Finding the right truck or build it
#3
Having your rig as your DD isn't the greatest option, if you break it, you are sunk as far as getting to work and back.

I prefer having two vehicles. Your rig doesn't need full coverage insurance unless you owe money on it. Liability is cheap and getting the I/M etc isn't all that bad.

Best part is if you break it and don't have enough money or time to fix it right away, no problem, as you've still got your DD to get around with. Or if you DD decides to give out, you also have a way to get around until you get it fixed, unless you sell your rig and now are forced to quickly fix your DD. (Yes, I'm in that very situation right now)

I happen to know that Kevin has a 1/2 ton Chevy Diesel shortbed 4x4 that could easily be made into a monster. Bigger axles, a lift, and tires and you'd be on your way. Not overly expensive and you'd have a fun toy.
