Dream Mods..

if money was no object , what would be some of the modifications you would do to your truck to make it do, look like, sound like, etc. whatever you wanted.

For me on my old IH..

chopped top about 3 inches
lowered to about a 4 inch stance
motor/drivetrain that could pull anything I put behind it,
showroom shine on the body
Possibly cab modified to extended cab to carry more peoples
Air Conditioning/cruise control/ EFI
Mustang II front suspension
Disk brakes all the way around
new bed floor, and rhino lined
tinted windows
Decent audio system
Bucket seats and a nice wrap around center console with built in fridge
Led turn signal, and brake lights
one off wheels/tires combo.

Now.. just got to get me a money tree, or win the lottery..

On the diesel truck, DP Tuner with up to 140 extra hp, full guages, 6.0 intercooler, BTS transmission, 4" exhaust, new wheels and tires. Hows that for a start.

To just my current truck...

Rust work on the whole body with line-x on the whole undercarriage and under body.

A third powered axle turning my 4x4 into a 6x6 with custom two mode differentials one mode is a e locker the other is based on a True-Trac LSD for all axles.

Either a 4v 5.4 supercharged motor, 4v aluminum block V10, or a 12 liter W18 configuration quad turbo-diesel if it can be fitted.

Multi-fuel capable

Either a 6 or 12 speed automatic transmission with a full manual mode.

Quad stacks that go between the bed and cab that are flush with the side of the truck and are not visible outside of the rear window.

Sub 85 db exhaust volume at WOT nice low subtle growl at idle.

Ultra heavy duty black cloth captains chairs

120+ mph 4 speed (6 Ultra High, 6 High, 6 Low, 6 Ultra Low) transfer case.

2 inch lift and level enough to fit 35's

6 wheel carbon ceramic disc brakes with dual 8 pot calipers with heavy duty pads

The ability to hit at least 1.2g on a skidpad test.

4 digit hp and tq.

500 watt 4 speaker sound system

Roof clearance lights

Custom made front and rear bumpers with winch mounts

100 mph Brush guard up front.

1.5 inch forged and galvanized skid plates including a 2.5 in "submarine" plate behind the rear most diff to stop a car from going under the bumper and directly hitting the axles.

Snorkels

A place to mount if nesscary a twin mount of M2E2 Browning .50 cal machine guns (for hunting trips, zombies, communist invasions, etc..)

20 mpg on max power tune\ 30-40mpg on normal tune\ 50+ mpg on eco-tune

Diamond or near diamond hard paint job (vermilion red) that never scratches, fades, nicks, and peels

6 inch frame mounted Running boards

CTIS system for the tires

On the Fly adjustable shocks with a Auto adjust mode where the truck senses how the truck is moving and what must happen to the suspension settings to keep all 6 wheels on the ground.

Windows made from aluminum oxynitride bulletproof glass with quick defrosting (< 1 min with 1 inch thick ice layer) abilities.

Full deep sea Amphibious.

At least 4 fog and 4 driving lights

I think that covers it...

Did I go too far?

Welp, I think I have my axles/body armor/engine covered already on mine so I would have to say:

35's
Newer leather interior from 98-01' model
Rust repair and truck-bed liner on interior floor
Roof rack w/offroad lights
All Kicker audio w/ 5-channel amp (Dunno where I would stuff a sub though )

I guess this isn't really a dream list, it's all on a list of things to be done! lol

If I wished for too nice of things then I couldn't drive it like I stole it and park it wherever I want

Just thought of one for Old Smokey, the 54 F250. A new 6.2 V8 with the 6 speed auto. That would mean I'd have to junk the 460/C6 combo.

More power, better fuel economy and all that good stuff. Maybe add a huffer down the road.

Doubler, lockers, fuel injection, lift, big tires, and a new body on POJ. Of course then it wouldn't be POJ.
