whay are u concerned with maitnance, anyone who ownes a big lifted truck should be capable of doing his own oil change and feul filter, its not hard. and let me warn you, if you get a diesel it will be bone stock for the same price as a gas truck with lift kit, tires, rims, exhaust, intake, and all kinds of extras for the same cost as a bone stock diesel, so if you want a big lifted diesel it will have to be alot older just to get you back in a resonable price range.

I know what you mean about a single cab truck. My first truck was a 1982 Ford F-150 with a 302 V8 that was a single cab and it got the job done but It was a tight squeeze having to drive to Arcadia a couple of times a month with 2 other people. Then I bought a 97 Chevy Silverado that I really have had an awesome time with and it is an extended cab with a few upgrades that I did to it. Now I have an 07 Dodge Ram Thunder Road Quad Cab which I really like. Just start off small and work your way up man.

The thunder roads are awesome.  I saw one that was lifted the other day (why I have no idea...2WD offroader?) and it looked sweet.  I'm now trying to see if theres anyway I can keep the SS/T as a project truck and just get a diesel DD.

lifted  2wd's are  big in the western part of the us  for  dun  running and blasting through the   desert.  my 07 dodge   has the  thunder road package as well and i love my truck  wish it  had the cummins but the hemi   gets the job done

I got a call from a friend about an hour ago, he has a buddy who wants to see the sst.  Might be gone, who knows

The SS/T sold today.

The operation didn't go so smooth either.  Guy came over today around 10, looked the truck over.  Wanted to take it for a test spin, so I said sure.  We both hop in the truck and go down the road.  After driving around some backroads, he pulls back onto my street and I say "c'mon give it some gas wussy" (I said something else that rhymed with wussy ) So he does and the next thing you know we both hear a clank clank clank.  I look out the passenger mirror just in time to see the right exhaust tip sliding across the pavement, then going off the road and into some sand.  We turn around and after 5mins of looking we find it.  It was all scrapped up, and im like wtf how did this fall off.  I look underneath and yeah the clamp is gone. 

So after all that is said and done we get back in the truck to go home.  Vroom... vrooom.  Why isnt the truck going?  We get out and what do ya know... we're stuck in sugar sand.  YAYYy!   So after about 15mins of trying to push it out I say screw it.  Called up my neighbor and he came with his truck and pulled us out.  The guy jokingly said I should drive home, maybe I will have better luck accomplishing this task. 

So not the in the best mood I stupidly hit the gas and smoke the tires while taking off.  Didn't notice the cop two streets above pulling out.  He flags me down.  He comes to the window with this pissed off look on his face.  I start telling him what just happened and how I didn't mean to please don't give me a ticket.  He just stays silent and I'm thinking crap I'm getting a ticket.  Next thing you know the cop starts laughing and tells us that he was at the corner the whole time.  He saw the tip fall off, watched us looking for it, and getting stuck.   So he just says go home and we wait for him to pull out from behind us, he pulls up next to the truck and im like WTF.  He nails the gas and does about a 20ft burnout. 

Needless to say, the truck sold

That's great news man. What are you planning on getting next?

[1500z71]

You should buy my 96 Z71 extended cab, more room, 4x4, newer motor and tranny

[AmericanRobster]

I still have my 97 Chevy and I love it.

I don't know yet really.  I've actually been straying away from trucks, was thinking of getting an old Mustang 5.0 and modding it.  I saw one I liked but I don't know how much the guy wants, he won't contact me back.
