Right now, I'm looking at the Ford and Dodge with Diesels, because they offer a 6-speed Manual unlike the Chevy. Monday I'll be checking with dealers to see just how hard it is to find a Diesel with a Manual. And checking lift kits and gigantic tires. Thanks for the input You guys . . . I can't wait until I have some pictures to post.
BTW . . . I'm naturally going with a 4x4, it wouldn't be right any other way.
