I don't see why anyone would have an issue with this vehicle. Its homebuilt, probably exactly what the owner wanted and looks serviceable. Not many people I know have the skills to pull off a swap like this. Sure, the "styling" choices are not what I would want but hey, its a free country, or was..... Pretty much anything with a diesel engine, especially a MB diesel is cool. RT

Not to mention, how stupid the stack looks in the back of the truck. There's a such thing as "overbreathing", and blowing all of your power out your exhaust system.

Son, you haven't seen a rats nest now have you?
Actually, have you ever tackled a big project like this guy did and completed it? Just wondering....
