Looking for a Name

Our project truck needs a name. I want something to put on a signature banner, and maybe onto some tee shirts.

I am thinking of something that suggests "good old boys", "Ford tough", and "junk yard dog". I want it to suggest we are not high tech, but rather cold steel - as unstoppable as a steam locomotive.

Nothing dainty here - a real bull in a china store.

I like the term "mudder truck" so I have been working on something like "Boss Mudder Truck".

Lets here some other suggestions. . . .

Call it........Bob. LOL Why not just call it " The junkyard dog" you could even put a set of ears on it like that one monster truck...I forget the name of it but it looks cool. Could paint it the color scheme of a rottie or pincher..black and tan. If you really wanna sound tough though...call it "The Slayer" and do it up in gunmetal grey with a couple of swords crossin on the doors and a pile of corprate logos underneath like chevy, dodge ect.
Those are my two ideas for the moment.

How about Frankenstein?
I built a truck from many doners. My wife affectionately named it Frankie. Of course, she considered the truck a feminine version of the monster, but the intent was a mix of several trucks and cars all put together in one tough ombre.
Or FrankenRot, to mix in the junk yard dog concept (rotweiller) sp.

Yeah, we're goin' down alright...down the track ahead of the Nevada boys...

As for a name, maybe a variant of the Frankenstein idea...Frankentruk, or Truckenstein...

This one's been used before, but a classic: Blew By-you

What color is the truck, Clint? How 'bout "Ol' (insert color here)"

Or Good Ol' Boy's Toy...

I suck at naming things. That's probably why none of my vehicles have names.
