my old man had the same wonderlodge...he actually put a body lift on it so he could stuff a bigger motor in it...does yours have the the music layer on the dash...i remember everytime as a kid he would leave or arrive somewhere he would play music through the loud horn. great memories...

one time at lone rock, lake powell he put it in a 4 wheel slide trying to get it down to the beach through the soft sand...that was a wild ride...:D

This rig is a 1975 it has the tiny dash and the radio is overhead. Every place we go there is always people wanting to check it out, it has a lot of character. This rig needs to be repowered bad it has a non turbo Cat with a whopping 160 hp and smokes like a freight train.

I can't remember what motor he had a cat of some sort but he used to run 70 up baker with a trailer in tow.

I can do 70 on flat or down hill, Baker grade I might do 15-20 if I'm lucky Its a heavy sob.

I'm probably forgetting something somewhere but that isn't what this forum is about..

Now to the good stuff

Boat: 2010 Schiada 24' Mini offshore
Power: Boostpower marine 900sci

The boat belongs to my father who is on this forum as "slippery". He currently tows it with a white 2015 Chevrolet 3500 with the 6.6 duramax. The 1/2 ton actually tows it just fine despite being unusually heavy for a 24' boat. I gave the boat a bath one day and couldn't resist from taking a few pictures, hope you enjoy.

I just detailed my 2005 Ram Cummins I've had since new. I'm hoping to keep this truck for many more years.

Here's the new rig. 2014 Tundra Crewmax and 2001 Ultra 247xs. I upgraded from an Excursion V10 to the Tundra. I have to say it...the Tundra pulls better. It's the new technology 6 speed trans vs the old 4 speed in the Excursion.

The boat has been through hell and back....... If it could talk it would be begging to be put out of its misery.

I have always had 4wd and would never own a 2wd truck. The peace of mind knowing I can turn a knob and be out of "oh-shit ville" is priceless. And yes, I've had to use it a few times on wet ramps, especially if the trailer tires drop off the end of the ramp.

I have a 4 and a 2 diesel. I use the one for boat/work and the 4wd for the trailer. I didn't want the extra maintenance of the 4 and insurance. But to do it again I would have got 4wd. Even though I already have one

Well I broke down and did it, '15 Megacab CTD, she's so new I haven't even hooked it up to the boat yet. Everyone said it wouldn't fit in the garage, it does!
