I guess I am the only one that ever had an unconscious bee laying on my "danger zone" while driving with the wing vent open? The wreck factor was high while Im trying to brush him off while flying down the road.

That would be my cousin. 06 huge Dodge 8 ft bed extended cab diesel. He doesnt haul but some fishing rods and beer. I hauled more in my outback than he ever did in his truck and I always thought of it as a "look at me" truck. Lift kit, big tires, smoke pluming down the road etc.

Had wasp and yellow jacket come in one and sting me driving hwy speed twice and had something smack it hard enough to half close the wing vent and flip into the open window and hit me in the side of the head pretty solid when driving at night. got to work and had a few light scratches. Figured a big bug. The next morning there was a dead bat laying between the seat and door when I opened it leaving work.

Nearly every pickup you see with aftermarket wheels and tires dont see a day of gravel, let alone “off road”. All for show.

A 2025 Duramax with a LB7, positive 12PSI fuel pump, caterpillar fuel filter system < 2micron.filter, oil filter vertical, no power windows , locks…. Crew cab with 8’+ bed. Completely salt proof for Wisconsin, Allison tranny built to Allison’s specs - not GM , upgraded transfer case , corrected sized control arms with up-sized ball joints, upgraded CV axels, eliminated rear electrical distribution block above the rear bumper, stainless steel break and fuel lines, and improved seals in the rear axel.

Additional wants - more room in engine compartment, easy access to power blocks /fuses for added accessories, eliminating all the crap EPA bs and go back to pre-2007 diesel fuel


The only thing worse than losing........Is QUITTING!

A factory trap door in the bed to access the fuel pump without taking the bed off would be a nice feature

My dog enjoyed bench seats so he could ride with his head in my lap.

The last 4 years driving 127 miles to work and home old bench seat has really made me appreciate bucket seats
Before that was typically hour drives or less and they never bothered me. Could be the young and stupid stuff catching up with me having something to do with it also .

I think all this started a few years ago when women started driving trucks, it was abig fad for them, so the companies started to make trucks for their market. Now the bigfad i all the women want to drive a jeep,so we will see what will happen. I ordered my 2014 the way I wanted it, regular cab 8 foot bed and I think yoou can still order what you want to a limit.
