Re: OOPs Crew

actually my trucks are lower that the usaual high truckes around...i use the box in mine every day...so a box that is way up in the air is a real pita for me to lift fridges and stove into....so no streaching or lifting it.....just gonna make it a 4wd.


as far as the next boat project...im gonna rip and strip the bayliner capri and re foam it and put in a new deck......gonna see if i can get it done in two weeks.......

then when spring time comes....SELL IT !...thats my 383 stroker money. :D

Re: OOPs Crew

don't det me wrong rangers and s-10s are great trucks but dakotas are just a little bigger and handle towing better

Re: OOPs Crew

oh i never disagreed with you.. dont get me wrong. i know its got alota power. thats why im looking at the f150s. the v6 dakotas have almost worse gas mileage than the v8s. my buddy/boss drives one and told me if im gunna commute he said dont get it. it gets worse mileage that said. like i said dont get me wrong i like the dodges. love his truck . his dad has a tahoe. we call it the maroon monster.. ill get a pic this weekend to tell you why we call it that.. .. i like any brand. just not the smaller trucks like the s-10s

Re: OOPs Crew

oh and oops sounds like its a good little project. i wanna sell the Columbian after i finish it. this guy in town offered me a free 25footer. good condition except he took out the power . so its just pretty much the shell. hes trying to get rid of it but if he doesnt i told him i would help him cut it up and for the help i get 4 free boat stands and anything i want off the boat.. i really hope no one takes it.

it's got to be the driver i have had 4 dodge dakotas and one ram witht the 3.9v6 got 20 mpg with the ram and 21-25 with the dakotas and had lots more towing power than the ranger and s-10 guys

Re: OOPs Crew

to get the boats to where i work on them i have to go 50yards down hill then across a semi soft 30yrd width of dirt. than right up to the spot.. its nice. theres a couple places around here that i can go to. my buddy always had mud on his truck. and still does with his new one.
