    I just did this a few weeks ago, get inspected, take inspection, insurance, bill of sale, and title to county tax office, they will charge you about 100 for plates plus whatever the sales tax is. Walked out with plates in about 20 mins.

    So I've discovered that if I drop another $7500 into the motor of my truck I can hit the 700-800 horse power mark. Very tempting.

    Yes.
    Does that $7500 come with a Dodge 2500 Turbo Diesel 4x4?

    This. You will still be out of work while it is in the shop on it's bi-monthly trips. Take that money and build a welding trailer that will let you work no matter what truck is hooked up to it.

    Probably gonna get a new truck next year, makes more sense tax wise. And yes, Race truck. Made the mistake of going to the diesel drag races in Ennis.

    Save money. Invest in work truck. Use that to make more money. Buy race truck project to work on on the side while having a reliable work truck.

    Same same. Either way. Don't make work truck into a race truck.

    What's up everyone! I hoped back on TW to scope out the new 2016s, so I thought I'd drop in here and say hi as well.

    Hey Adam, you know the rumors are still strong of a 2016 diesel Tundra. All of life's Chrysler worries would be solved, and you get to keep the Cummins.

    Yeah I didn't think about that... That would be a requirement for you. I cringed when I saw you bought a Dodge. After one left me with $50 to my name on a Christmas eve, I swore I'd never own another Chrysler product. Then I went bought a jeep. I'm now ready to correct my wrong haha
