it started life as a 1985 d350 dually gasser. lifted the body off the chassis and dropped is onto a rolling chassis and powertrain from a 1993 w250 cummins extended cab long bed. fortunately the wheelbase was almost identical and the cab along with a shortbed i purchased dropped too perfectly. the rolling chassis and drivetrain had about 140k on it when i bought it from a friend whol crushed his cab loading broken cement into the bed with a front end loader. its now almost to 146k.  i have put alot of time, money, sweat, tears, and blood into this truck.  it was an automatic until recently. i purchased a 1992 w250 donor truck to do the manual conversion.  while under neath her as i was pulling everything out i decided it best to just rebuild everything seeing as i had some spending cash at the time.  front and rear axles have been rebuilt as well as the getrag 5 speed transmission and transfer case.  i sprung for a new clutch and upgraded to the southbend clutch hydraulics package.  everything i rebuilt was sanded, repainted black and rustoleumed as well as the chassis.  this truck will literally run forever. 
i picked up a diamond plate bumper and 10k pound ramsey wench for the front but it has not been installed yet. i have a new custom aluminum one piece rear drive shaft on the way right now.  the purchase was made because after converting to manual but before deciding to sell i had huge power aspirations. was intending to make this into a sled puller and pick up another daily.  
she has no carpet. original dash and door panels were red. iv replaced them with black panels. the carpet was still red so i yanked it out. the floor is in great shape..  i like the bare metal black. its durable and tough looking.  
the seats are blue. from a second gen cummins turbo diesel. all i had at the time.  future goals were to re upholster in black leather but its a future thing.  
also if you know anything about diesels, especially the dodge cummins, you know they are typically always leaking something somewhere.  this truck does not leak at all.  its completely dry which is something i am extremely proud of.  its a rarerly attained goal, especially considering the age of all this hardware.  

again.. the truck has around 145k mileage. however when i did the manual conversion i swapped the guage cluster.  the manual cluster reads 168k, which even if that were the true mileage its insignificant for a 12 valve cummins.  

rust and leak free.

you arrange shipping.

Dodge Durango gets the Blacktop treatment

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The Dodge Durango is getting a meaner, more aggressive look as it becomes the latest model from the brand to wear the Blacktop Appearance Package. The upgrades are strictly cosmetic, but they lend the SUV a more assertive demeanor that some buyers like.
Available on the SXT, Limited and R/T (shown above) models, all Blacktop Durangos get black 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, bod- color fascia and gloss black trim. The grille surround, air dam, mirrors and headlight surrounds all get the inky treatment, as well. The improvements add $1,590 to the cost of the SXT. They come to $1,990 on the Limited but also include HID headlights with LED running lights and a leather interior. Finally, R/T buyers only need to pay $295 for the upgrades. The Blacktop Durango hits showrooms this October.
If you're already in the market for a Durango but want a dash more style with no added performance, the Blacktop might not be a bad way to go. It certainly gives the SUV a bit more edge than it has in stock form. Scroll down to read the full release.

Stormtrooper Dodge Charger Episode IV: A New Soap

Fri, Dec 18 2015

We spent a day with a Dodge Charger that looks like a Stormtrooper helmet and made a few videos. In this one, the Charger meets the car wash. May the force be with the dryer. Read about the car and watch the rest of the videos here.

2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.
