1974 Bronco and the 1974 CJ5.  Both were great rigs.  Traded each one for a chick magnet car '84 260Z and '78 Corvette.  Didn't work!  Chicks liked the cars, but couldn't get past the dweeb driving it I guess.  Met my wife driving an '88 2X4 Ranger P/U.  Good thing for me she must have had some real low standards back then :dunno:
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Had a 1970 International 3/4 ton 4x4.  Ugly as sin but strong as hell.  really had a lot of character and was fun until I filled it up...

'65 Ford with a 390. My wife misses that truck a lot.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

05 Ram 3500, one of the last years before they put DPFs on them.  Chipped.  Torque monster.  Would pull a 9000lb trailer over passes without kicking out of overdrive.  Bought it used in 07, piled on the miles, barely took a hit when I sold it last year.  Have a Tacoma now - just not the same.....

76 Jeep J-10 pickup, 401 C.I.D. loved that ol truck. 8 to 80, loaded or empty it got 8 m.pg. but of course that is when gas was $1.00 a gallon.

Mine was a 1945 WILLYS MB3 JEEP. No frills, no heat/ no radio, no wipers. Stock seats, original engine, 6volts still had the brass nomenclature plate riveted to the dash. We didn't get anywhere in a hurry, but we got there. I' ve been kicking myself for the last 20 years.
