well, i'm lost as to what to do. i'm going to be purchasing another vehicle here very shortly, but i cannot decide on what i want. i;m going to be keeping the s10 so she will be going no where. but right now its between a 2011 red crz lowered on some bronze enkeis, and a 2006 dodge ram 2500 cummins. my two favorite things have always been dodge diesels and hondas. any help guys?
Cummins hands down...
Sent from my Butthole using Fart power!

see and thats what i was thinking, i know how to work on Cummins' pretty well, due to previous mechanical training in diesel and gas motors. plus in my book cummins has the best running diesel motor out of any heavy duty pick up. and another bonus is nothing is more bad ass then a 8000 pound diesel truck whooping all over a fast car, and leaving it in a cloud of black smoke of course :]
Only weak point to the dodge is the tranny. Always has been.
But im die hard mopar til i die. Well truck wise atleast...

yeah the transmissions suck absolute d**k, thank god for suncoast :]
and then the rain from hurricane Sandy ruined my day...
i'll be needing the following:
-hood
-driver fender
-headlight
-headlight harness
-hids
-grill
-front bumper
-front bumper cover
-driver door
and i figured being that i'll be ripping the hole front end apart it'd be a choice opportunity to hit up LMC Truck and purchase a whole new Sonoma front end swap, with a billet grill insert. She's down for the count, but not out, in due time she'll have a Sonoma front clip and be multicolored until i can afford to repaint her. I'll keep ya'll updated as the parts fly in.

i mean i first fell in love with the sonoma front clip when they did it in mini truckin magazine
but i have thought about the envoy front end but i like the older front end like such
I like em both 
as long as its custom its cool in my book!
as long as its custom its cool in my book!your my mini truck mentor! i need decisive input!I like em both
The nice thing about minis is that u can do whatever u want and nobody is gonna tell u they think its stupid lol.
Do what u like best man!
Do what u like best man!
im more contemplating on piecing together used parts for a front clip or blowing 800 bucks on a full brand new clip from LMC, so many decisions!
Update this b***h!
haha, i've been super busy lately and have been neglecting the truck. Me and my business partner are actually completely body working and repainting a 745i BMW right now. Can post pictures if requested.
As for status of the SDime, she now has a black hood, a new black blazer grill, new headlights, new fenders, shaved doors, and a AVS door popper kit. Once this beemer is out of shop, ill be finishing replacing what i feel necessary (such as a shaved tail gate, front bumper, and roll pan) dropping it down to a 5/7 or a 6/8, then body working the whole thing, and repainting it along with some new wheels. Roads are super s***ty around here in Ohio so im hesitant on going super low on a static drop, so it really depends if I manage to get another daily and really make this a project. Chances are It'll going down to a 5/7 though. Thinking about air shocks because I've heard they superior ride quality compared to the DJM drop shocks I'm on now. Any opinions?

Just bag it. You will be happier in the end and they have everything in the world available for s10s
down the road its a strong possibility. but right now i just want to have a good looking, static dropped, clean mini daily.
on another note, stepside or fleetside?
