I drive old beat up junky jeeps. Going to list them from heaviest to lightest because there isn't really a defined DD, I drive whatever is most functional at the moment... The 1958 Kaiser Jeep M54A2 5-ton military surplus cargo truck. 10 wheel drive, 42 inch tires (stock), 20 thousand pounds of camouflage painted, earsplitting military destruction. If you can parallel park this you can park ANYTHING. The day after I bought it, I drove it to my office engineering job for fun:  The hardest park (those are two foot tall boulders under the rear wheels)   The 1991 Jeep Comanche. 33" ATs, 4" lift, 4x4, 5-speed. Bought it as a bone stock 2wd auto complete with sagging springs and blown shocks.  I have a stock dark blue 1988 Jeep Comanche I'm planning on putting 4x4, a 5-speed, and a 360 V8 from a dodge 2500/3500 in, but it's pretty boring and looks like any other comanche you'd see around. Also a 1998 Jeep Cherokee that's getting a lift and 35s at some point, but again, boring.

yeah, that's the bottom half of a 6 ton jackstand from HF. It was just un-level enough that after a few seconds of sitting still in neutral with the e-brake off it would slowly roll back. Since the e-brake perpetually loosens on this thing, and I don't like to leave it in gear (since it's mechanically injected and will happily run on anything, including its own oil leaking through turbo seals, with the electric system entirely turned off) I generally chock the wheels rather than use the e-brake or leaving it in 1st. In fact I keep a wheel chock with 10 feet of rope tied to it on hand so I can get in, start it, and keep my foot on the brake while I drag the chock up into the cab.

You really don't. It's almost entirely rust from the bottoms of the doors down. My last wheeling trip buckled the frame under the bed, nearly ripped a leaf hangar off (it's only attached by one side), and collapsed the rusted out frame above the LCA mount on the driver side. The floors are horribly rusty and so is everything else. I'm currently scheming up a way to replace the entire frame with quarter inch wall box tubing and redo the floors all at the same time because I refuse to let this one die.

Is it normal that I immediately expected the owner of that Prius to freak the hell out and cry to you about committing plant genocide with your gigantic death machine? Badass truck by the way

         I've had two "dream cars" in my life before this one. A BMW M Coupe and a showroom-new 15k mile Volvo 240 sedan. I had to sell the BMW and Volvo because of bad timing in my life and it looks as if this will be the same thing with my '71 510. The little guy is currently at a shop being dyno tuned before I throw it on eBay.

Fitted the winter wheels today. Rial rims, I like the summer ones better, but it still looks pretty nice imo. I can't believe there's still no snow, and TEN degrees outside in Norway when its almost december.. Last year I was drowning in snow at this time.

 Really suprised that it is November 27th in Wisconsin and there is no snow on the ground. But, I probably should get around to putting the winter tires on the Altima. Or just store the entire car over winter since no one obviously wants to buy it at this time.
