What's your dream Truck/4x4?

[Grant Lamontagne]

There are two dream trucks that come to mind for me instantly, and those would be Unimogs (in virtually any form) and the Mercedes G55- maybe even the 6x6 version if price is no limit.

But if we are talking about something I would like to have as a daily driver for the rest of my life, I think I would have to take the truck I grew up with, a 1974 GMC Jimmy in Yuba Gold.

If I could only find one in decent shape I would do whatever I had to to buy it.  I would then spend an awful pile of money fixing it up and protecting it so that I had it forever.

My parents bought that truck shortly after I was born and had it up until I was 15, when they sold it as the corrosive air here in NS was eating it away horribly.  It was many years before I forgave them for getting rid of it, as to me it was a family member.

I thought this was your dream, beefed up with a camping top?

I've almost got that now.  Not much of a dream if I'm almost there!

I saw your truck go by the other day, I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't you, but the driver wasn't pushing the peddles with a crutch, lol.. Isn't jeep coming out with a remake of there old truck, what was it the scrambler?

I think you are thinking of the Comanche, but no, this is expected to be a factory version of the Brute kit that has been available for years.

I'd thought seriously about a Brute kit for my TJ, but it's almost $10k for the kit and almost that again for the work to install it.  The frame needs to be sectioned and lengthened among other things.

Well yes and no.  The kit has been available for years but it basically adds $20k to the price of your Jeep.

And probably voids a smurf pile of warranties.

For me its a 11 or newer Toyota Tacoma extra cab TRD package.

60's Bronco would be the "Eleanor" for me

Right on JBW, with a sweet 289!  I remember they were common around here, but those days are about 30 years in the past

All I want is a 2017 Tacoma. 

For impractical I would say something along these lines.
