Does anyone out here on PSN believe they have a truck that deserves a full feature in diesel power mag? if so tell me seriously . i already talked to Mike and Jason thompson about the DT360 truck and excursion and racing&drummin & NMB2's trucks they interested in shooting their trucks for Full feature as they different than most stories in Diesel Power.

so if you feel u have a truck that deserves a look at post what u got and ill let them guys know.

Dang now that is a blast from the past!! I remember you and your truck from back when it was still an IDI and the basement discussions on TDS with Mel, Travis and Heath.

Truck sure looks good, nice to see some old iron still being used and loved.


Tanks doesn't need to be in a mag, everyone with internet access has seen him somewhere & knows his truck by heart. LOL
hahaha, but yea, maybe we wouldn't be seeing the same 25 pictures of Tank's truck again and again :poke:



Definitely some magazine worthy trucks in here!

yea i talk to Thompson ,Sands and mike threw PM's and so far they interested in NMB2's idi & racing&drumming idi and they like pipewhiner DT360 swapped superduty. they wanna shoot them.


i can probably get alot of these trucks in riders rides at least. i can send them to on of them and if they like what they see i can get ur contact info and they can talk to ya'll about a feature.

im just trying to get some different diesel powered vehicles in diesel power mag.

dmaxs and CR's cummins get old after awhile

i know their more guys out here on this site with bada$$ rigs that need featured. so if u feel like throwing out usernames thats cool. most ppl i contacted so far havent turned it down.

Harlan was wanting to get in this year once we get his interior done. His goal is at least one mag in 2012. I think he's already been talking to someone about it.

I really am truly sorry for derailing, and you're more than welcome to delete this thread after it's read... I just couldn't help it!



This belongs to one of the guys who has a shop near ours, and we couldn't help but dyno it after the diesels had gone after Dyno Day 2010!

Spoke with a guy from Diesel Power yesterday, showed him a few pics of my truck, and talked about some of the stuff I've done. I was pretty much told that it would make it as far as the Reader's Rigs. Guess I'm not quite "there" yet.
