The replacement truck: http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f103/glamisdudes-desert-camping-truck-round-2-a-83733/
My truck has a very different life compared to that of others.... Its a truck that is meant to get out and explore while serving as a home base and look good while doing it8). My goal with it is to have a self contained mini off road capable luxury camper in a sense(I don't do tents...). It serves this purpose quite well so far and its only improving. I may have lost some use of the bed yet I have gained a bed ironically. I love my truck and it has treated me well. Here are the details about said truck:
