no offense ... but a longbed fs for a TRAIL RIG? I dont know what trails are like where you guys are, but here you need a short wheelbase narrow ride to fit between trees and such

I've seen long bed extended cabs get into some pretty tricky places..

i would love to see someone weld wood to metal

my buddy suggested taking 2 rail road ties, then some heavy rope and tying them to the truck, then beating them up with crow bars and the works.. no one will go near the truck

^^ i meant like a piece of railroad track. idk its just something my stepdad said this morning when he was talking about road rage and ramming people that cut you off and i thought it was kinda funny. but you get the idea though.

Dont have any trails around here but it sure would be fun to cruise the gravel roads in.

well i started it and it sounded like it had a bad knock, so i proceeded to let it warm up. after about 20 min i decided to shut it off and start it back up, well when i started it back up it went away, so i was like ok...??? all confused, well i decided to rev it a little and at 1500 rpm, the knock came back i let it idle and it went away, this went on for like 10 min then it went away all together then it came back so i put a little diesel 911 into her and it went away for 20 min of idling revving and driving in my driveway. well then it came back and didnt go away, i got a video ill upload sometime of what its doing, but i looked into it and it seems like it could be a fuel delivery problem or an oil pump that controls the injectors
