ok, i've decided to take some advice,
in the near future im going to be getting a junker dakota, and doing a full frame-up build with the help of some friends (since they know better than me, but im still the dakota guru lol)
details are still going to be shrouded in mystery, (since my heads a bit foggy)
but heres what i know that i want, (generally speaking)

if you can guess, i'll tell you,

it will still be 4 cylinders, but will use glow plugs not spark plugs.
ever seen those round tube frames? mine'll be twice the fun,
who needs a solid axle when i get get one that bends in the middle?
and finally,you cant lose with twinnytoos.....

its all just an idea, one of those strange voices in my head is telling me what to do....

[batman13]

im hoping to put together an actual render soon, but it'll look like my sig pretty much

so your building a tube chassis bagged on 20/22 combo with a deisel engine...and independant rear suspesion (IRS)

deisel swaps have been done..please tell me you are gunna use a cummins and not a VW engine

Damn beat me to it.

[batman13]

see. i made it easy...

theres another company besides cummins?
WTF!
lol yea, i would do a built 4Bt cummins turbo

and i'm going for 22" all the way around. im not big on combos, depends on what kind of space i have to work with when the frame is all done with the drivetrain in

INTERIOR:
im gonna continue the ideas of my interior into D'kota,
buckets, 2 12"s down and rear firing RFs in the console
all switches and buttons for the truck, including air ride,headlights,even the ignition will be in a panel set into the console with a locking/sliding lid.

shaved dash/door panels,

it'll have 4 or so speakers hidden, 2 under the dash, 2 hidden behind the seats somewhere
the headunit will be a touch screen navi unit that will hide in the console just below the shifter,

the console will flow into the dash, which will hold all digital gauges

i will keep the heater, only vents will be the defog and floor,

seats will be covered in black denim, other panels will be either flat black or, like the floor, line-x.

some red here and there but not too much.

the truck will be a summer daily....just the most badass one on the road lol
