I'm not sure really where to put this new thread but here goes.

So my wife has just inherited quite a bit of money.

One night as we're talking on the tailgate of my truck, she asked "How many miles are on Abigail? (My trucks name"

I replied, "142K"

She looked at me and asked "How much longer do you think she's got?"

"****, she'll last forever if I keep maintaining her the way I am."

"What if she doesn't?"

"I'm confused on the point you're trying to make babe."

"How about we get one of those new diesel's I always see you googling late at night?"

"WWHAAAT??"

"You said they last forever, so why not get one?"

"I'm not going to argue this in anyway shape or form."



Yup, I'm going to be getting a brand new 2012 or 2013 3500 HD CC Long Bed Laramie (single axle) in about a year, since I still want to put forth about 10,000 of my own money.



I told her I wanted to make the truck I have now into a project for me and our daughter (and next child).

Thus here's all the NEW mods going in my truck.

MOTOR SWAP!
426 HEMI (Not a Stroker kit)
Street Fighter TCI Transmission
New rear axel (Snag one off a SRT-10)
Nitrous
Matte White Paint Job.
5/7 drop.

If anyone else has anymore idea's, Please suggest anything!

Figured this is about the build up, and not the new truck yet.

The other mods in my build thread are still going on.

As for the 426 and TCI, that's going to be when I get the new truck. But saving up for it starts 10 mins ago when I bought a Arizona for 99 cents instead of a red bull hahah.

I just can't FU%^&*G wait to make my truck into a sleeper. I'll find every Powerchoke I can just to kill them.

I think I would like to get the cummins there.

But the dealership out here in vegas is Super helpful and will even colormatch my grille and bumpers on the HD for me and be under warranty.

Are you trading in your current truck?

My suggestion? Does your wife have a hot sister that also got a share?

Hahaha, actually she has a sister but she has autism. So this build will be my way of giving her something to help me with as well as my kids. It'll be a big family project.

This is the only thing that's actually looking up for me recently, since my wife and I have been living a ******* tragic Disney movie.

Sorry to hear about the sister, but it's awesome of you to help out.

Which ******* tragic Disney movie are you talking about? To me, they have all been pretty tragic.
