    I want a DC for interior room... The LB for my gear... I have the V6 and its powered just fine. And I don't take my truck extreme off roading.

    And I don't mind NY I guess, I just wish we got Utah snow!!! Love skiing 3' Alta/Snowbird powder!

    LB has to suck with any off roading.

    Ill never have my truck in a situation where I would wish I had a DCSB. I don't do trail runs or desert excursions... Im not against it but We don't have much of that around here. Logging roads, getting to streams and finding some unplowed snowy roads is probably the extent of my off-road use. I'm upstate NY Adirondacks.

    And to touch on the snow here... there is some really good backcountry skiing here that I just opened my eyes to last Winter. Long hikes, (6 miles round trip!) but worth it to ski some really cool areas. Plan on doing a lot more this winter. So anybody east coast looking for some good skiing, check it out!

    Yeah i know. not much for off roading in NY.

    I got family just south of buffalo. Their use to be all kinds of ATV/dirt bike trails but kids got stupid and started tearing up the farmers crop and stuff and farmers put up fences/gates. They open them in the winter when there is snow.

    We have a decent trail system for snowmobiles around here and that's it. Not much for ATV or vehicle stuff. Found and old pit when I was young and burried a 1500 Ram reg cab 8' box over the headlights :eek: wasn't fun and my fluids looked like chocolate milk until after about 5 changes... I remember seeing water shoot 100' out of the dual exhaust when I stomped on it!! haha Needless to say some stones the size of my house were placed on the access road...

    most the atv trails where my family is was/is the same the snowmobiles use. just along the edge of the fields and and the gas line/pipe line. but like i said the “newer” kids had no respect and tour the corn and other crops up. most of it was just atv/dirt bike stuff no truck stuff.

    and damn i know some people that have done stuff like that places down here.

    I love WNY. but some of the laws are such BS.

    You miss the part about long stuff and a nice rack? :confused: :D

    My truck before this one was an 84 Toyota extra cab with a bobbed frame and 54" flatdeck, and a rack I built onto that, main reason I upgraded was to get a double cab to accomodate the yard apes.
