If you could build your own "dream" truck what would it include for accesories?


Besides the obvious mud flaps, and bed liner.

A user selectable rear end? 4.10 for heavy towing, 3.73 for moderate hauling and 3.52 for long empty highway trips!!

I'm thinking underhood generator, underhood aircompressor, underhood welder hookup, 2" lift on duallys, etc....I'll post more ideas....but wanna see where everyone elses imagination can take us.


Oh yea refigerated cup holders to keep the beer cold...oops I mean soda. Onboard biodiesel system to make fuel.....all you gotta do when you run low is pull into a Mcdonalds and take 50 gallons of fryer oil and add ethanol and a filter system and your good to go for another 1000miles.....just a couple of my ideas for a prototype...


I am not trying to create no chitty chitty bang bang but I have seen some cool ideas at truck shows, get togethers, fairs, etc...


I like Chevmeister tool box in his bed where he can reach all of his tools from the gate.

In cab adjustable low beams so when I overload it I am not blinding people at night. Cars in Europe have it, why can't we?


And Bearman's idea http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

Yea I like tysmith's idea...on board computer diagnostics for the driver....beyond letting us know that the wiper fluid is empty.

A GPS navigation system built into the rear view mirror or a heads up display like the speedo on some cars. I've driven a few cars with nav systems and it seems like you spend too much time looking down at the screen, (Why these are legal and DVD players aren't I have no clue). If it was more line of site you could keep your eyes on the road.


I also want a front air dam that can take the punishment of snow drift busting. All this plastic really takes the fun out of thathttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif.


Variable tone exhaust. Straight piped for fun and quiet for towing and when the Mrs drives it.
