Nice camper. That would make for one heck of a weekend. I dont think I would ever be at home on the weekends if I owned something like that. Actually, I am never at home on the weekends anyway, too busy fishing...
Lots of nice and shiney new trucks. think mine is the oldest so far

My Christmas present to myself - 2004 GMC Yukon XL Denali. This thing is a towing machine with the 6.0L engine!!! The AutoRide suspension is way too kewl to mention - ZERO body lean in tight corners and no rear end squat with trailer hooked up.
Here is my old Truck that I built when I was in the Army..I did 90% of the work myself..Not what most of you would like but I was proud of it 1994 Ford Ranger XLT 5 speed tranny w/custom driveshaft 2.3L 4 cylinder with custom air intake, Headers, and custom Exhaust. All Tweed Interior black and grey Custom Stereo JDM I-Beams, radius arm relocation, C-Notched frame in front and back. 2 pump Hi-Jacker Hydraulics 10 switches 4 optima yellowtop deep cycle batteries shaved tailgate, taillights, door handles, emblems, roof seams, hoodlines, anteanaa, gas tank door, 3rd brake light industrial mirror tint (off of a commercial skyscraper) 18" Momo Extreme Rims with 235/40/18 Bf Goodrich tires

Heres our new truck. New of course is a relative term. Bought it from a fellow forum poster. 1955, all original down to the spare tire in the back and original title from 55. One owner truck been in the same town since bought new. Havent even gotten it home yet with all the rain we've been having. But, will be starting on it soon. Bought it for my dad. He's retiring this year.

Brand new truck. 2009 Ram 3500, 4x4, 6.7 Cummins. The truck is still bone stock, but that won't last long. Old boat (1972 23' Uniflite) but almost completely restored.

Man - there are a bunch of awesome trucks here (and boats, trailers, motorcycles, horses, etc...). Really awesome. Way over my head. How can we way we are in a recession or a poor economy when I see soo many outstanding vehicles. They put mine to shame. Awesome trucks.

Nice truck and you do have a 6 speed tranny but....
You do not have the Allison tranny. It only comes with the Duramax Diesel in 3/4 tons and 1 tons.
It used to also be behind the 8.1L gas but they don't offer that engine anymore.
BTW, on a side note. Word is that the new 2011 GM HD trucks with the improved Duramax/Allison and new chassis is kicking the new 6.7L Ford's a$$ in HD shootouts. Dodge is a distant 3rd.

This is my 1993 YJ that I bought from my uncle in 2009, he bought it new. It has been to Germany 3 times, Korea and Austrailia, along with 37 U.S states including Hawaii. It's remained unchanged except for new TJ flares and a set of 31 inch Super Swampers. It's never been stuck with me driving but I also know my limitations with out a winch. However, stock is boring and it will soon be going under the knife to make room for 35's.

Absolutely the cleanest 2002 Dodge Ram Q Cab you'll find anywhere! She's been a garage queen so the dash is still in perfect condition and she only has 63,000 miles on her. Everytime I think about getting a new one I just can't pull the trigger. Lest you think that's an old pic, nope! Took it this morning.
