    I have to ask, didn't you just get your MT kit and now you want LT? Haha, have you taken your truck out yet to see how it runs?

    Yes sir, i just got the kit like 2-3 months ago? Its madness but my pops wanted a MT Kit and had a rough list of parts he was saving up for before his passing. Sooooo i asked around about what i should get for a well round MT kit. After buying the parts and riding it i have not yet used it in a wheeling trip yet which is kinda lame on my part! In general though "My" personal goal is to build a "true" prerunner such as @nfs257 Rig. The thing is though is if i can slowly upgrade without losing what i spent to a certain degree im all for it, thats why i would love to snag @sladesdaddy1022 Kit . . . . :rofl:!

    I'm debating on building up the taco or getting an older rig (pre smog would be cool) and selling the taco down the line for a better commuter

    Gotcha, so you put the MT kit on in honor of your father? That's pretty cool man.

    But honestly, if you are really planning to go LT, none of the parts that are on your truck now are going to stay.

    Nice glad that we can share some common interest!

    Yeah after seeing Chris truck in person it was an eye grabber, plus all the stories about how he got it built from the ground up was awesome!

    Im really itching for a overland rig sooner or later @sytfu510 Rig and @DefconBrix were some of the peeps that peeked my interest in that field.

    Regarding muscle cars i sat in one of the 2017 Mustangs . . . not bad at all! Plus i want to learn the basics about the automotive field like how things work and possibly swapping in a engine if my schooling goes according to plan.

    Says the guy selling his taco
    Any idea what vehicle you would get for a overlander? I really like the Land Cruiser Model 80s :D.... 4x4 van conversion are great.... getting a toyota pickup extended cab with a cap on the back to sleep in would probably be my best bet cost wise
    Honestly the new mustang and other new muscle cars are alright but for the price of one of those you can get an older muscle car, do an engine swap, and have more power for a lot lower of a cost :D
    What're you in school for?
