.

lol.. last weekend, im guessing close to 12k with camo's trailor....

Just picked this up last weekend for $200. 68 3/4 ton, 292 straight 6 rebuilt about 5k ago, sm465, eaton rear sitting on 4 coil springs. Its getting power discs, power steering and air bagged but I'm still thinking about putting the 454 I'm picking up in a couple weeks into it......

Right on Ryan, I always thought you were due for a towrig of some sort. You should put propane on that pig to save some fuel $$.

I dont know, call me kind of backword thinking and all, but I thought tow rigs were to tow the trailer, not ride on them....:scratchhead:



:haha: :haha:

Heres my tow rig...03 Dodge 2500 5.9 cummins (oh baby!!) Auto, 6in lift, 37x13.50x18 Mickey Thompson MTZ with Classic Lock wheels. Pretty much stock other than AFE stage 2 intake. It was a old grandpa stock truck when I got it. I tinted the windows, line-x the bed, toolbox and straight piped it also.

I love it! I used to tow with a 2000 tundra 4.7 v8 :booo: ...Yeah lets just not talk about that. Ill post some pics later with the whole package...dodge, camper,trailer, wheeler, quad...ya know the camping set up!!

alright I know I've seen that truck around.. And being that you're in Buckley, that's gotta be the one.

Yeah theres a good chance you've seen it I dont drive it much tho...just rolled 58,000miles! Diesel being so spendy, my little 2wd toyota pick up is my best friend!!

1990 Ford F-350 4x4 5-speed. has the 7.3 diesel (non turbo) with an ATS aftermarket turbo kit on it. sittin on 35's but is getting 38's soon. hefty ass flatbed. weighed it down at everett steel and it is 6540lbs... heavy... now i just need a trailer. planning on changing out the fuel metering valve so it will blow even more black smoke and putting either 4" or 5" straight pipe or stacks on it.

1980 GMC K35 4X4 - 454BBC - TH400 - NP208 - 4.56 gears - 33" Maxxis tires
