    New SUV questions.

    It's hard for me to admit this but I rushed into buying the escalade without going it a proper looking over. We bought it the week before my wife's mom died from cancer so we were in a hurry to get a bigger family vehicle. It was a very stressful time in our life and I didn't do my due...

    New SUV questions.

    I looked at the touregs and there aren't any close to me that are near my budget. Tahoes are nice and basically what we have now but they are out of budget as well especially with awd. We are hoping to go drive an equinox this weekend. We really want to buy new or very close to it. I don't...

    New SUV questions.

    We want to buy either new or one year old still under factory warranty. Plus I'm planning on trading the escalade in on whatever we get. We love the size and with the hybrid it gets 18 mpg it's just expensive to fix if something goes bad.

    Flatbeds

    One of the rig welders I worked with this summer had a cm bed on his ford. It's been holding up really. He has a dually but bought a single wheel bed then custom made fenders for it that stick out to cover the duals. He mounted too boxes underneath then skirted the rest in. I love the way it looks.

    01 2 wheel drive

    What configuration? How many doors? Is it in good shape rust and dent wise? Interior clean? Base model or LS? I would scoop it probably without hesitation. Especially since you have the knowledge to fix it and have access to spare parts. Pics please!

    Truck painting project

    Can't wait to see the finished truck. That's about the color I would love to paint my truck. Are you thinking black or flat black for the stripes? I think that would look sweet.

    Must be a regional tire. Never heard of them. As long as they are at least d rated I don't see why you couldn't try them. How is the price?

    Trade ZF6 transmission for Allison

    I would be interested too but I'm in Illinois. This would be perfect timing too as my truck will be parked for the next two weeks.
