    My new daily driver

    I have been in need of a new daily driver for a while. My wife gave me an amazing gift and got me the truck i've been wanting.

    check it out:



    this really won't be a project, but i will be fixing some stuff on the truck and refurbishing other things on the truck. whatever I do that seems of interest to you all, i'll make sure to take pics and post up on here.

    Looks good. I think a 4-door truck is the perfect companion vehicle for a Miata.

    Very nice indeed. Congratulations! I think a 4X4 is a perfect second car for a Miata owner. After you drive one, you appreciate the other, and visa-versa.

    I agree to a certain extent. If I can get back to work anytime soon, I'm debating picking up a Colorado for the Ohio winters. I currently have an Explorer but despise it, which is compounded more every time I switch from the Miata to the Explorer.

    Thread jack ended; Nice looking truck!
    2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).

    thanks everyone. this one isn't a 4x4, but i live in miami and don't do any offroading, so i didn't need the 4x4 option. but i need a 4 door vehicle and still wanted to have a truck, so this was the perfect option. i'm loving it so far. it'll also do well when my miata is done if i ever need to tow it around.

    Nice pickup man! Is it the supercharged version? I am hoping for a very white winter here. It probably won't happen but I hope it does.

    not the supercharged version, but actually glad about that. the sc version is a gas guzzler and i honestly don't need the extra power for a daily driver. its quite awesome as it is. needs a little minor things here and there, but all in all, its a great truck
