Well, since this is a 4x4 I'll post it here. I am/will be going to school for welding, heavy equip and transport/agricultural equip. And probably some more like, thermal dynamics, physics, business, and structural engineering. My dad wants me to build him a truck, his dream truck, with my ideas. So here is what I have planned out so far.

Dana 80 Front axle by Custom Differentials with chromoly shafts and 3.42 limited slip (Mag-Hytech cover)
Sterling 10.5 Rear axle by Custom Differentials with chromoly shafts and 3.42 posi-traction (Mag-Hytech cover)

6-speed Allison 1000 tranmission built for 1000+hp and 2500+tq
12 or 24 valve Cummins with P7100 pump and custom twin turbo kit(details not disclosed)

Wide high back bucket seats on swivel frames(4)
Custom built floor for more room and usability

Electric trailer brake box
Stainless steel brake/fuel lines
Large Ron Davis aluminum radiator with oil/tranny cooler built in

Schaeffer Fluids in everything
100 gallon aluminum fuel tank(s)

Thats pretty much the start of it. As time goes on things will change. And other things will be decided, like paint, upholstery etc.
