Trick your ride?
I watch a lot of Velocity and Discovery tv, mainly for the nature and auto shows. Of all the shows such as Overhaulin' with Chip Foose, Fast 'n' Loud with Richard Rawlings and Aoron (the dood with the ZZ Top beard), Wheelers and Dealers (English guys that mainly work on older cars), and West Coast Customs, who would you let trick your ride? Anyone from a show not mentioned welcomed as well.
I'd go with Grease Monkey Garage which is Fast 'n' Loud for power and speed and West Coast Customs for looks. They just pulled off an F350 for Habitat for Humanity that came out really nice for a work truck w/ a utility bed.

Let him be so good he has a nationally recognized television show that his work is publicly viewable and perhaps...
Come on now, everyone knows someone or a shop locally. I'd only let Diesel Innovations and no one else, not John Woods nor Brian nor anyone else under the sun, only touch mine for power, speed and reliability as far as who I know on that level.
I'm talking hypothetically. Of all the shows on tv who would you let customize, be it for power or looks or both, your truck?

I've seen first-hand an engine build that came out of his shop and talked personally to the owner and the nightmare he's been through and still enduring is not something I would wish on anyone.
It's a good thing Mike Farmer was at Joey's to try and help out the injector portion of the problem on this guys engine.
I like David and have been a past customer of his, and am not hesitant to be one again in the future, but like I said, unless Mr. Lott himself was working on my truck (not anyone from his shop) he's not high on my list like he is on yours.

Geebuz Krist Good Lord Almighty Above, that is not the point of this thread, BUT since we're on it my truck coming out of David's shop would annihilate anyone else's truck's coming out of anywhere else, plain and simple. Yes, I'd prefer it be David as well himself whom would work on it as after all, he's the one whom built his wife's daily driver of 700+ hp that is more reliable than stock trucks apparently as it's still on the road for years now, built by himself, and it get's raced often from what I understand but yet has to lose.

Fast and Loud would get my vote. I am very much a fan of rat rods.

You don't get to act like you have a burr under your saddle and get all hysterical like a woman can. YOU brought David into the mix.
But this aint about David or even DI, it's about your attitude when you post regarding Mr. Lott. You don't get to bring David into the mix and then get all funky when someone comments about it in a manner you don't like or approve of so calm down.
Anyway, 'Nuff said...moving on to your original intent before YOU brought in a divergent topic.
I'm not sure I know enough about the TV mechanics to trust any of them, but there is a show, Xtreme 4x4, that's building a half-price Raptor I sure wouldn't mind owning if they ever sold it.

Who buttered the thread? It just wants to fall on popcorn.
Who has time for TV? I spend too much time here or under the hood lately. I don't even have a TV signal in my house... I didn't know those shows existed. I'll thumb through Hulu or something to get a frame of reference.
