OLD VS. NEW !

(ruffneckrider) · (ruffneckrider) **Join Date: Jan 2005** 02-16-2006, 7:31 PM

Walt and I were having a debate over my old tow rig vs. my new tow rig. He said that my new rig was WAY BETTER then my old one! And that my Caddy looked liked it should be in a circus! What a friend!

I felt that they both have differnt up-sides but could not say which was better! (taking away the tow factor, of course for towing, the 3/4 tons blows the caddy away!) I was hoping you guys could decide this argument!

Oh hell new for sure
Lifted trucks are amazing, and look so much better in my opinion... so what im saying is if you were to give me either id choose the dodge

that caddy is sweet! dont listen to walt..if it were the newer esclade that would be a better comparison those things tow amazingly well! that being said your new truck its super tight!! your big timin it with those tony stewarts (20 INCH WHEELS)LOL..man i was rollin 20 inch 36's 3 years ago... both are great looking rigs i like the dodge cause its newer but that is one of the best looking old body style esclades ive seen... you definetly made a great choice upgrading to the dodge im glad everything worked out the way it did for you!!

Personaly I think the wheels on the cadilac look rediculous. Those MTR's on the new rig are great for off hwy travel. I had a 4inch cactus needle threaded through my sidewall with those tires. Althoguh by the looks of things I doubt you will be doing much off road driving. Its a very soft tread get em rotated often.

IMO the new rig looks better towing your boat.

Dodge wins...but the Caddy is a good looking rig to. Dodge has been putting out some amazing vehicles

(joeshmoe) · (joeshmoe) **Join Date: Jan 2003** 02-17-2006, 4:26 AM

i have to agree with walt, the big caddy makes the boat look like a toy

(bill) · (bill) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 02-17-2006, 5:38 AM

both look great !
the boat makes the rig anyway who cares whats towing it as long as it gets it on and off the ramp .riding is where its out ....

Both rides are nice but the dodge wins. That truck looks tough!

The Caddy for sure!!!! Looks pimp.
I hate oversized lifted big trucks, the caddy has class!! Sure the truck can pull better but it is over kill, the caddy can pull just fine.

(wakeboard19) · (wakeboard19) **Join Date: Apr 2005** 02-17-2006, 9:06 AM

The caddy looks sweet. If it was a newer escalade it would be a better comparison. I would of course take the new rig. To bad its not a chevy though!!! But i guess i can't say much when we are looking to get a new mega cab.

(shutupandboard)

I can't call it! They're both nice. If the caddy had a pink bumper and rims, I'd say caddy for sure!

Look how happy walt looks standing next to the caddy in that last pic!

(ruffneckrider) · (ruffneckrider) **Join Date: Jan 2005** 02-17-2006, 9:11 AM

Dam, If the votes keep going this way I'm going to have to buy Walt a 6-pack of Duff*&%$#! Like I said they both have up sides I guess it's just hard "rid'n in tha hood" in the truck!

but what's a brotha to due!

Darrneelll: I heard congrats are in order for you & the wife!

Thanks guys for the kind words.

(ruffneckrider) · (ruffneckrider) **Join Date: Jan 2005** 02-17-2006, 9:23 AM

Yeh, Jeremy good point! Walt does look happy next to the caddy! the caddy is getting some votes and that what I thought would happen.

(tings00)..... yes you did!!!!

Both look good, but I'd rock the Escalade....fo sho.

(denverd1)

needs a pink stripe on the boat. then you'd be rollin

I'd prob go Caddy

All pimp humor aside, the dodge for sure.

Of course, I'm biased since I tow My VLX with a silver Dodge Ram too.

The boat matches the new rig better...So are you going to share the Duff with me? :-)

It might be closer, if you didn't have those Battlestar Galactica tail lights on the Escalade.

Dodge

The POWER WAGON has got to be the winner. A true 4x4 tow rig. I just wish the power wagon was available for my cummins! More 20's on REAL 4x4's!

(hillbilly) · (hillbilly) **Join Date: Aug 2002** 02-18-2006, 2:55 AM

Truck looks better But what do I know I'm an ol hillbilly anyway's. But did I read correct? Thats not a cummins!! How could you buy a Dodge with out a Cummins?

(99_slaunch) · (99_slaunch) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 02-18-2006, 7:47 AM

The Dodge for show!!!
Remove the black door moldings and emblems off the doors.

(humboldtboarder)

I'd take the Dodge for sure. I love the clear cab lights. I agree with Aaron, remove the moldings, but you have to leave the "Power Wagon" emblem. Just so everyone knows that you have the baddest 4x4 on the road.

Has more too do with style. Dude your definitly stylin it both ways. I'd call it draw...

Big pimpin with the caddy, big towing with the dodge, Hard to choose.

There is no boat ramp that Power Wagon can't pull that boat out of, even if you have to use the winch! Caddy has to stick to traditional ramps. GO DODGE!

pimp boat... pimp ride... go with the Caddy

(99_slaunch) · (99_slaunch) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 02-18-2006, 7:43 PM

The caddy is nice but it takes more than some wheels for an old caddy to be pimp.

I'm defentlly diggen the new, everyone has a caddie these days...

isnt anyone sick of talkin bout what this dude has and boosting his ego

(99_slaunch) · (99_slaunch) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 02-18-2006, 8:14 PM

Jealousy and envy get you no where. Every one likes to hear good things about their rides. That is why we all post pic's of our stuff.

(ruffneckrider) · (ruffneckrider) **Join Date: Jan 2005** 02-18-2006, 8:22 PM

Wow, Jason it's not about my ego! it's about a bet a buddy and I made. Anyone who knows me and has seen me ride knows I have NO EGO!
Hey if you want to deflate my ego come out and ride with me some time. I hear you do things on the roam that most poeple can't do on a wakeboard and you'll see it's all about the lifestlye not the ego. Your welcome anytime bro! As for the bet looks like Walt won so next time out the duffs on me pal!

(westsidarider) · (westsidarider) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 02-18-2006, 8:24 PM

ok dude. theres no envy here. maybe ur lookin too deep into it. u jus got done talkin ish urself.

shawn i had no intent on lowering ur ego i was jus messin around talkin crap. thats jus me. i dont mean anything negative toward anyone on here. its my way of goofing around. nothin personal towards u. im always down to ride with people who arent about the party or image. jus like u its about the lifestyle and havin fun.

Hey Shawn it was a lot closer than I thought it would be.

I'm looking forward to the Duff though !

Jason, it's cool bro I know your a good guy and I meant what I said your always wlecomed on my boat! Walt you'll have enough on the next tirp!

walt 02-18-2006, 8:37 PM

If Shawn was all about the image or the party he wouldn't be riding with the likes of Me in my old boat.

Don't sweat it Shawn we all know better !

(westsidarider) · (westsidarider) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 02-18-2006, 9:01 PM

to be honest with ya i would have kept the old ride. i like that look better. but im also not a huge fan of dodge. so that prolly has somethin to do with it. im a chevy guy

walt 02-18-2006, 9:08 PM

I'm not a Dodge fan either but I have to admit that the Power Wagon is a tough looking truck.

No match for a Ford of course !

crakka out

(westsidarider) · (westsidarider) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 02-18-2006, 9:16 PM

super duty is where its at. im into slammed rides right now. ive had my days with lifted trucks. they are bad a$$ but its too damn hard to get ur bike in the back unless u got a crane

(99_slaunch) · (99_slaunch) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 02-18-2006, 9:20 PM

Jason look at my post. It is nice even clean but not pimp. I think pimp would be on 22's with air-ride billet grill and interior some screens etc. I was not trying to talk $h*t. I don't think he needs us to boost his ego. He has a sweet boat and truck and you know this maaan!!!! It's all good Jason we are all just having fun and talking $h*t.
