So this is the conversation ive had with my wife. We are purchasing a home in a nice West Des Moines area with no covenant. Ive always told my wife that having a truck is important when owning a home so she agreed.
I just didnt say what kind of truck.
Im new at this and i have used the search function but here are the questions i have.
How does GL actually work, i noticed some auctions at our local reserve base but i dont know how to bid.
Which engine is the better one to get. Im new to diesels but not new to wrenching. I dont need to offroad i just need it to haul stuff, take the kids to school, scare the neighbors, bring anarchy to a once peacefull culdesac.
Id like to hear pros and cons for the hard top and the winch. I dont really need the winch but **** who needs a truck this size anyway so why not.
Has anyone ever installed some type of kill switch so anyone cant just start it up and drive off. NO chain and lock is not an acceptable answer.
Has anyone ever retrofitted there interiors with sound deadening material and vinyl to help droun out the sound. Maybe even carpet.
Last but not least. Im a car guy, always will. I like to find old cars bring them home fix them and sell. Is it possible to haul a car in the back of a deuce. The weight limit and the length seem to make it believeable but i was curious if anyone has done it. I understand i will need anchoring hooks and possibly beef up the mounting points on the bed but has anyone ever done this. I can fab up the ramps myself.
Looking forward to the answers to the questions that have probally already been asked i just havent found. The probable ridicule of my spelling and not using the search function more thourghly. And the overall helpfullness i have heard this sight can produce.
