Here is my truck. Thought it was a cool pic. All my other cars are out of fuel and I haven't really moved it in a while. Plus, the weather is bad and it floods really easy here in my town, this helps. Any other JaloPPos own both cars and trucks?

At least everything is not covered in snow. I don't even want to step foot outside today.

I can't imagine buddy. I've never even seen snow :(

lol close, Houston. We got kinda sorta of a sleet storm in '05 ish but real powdery snow no. Something that will actually stack like that nope :(

Haha, I used to live in Louisiana, and I remember it being just gross during the winter. It snowed one, half an inch or less, school cancelled, I move up here, way too much snow.

I've got my 2000 Dakota with the 5.9L Magnum and my 2011 Aveo.

03/04/2014 at 19:41

lol yup. I've been reading all that from you guys on OPPo up north. It's cool but more of a pain all in all

jkm7680 > EL_ULY
03/04/2014 at 19:42

I'm not even that far north, I'm in Northern Virginia, we still get too much snow. I can't even imagine how people even further up north can cope with it.

03/04/2014 at 19:42

niiiice combo sir. Is that the R/T Dakota?

EL_ULY > jkm7680
03/04/2014 at 19:43

I know man. If it were up to me, i'd like it at 95F all year. I do not like the cold at all.

And i'm sort of a bigger dude lol :]

jkm7680 > EL_ULY
03/04/2014 at 19:45

Haha, if I were in charge of weather it would be above freezing and under 100, so I can actually get some parts on my car.

No. It's the SLT. I've posed the question before and apparently, it's an engine swap. The 2000 Dakota in manual never came with a 5.9L. Makes me happy that someone put it in there though!

Does a jeep count as a truck then yes,

I have my 2010 SX4 AWD 6speed, with bigger mud tires on it. Not lifted yet.

My Jeep TJ with 31 inch tires, my girlfriends 2011 Elentra.

I also own a snowmobile(2007 yamaha venture mp), 2 4-wheelers(both suzuki a 2002 vinson and a 1990 4wd quadrunner) 15 foot boat with a 25hp(1985 yamaha), and a riding lawnmower. I think that's all motor powered toys.

I was just talking to friend about fun I assume a SX4 AWD 6 spd probably is. I say a lot: :]

EL_ULY > Osiris - I can haz Euro spec?
03/04/2014 at 22:00

o ok, niiiiice!!!! Mine is sort of rare also. 5.3l V8, 4x4, and Z71 all in a single cab short bed.

Nibbles > EL_ULY
03/04/2014 at 23:42

Yup. I have a 1995 Dakota 5.2 4x4 5MT, a 2007 Focus SES shitbox, a 1987 Saab 900 SPG undergoing rebuild, and a Quarterhorse/Clydesdale mare.

EL_ULY > Nibbles
03/05/2014 at 08:48

niiice! Second Dakota here. 4x4 and MT is da best :] That's cool little gas saver buddy no problem. We have a 88 Saab upstairs at my dealer from back when were a saab dealer also. I'm not 100%, but those last ones are probably real horses :]

Nibbles > EL_ULY
03/05/2014 at 08:56

Yup, I've been helping him figure out exactly what he's got there in that 5.9 SLT lol. You should put that 88 on display since they're collector items now :)

And yeah, that last one is a horse

oh ok lol , he was telling me that yesterday. We also have an oooold Saab racecar up there, need to post on OPPO. Awesome horse dude! I've only been on a horse (pony) once in my whole life and it was for around less than a second. Not very Texan of me. I was like 13 and my uncle had some. I figured I could just hop on without a saddle and right like on TV. Nope, I got along the side (with a running start), hopped on it and fell right on my head/neck on the other side. I guess if I wanted to jump over one I did a semi good job but that was the only time i've been on a horse lol. I couldn't move for like five minutes :]

Nibbles > EL_ULY
03/05/2014 at 09:05

Wow, that's awesome :]

I've only been on a horse a couple of times, and on my horse twice. I was the first one on her, it was my second time. The first ride went well enough; I hopped on and we trolled around the round pen. Second time? I accidentally clipped her hind with my boot while trying to mount. She freaked the fuck out! I wrapped my left arm around the horn and my right over the seat and held on for dear life. She threw me after about 3 seconds, I slid into the fence and busted up my hand a tad

Rodeo is probably not for me

Also, as a belated birthday present for me, you should totes post dem Saabs

totes

EL_ULY > Nibbles
03/05/2014 at 09:10

oh maaaan! I bet you were scared, I know I would be geeeze. Well, more than anything, I never knew how to steer a horse. I guessing left cord equals left and likewise to the right? Both for brakes and a tap on the butt for acceleration?

EL_ULY > Nibbles
03/05/2014 at 09:12

oh yeah right it was Friday huh

Kinja'd!!!

I'll go up there after Lotus's stock order comes in.

Nibbles > EL_ULY
03/05/2014 at 09:17

Yeah, you pretty much got it there. Riding a horse is incredibly therapeutic, too. And yeah, I was kinda scared. More confused and airborne though

Damn. I've not heard of anyone with that before. My buddy has the same thing in a 4 door though. Nice!

EL_ULY > Osiris - I can haz Euro spec?
03/05/2014 at 12:45

yup, usually they are 4 door. I had to order it because they didn't have any in town lol.

03/05/2014 at 13:26

Nice! So why do you prefer a single cab over having some back seat space?

EL_ULY > Osiris - I can haz Euro spec?
03/05/2014 at 13:58

I worked for my dad a/c company a couple years ago. Mostly just hauling materials and ladders. I also had a trailer for bigger heavy stuff. Now that I'm in the car biz again, it just sits there until my other things run out of fuel lol :]

03/05/2014 at 14:00

Makes sense. It's an awesome truck by the way!

EL_ULY > Osiris - I can haz Euro spec?
03/05/2014 at 14:03

thanks. it's an auto though. What about your Dodge?

EL_ULY > Osiris - I can haz Euro spec?
03/05/2014 at 14:03

Mines a Manual 5-Speed. 4x4 with tow package on it. 5.9L Magnum engine. A slight lift (nothing even noticeable until you get close enough). 2 door with the bench seat in the back. Short bed with tonneau cover. 2000 with only 90,500 miles on it. Had to get some maintenance done on it recently but it's running real nice now.

03/05/2014 at 14:08

Niiice, i sure that beh beh gets the job done. Keep her running buddy
